The Mutton Birds - Anchor Me (Original Version)

[JordyDodo]

I like it how you get to see a bit of her boob at the end :D

[TheTrentywenty]

poor rainbow warrior......

[skimaniac34]

love this song love being kiwi

[frickinbejesus]

I can't stand the muttonturds

[mutantroosta]

@frickinbejesus yet you still knowingly viewed the video?

[bluesummer33]

you sound like Nina Simone...FABULOUS

[MrRileyds]

songs like thease that make me proud to be kiwi GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!

[fatchicksrfab]

NZ- The first country to give women the vote, possibly why we rank number one for least corruption in the world today :-)

[thickascowshit]

@fatchicksrfab Don't be so delusional with your comments every government is corrupt every corporate business is corrupt all they care about is money, if you think New Zealand is not part of the big scheme do your research before you post such a mindless comment.

[fatchicksrfab]

@thickascowshit actually it was a very mindful and thoughtful comment. I didnt say no corruption I said least corruption. Where ever there is money or power there will also be corruption. I have been delusional, I know what thats like, I wasnt when I made that comment, I was quite rational. Im proud of my country and proud of us as a people, doesnt mean I dont see the darkside, just like to celebrate the multitude of good things when the opportunity arises and Im in the mood.

[MorkaGraven]

@fatchicksrfab We have this new anti-piracy bill which labour voted in and have now decided to go against. Would you claim such a feat is for maximum votes at the next election? Those who want the law gone only have a single decision if they want it removed (trust me, they want it removed, it's horribly impeding on our internet liberties) and they have to vote for all the other stuff they might not want because of it. Dick move by labour...

[stockcar4d]

if they put NZ RUGBY at the start of all the kiwi songs on youtube the world would see that our music is way more reliable than our rugby team lol...not that we gunna lose the world cup but im just sayin

[maozie1]

I remember the"sinking of the rainbow warrior"

[duhaast1]

nz also split the 1st atom!!!



[KauriKlair08]

Does anyone know the words to the maori bit sung at the star of this song on other versions

[ZvezdaNoir]

Don McGlashan's daughter plays Jasmine Cooper in Shortland street...anyone know that?

[andreabaer1]

My o my , this song so reminds me of my time in N.Z....driving a wrecked car on the "wrong" side of the road with "Anchor me" on the radio, feeling totally freedom...I remember me crying beause I was so happy and so yust myself , nothing else...

[wtfkitler]

wicked fucken song

[stockcar4d]

haha you hit some dudes car door on your bike man.....hahahaha bugger!!  all the best mate.....top 10 fan of you'rs

[happyanarki]

I voted for Mariekesone's comment. And I'm Aussie. You bastards!

[dancabjim]

[aarih001]

[bhudda9]

Damn I just love nz music circa 90's; Straitjacket fits, The Chills, Muttonbirds...Doesn't get any better than that

[Mayfrancisxavier]

Brilliant Brilliant! I miss the days of having so much fabulously cool and original music from NZ and Oz around!

[pohowaitai]

[mudaphucker]

@Mariekesone

[Ilovegoldencrumpets]

[aotearoavillan]

It is the Bard: the line "Full fathom five, thy father lies" is from The Tempest:

Dedicted to Andy and Anne, a great wedding day ay

[1Teenaz]

[tailoredplus]

sorry, what was this song about? It's a kiwi classic I grew up with but I wasn't old enough to really grasp what it was about.

[MrTallyTally]

don't think the first line is actually from shakespeare

[troublemonkey68]

THANK YOU ALL!! KIA ORANA! KIA KAHA!! AROHANUI! XXX Megan Petley.

[DirtyDefeatist]

Full fathom five, someday I'll lie. A line from shakespeare

[antmanxl]

great opening line.

what's he saying?

[DirtyDefeatist]

Good to hear NZ music sung with an NZ accent

[paulandolly]

this was a track when I was back at school like 15 years ago love it......on you tube after living in London for almost 10 years going back in time, I need a kick in the ass to go home

[pramboy09]

@paulandolly big one for me living in the uk was "i wish i was in wellington" heard it when i bothered to visit all the home sick kiwis in london, i will never work out why so many of my countrymen didn't bother to live north of london to live in the "real england". London for me was a great place to visit but would rather live alot more north of the big smoke!

