BULLROARERS - Hellicopter hunting/farming in the Aussie outback.

WILD DOGS HOWLS AND THE LONG GRASS WHISTLES AND THE TALL TREES BREAK!!!

[mikevuk]

Pure Oil.

[janatlen]

One of the songs ever made of MO.. Love them!!!!

[tjelect7]

Does anyone know where I can get one of those wonderful instruments; a bullroarer?

[hold3n052007]

He has not sold out Aus...He is still going from strength to strength in government. Check out his website.

[Bozewani]

When I run for local office, I won't be a sellout.

[nemonix85]

@bozewani, i wonder how long you'd stand in the ring.. Don't be such a naive, I think he got further than anyone else would've.. So easy and cheap to critic on matters you obviously know nothing about..

[alsita]

My favourite song of all time.....

[murrykiki]

It's a knockem' down storm, see the tin roof shake, uh,huh,uh, huh wild dog howl, and the long grass whistles and the tall trees break!!

[OskaRusty]

+1 - awesome lyrics.

Dont take the law into your own hands, dont go looking for a fight.

Some of the best lyrics MO ever did.

[Kaowaul]

I got this song on the Midnight Oil Diesel and Dust CD

[antiflag89ab]

I love this song. no more.

[jsf1905]

Did the Oils make a film clip for this song ?

[mozartcontinuation]

still very relevant

[heinzdavid]

Politics in Australia, and now the world,,, we need a vocal Garret. you only have to get on a jet and have a look at the mess, and its a mess. Garret roar again because "slow wheels turn", we will vote even the people "that chose not to"(it is Law to vote in Australia), i was 7 years old and we where told to throw stones at the "Greenies" at the gates of Olympic Dam South Australia. 2008 and look at the world, we are STILL raping it and THAT IS FACT

[blurman101]

This brings you back to when songs were songs, I love it, Thanks man

[occyoccy]

i always hear this song before get big waves...

[antiflag89ab]

me too!

[surfandsand2]

What a brilliant song. It always takes me back to my years in that great southern land. I always thought this one best captured the magic of the red center. Thanks for that!

[Slatch35]

GoreBull Warming anyone?

[januszfrompoland]

As always: simple, wise lyric and wonderful music. It is so easy to imagine pictures of Australia listening to this song. Has this song a video? If it has, it must be uncommon. Thanks for such songs, guys.

[lupronx19]

Peter Garrett knows you change the system from within. Unfortunately in the US, speaking out brings the law down and stomps the Constitution as we knew it. Be careful who you write to as you'll end up with friends you never invited. Christ is coming back - not global warming.

[marfsousa]

They opened in Brasil in 97 with this song, too...As Great as Ever...

[FairlyGrrl]

They opened with this in Stockholm when we were growing up. 19 May 1988. It was a 'you should have been there' event. They arrived on time, started on time, and never let up for hours. And they started at midnight. (Appropriate.) It took fifteen minutes to settle the crowd down afterwards - and they were mostly media people. I still have Garrett's song sheet somewhere. And this sounded exactly like the record. They're the consumate live band too.

[workerscouncil]

Back at fahrenheit again, ther must be a video to this?

[tim13331]

yeah ! a vidéo please

[SauronsEye]

A wooden ruler with a hole at one end and a piece of string threaded through it makes a good bullroarer.

Maybe just mime the song while swinging a bullroarer around your head so as to get a bit of vision happening might work?
