Eskimo Joe - Black Fingernails, Red Wine (from TV)

[7440n]

GREAT song. Love this band. So sorry they chose an OCD, attention-deficient, Ritalin-taking editor and camera man for this video, who believe that people get bored with shots longer that 1.75 seconds. These are brilliant musicians, with impeccable and unique syncopation. Yo, marketing jerks: WE WANT TO SEE THE MUSICIANS PLAY. I want to actually *watch* how Kavyen Temperley is doing that bass line, and MacLeod is doing that guitar line over him.

When did the idea of long cam shots become unhip?

[TheSkulldan]

anybody but me think that when he talks it looks like the slomo guys doing facial expresions a bit faster?

[princesseIise]

I love seeing The 'rage' mark at the start of the video, it reminds me of when I was much younger, when all this music was the new stuff and none of this Justin Bieber, Katy Perry ect ect stuff existed. It also makes me so proud to be Australian. I mean of course, American and UK bands are great as such, but when you find a good Australian band, there's always something amazing and unique about them.

[TeaBagTroopers]

God I remember when I had lived in Australia and this was such a hugely popular song.

[Whitepointa22]

[2011Kafka]

The good ol' Aussie sound, sounds to me like a mix between INXS and Icehouse...

[Mikeybetts]

it took me 2 hours to find this again.

worth every second

[boogs2007]

My 2 favourite albums from Eskimo Joe is Black Fingernails, Red Wine and album that has From The Sea on it.

[StealthLikeTiger]

Haven't heard this song in Years! As soon as it started to play, I had a memory flash back, back to when i was 16 (4 years ago!).

All I can say is, this is the power of music!

[robborabies1]

@StealthLikeTiger Same. Heard the song a few weeks ago and I remembered how awesome this is. For some reason I remember the football when I think about this song.

[StealthLikeTiger]

@robborabies1 Pretty awesome really. Shame these guys dont do more of this kinda of music. I wasn't impressed with the latest album.

[robborabies1]

[Ithink998]

lol true they play this at my gym during body pump too

[Sabrepulsified]

i love it so much...

it's so amazing <3

[beaksofeagles]

When I first heard this on the new Bodypump release, I was thinking "Who is this? Is it Icehouse? INXS?" That wide open Australian sound....Great Southern Land..... I like it....

[dermut71]

@beaksofeagles - its because unlike most bands today, they use synths rather than just guitars and drums. gives you the "wide open" sound as you say. Have a listen to Muse's latest album "resistance", you might like that too. cheers

[KmaWikkid]

Eww.

[bowtothechicken]

BDO 2010!!!!

[fakta15]

The sound of a band selling out

[R0B1NV]

@ sarah, good for you ¬.¬

[goldmundelectronica]

Reminds me: Simple Minds.. but sounds great anyway!

[banglaw123]

I agree - one of the great bands of the 80's and 90's.

[basshuntersuckscock]

Where abouts are you from Sezzah

[SezzahMelon]

I saw them live last night. They were so good. they are a great band to see live. if you ever have the chance to see them, take it.

They sound great, and they actually get into their performances.

My name is Sarah, and i have always loved that song, and wasnt expecting them to play it. It made my life so great when they did =D

[JoshuaJethroh]

[XxAwsomexxX]

great song, thats all i gotta say

[zelda123344]

GREATEST SONG EVER!!!!!

[Sablicious]

I so relate to this song.  I too never could 'understand the point of fingers'... : /

xD

[H8red666]

Dude its all of us stand and point our fingers lol great song though

[Sablicious]

Okay. But that still doesn't explain the 'finger phenomenon'... : /

^_^

[petah999]

this is such a great song i love it

[selethice]

so addictid to this song dude.

[JohnoEAL]

That's because you're a dipshit dude.

[Postscriptnow]

Home grown talent. Unbeatable! I thought it was about herion addiction?

[carmichaelful]

The whole song is about youth suicide. "Straight down" means the graves below. Thus of course the lead singer has a pained expression for a painful topic.

[scattingwithjaja]

rofl its not about that at all. its just about everyone agreeing that theres a hell but argues about god... which is why he says this this arguement over god continues.. all of us stand and point our fingers at the ground... lol at you trying to sound all smart and understanding about the song ahha.

[elina1988k]

it is not so :p it is about a people being very 'smart' , pointing fingers on other people. It says that we should live or own lifes.

[jamie3553]

Lol of course its cuz their aussie =)