[tubtub222]

@paulandolly *KICK UP THE ASS*

[Inotamarshmallow]

awesome song.though only my third fav song.Oh and NZ is awesome!!!

[kiwiclog]

[velvetdream101]

[teaj84]

Hahha I was at the Stade France, Paris in Nov 07 for the AB test... and the was a flyer saying to respect the haka for everyone who went into the stadium to respect the haka... and to the credit of the French there were 80 000 in the stadium and you could here the 22 on the field clearly belting out the haka! made me proud to be a kiwi.....!

[MauiinOz]

Makes me homesick.

[tubtub222]

@MauiinOz Proud to be a kiwi aye!

[KiaOra53]

My vote for the best ever NZ song.

[belkerina]

when this album was released there was an ecm instore comp you had to design a displat Brigett ellis made this awesome sheep with beautiful angle wings hanging by fishing wire and yes our store won ..Love Dons voice

[nzmumm08]

[otumoetaipat]

haha. planning mine, was thinking of this!

[garethmart]

Just awesome. Nothing else i c an say. :-)

[MauiTaha]

Beautiful song, classic Muttonbirds.

Its first line is from Ariel's song in The Tempest to tell Ferdinand his father has drowned...

Full fathom five thy father lies

Of his bones are coral made

[Mariekesone]

New Zealand was the first Western-allied nation to legislate towards a nuclear free zone...

Something to be Proud off..:D

[saradawn6]

@Mariekesone

+ We invented Nuclear :) Ironic or what..Lol.

[Mariekesone]

@saradawn6 lol You're so right....A true Kiwi invention!...

[saradawn6]

@Mariekesone

Hehe :P

[OldSkoolOnWeed]

@Mariekesone it was also a nzer that lead to the possiblity of nuclear technology lol and now we try to stay out of it

[intheend11]

@Mariekesone *of.



[MorkaGraven]

@Mariekesone Why be proud of it?

[Mariekesone]

@MorkaGraven I wrote this a Year ago....

I think we have to celebrate the Good Things that we Do!...:-)

(quote from fatchicksrfab below)

[dr0nehead]

@Mariekesone This isn't the place for patriotic political crap

[Mariekesone]

@dr0nehead Go The All Blacks, Go New Zealand....You have anchored me in the Middle of your Pacific Ocean and i am Proud to be living in such a Great and Beautiful Country....

You must come and visit, because i think it will change your one track headed Mind!!!...:-)

[searby1]

@Mariekesone you really believe *us* nuclear subs dont visit NZ's waters and harbours please.. If only naivety was as rare as common sense NZ'zzz people wouldn't be so green. There's many a search engine; go on look it up..

[Mariekesone]

@searby1....Do you actually like this track? ...I feel some people just use YT as an engine to have a debate ....Yes i am still Proud to live in this country and of this lovely song, nothing will change that...

I said this two Years ago now....and i would write the same thing again today!

This is a Great song of our own Mutton Birds, and has been a very popular and loved song since the early nineties here in NZ....:-)

[searby1]

@Mariekesone  I believe the comments part of utuba is for comments.. Muttonbirds are very much kiwi and yes I do like them. I was disagreein on a political 'comment' of yours. Nz isn't so simple and green as such a song like "the heater" would suggest. Saw Muttonbirds playing at Christchurch Cathedral Sq early nineties new year eve party. Talked to them in a steamed hamburger bar along colombo st and they were open and friendly to the wholesome affair of debate.. Green to believe wmd free.

[choosicles]

[Excidium567]

What the hell has that got to do with anything?

[moondog999]

Keep up with the conversation sunshine!

[Vorper]

@moondog999 i think your post is funny, Who Hates New Zealand? can't say Aussie as  we fought along side them in WW1 and WW2, just curious who would you say?

[str8starbust]

PEACE!!! green at that!

[pramboy74]

no it's not, that came later

[TJNthevisitor]

True this excellent original version by Don McGlashan & The Mutton Birds is a love song.

I get the feeling Don might have been at sea when he wrote this, hence the video directors Nautical Motif in the video ??.

Don't get me wrong i fully support Greenpeace, and the N.Z. all star version is GR8.

But this is something special !!.

[meancrib]
