  • 4x Gold son. fucking oath.

  • Heart of Gold!!! xxxx. love when he shakes his head when hes sweating omfg i get soo off onit lmfaoooo..

  • this song is just  fuckin terrific!!!

  • i love jimmy barnes

    

  • This top rated comment just pathetic. Jimmy Barnes is just singing about the working class roots in Australian culture. The Australians have a very rich and beautiful history.

  • @wellsey69 Agreed. That comment has now been deleted.

  • LOl..@ injaqenwetruct..... I'm nobody except I have a disabled son who is 23.... I come from the Sunny Coast and when I look at the original of this song... It has a huge impact... get a life....

  • @miacis9 How is your son relevant to anything at all on this web page? If you like the original version of this song why not comment on a Journey page as Jimmy the pretender did not write this song. To me, using a disabled son whom has nothing to do with anything to pull heartstrings just to get a pointless point across is pathetic. You must listen to a lot of Jimmy as this is a technique he uses often in his lyric writing. Go listen to some Barnsey, Queensland redneck.

  • @tim140383 fuck off you dickhead

  • Barnsie rocks,

  • JB is a great great Aussie.

  • @injaqenwetrust Look at me not caring. Enjoying the music, not being jealous of his success.

  • It's unaustralian not to love Jimmy Barnes.

  • He had the voice ...this boy from the land of OZ ...

  • @kiwimale1 He was born in Glasgow, so was his brother ( John Swan of Swannee fame) both grew up in Adelaide in Australia....

  • @kiwimale1 The boy as you call him, is from Scotland ! LOL

  • Aussie Bruce Springsteen

  • @injaqenwetrust i think how hard he found working and the struggle and pain he must have felt over it give him more credibility to sing about working than anyone :P

  • im 13 but this is one of my fav songs :)

    

  • Jimmy is a true legend to the boat people, he is walking proof that once in Australia anybody can make it.

  • @tim140383 You stupid flog.This song was made before boat people were an issue.

    Until there are no homeless Australians on the streets, shut the doors.

    People like you really ruin my day.

  • @seffundoos Sorry to break your surrealistic yobbo barnsey listening, vb swirling fantacy that boat people are creating people to be homeless. Some choose that lifestyle the word is itinerant. Unless you are a full blooded abbo then your heritage is made up of boat people as-well, therefore your own ancestors are also the cause of this country to have homeless. Your fat yobbo idol barnsey was not even born here, "shut the doors" you say, where is your logic? Go back to your barnsey simple idiot.

  • @tim140383

    Just looked at your page and I'm sorry that you live a sad life and have to go to different videos and cause shit. Maybe you need some more attention at home. Life is too short to be mad at the world buddy.

    Peace

  • @senrab316 Just planting seeds, showing people that independent thought is ok.

  • @injaqenwetrust Who the fuck are you? Jimmy Barnes is an ARTIST you fat piece of shit. He is singing FOR the people, so why are you offended and bagging him.  90% of "real" Aussies actually like Jimmy Barnes and his music, especially when he was with Cold Chisel, and I know a long line of old school Hard Yakka workmen who all like Jimmy Barnes. So I figured that you must be one of the following: 1. Gay 2. Leb 3. Wog 4. German 5. Jewish 6. Retarded 7. Dole Bludger
  • @johnyringoz Thanks for confirming the redneck stereotype for us all, your fellow Barneslovers must be so proud. So you're saying that Barnes fans (90% of Aussies) are 1) Racist 2) Prejudice 3) Biggoted 4) Insecure 5) Intellectual Lightweights. So I'm tipping the only 'long line' you've been a part of recently was the unemployment line down the road from your dope dealers house. Speaking of, make sure you watch Cops tonight, I heard the'yre doing a special on your trailer park.

  • @johnyringoz I have been a hard working tradesman my whole life, how does this steriotype me to be an uneducated foreign retard. Seing other people can see through this piece of trash gives me an insight that there are others out there that can think for themselves. How the fuck is this American trash FOR THE PEOPLE?All this song is insinuating is that if you dont work your ass off and pay your taxes you will be ostracized from society as being an old school hard yakka workman.Pay taxes suckers!

  • @tim140383

    Our country is sold out, I realise that. But this music was created in an era where you had to "bust your guts" to earn a living, where you got paid 2 fifths of fuck all just to put food on the table, and you worked like a dog and swung a pick in 40 degree heat until you fainted, but as long as you and the family were healthy and you had a roof over your heads is all that mattered.

    TODAY, this music is a legacy reminder of that past, to pay tribute to it, otherwise you're ignorant.

  • @johnyringoz yeah totally agree, he is an aussie legend

  • @endospink He is not Aussie he is Scottish, and this song was not written by him it was written by an American.

  • why does this only have 300 975 views?

  • OMG: Jimmy, I bought ur first CD in 1989 (Barnestorming) - it helps me such a lot in that hard time. NOW - i "refound" ur music again and saw this video, I got tears in my eyes, cos I saw that my hero is getting older-but: NOT THE VOICE.... Thx so much for helping me in that hard time I had, thx for ur music....

  • Umm, my Dad was a coal mIner, WHIO ACTUALLY DIED FROM EMPHSYMEA FROM BEING GASSED IN THE MINES....and have been given the choice, I think ANY ONE WOULD CHOOSE TO SING FOR A LIVING, YOU POMPOUS D..., REALLY.

    CLEARLY YOU ARE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GET A REA LIFE.

    YOU KNOW NOTHING, SO KEEP YOUR UNINFORMED OPINIONS TO YOUR SELF.

  • WHOEVER SAY'S THIS SONG IS BAD just made twenty two million enemies

  • what a song

  • Comment removed

  • the best song in the world barnes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wowowowowowowowowowowowow

  • @injaqenwetrust Just to let you know cause obviously you weren't listening he says HE'S a working class man not I'M a working class man go dribble on some one elses page about Jimmy's employment history. All an artist has to do is touch the heart of people and he did. Enough said.

  • Love this guy, sings from the guts...pure aussie! love it!!!

  • WHAT 18 DISLIKES WTF

  • lie on a bed, follow the tempo, close eyes, enjoy the voice!!

  • awesome!!!

  • @techkra If your iq is any higher than jimmys then you will be able to explain your logic on the reasoning Jimmy has more of an understanding on hard work than me.

  • @tim140383 Listen to the song. "He's a working class man." "HE'S" Not "I'm".

  • Barnesy is just the best. Have met him and what a guy!!

  • im only 13. i love this song.

  • I've had the chance to see Jimmy Barnes perform this song live.. It was the most amazing performance. I have been to alot of concerts but he was by far the best..

  • I love this song so much! This tells the story of blue collar, denim jean wearin' individuals that bust ass everyday to make a livin'..Aussie or American. Barnes kicks ass..1985 and now. God bless ya Jimmy!!! Keep rockin' ;)

  • @Nazisympathiser Well if your fucked up deased whore bitch you call a mother is a corpse then yeah i fucked her bones out man. I dug her up and gave her a good solid pounding, her bones are nice and white now from when i sprayed all over her.

  • @ZroDfects stupid Kike song -free , irritating morons - priceless!!!

  • I love this song possible more than anything else... songs do not change... they stay strong and stable. Once they are done, that is what they are. No more, no less. This song will always be one of the best early romantic, honest, down to earth reflections of Australian history... I simply <3 it!... Thanks Jimmy :D

  • this guy doesnt sing!!..he is shouting!!...ugly!!

  • @freddyjura To think he sold thousands of records pretending to be a Christian when he is in fact a Jew. I want a refund.

  • @freddyjura This shit if FUNNY. this dude is a total hack. Stephen Pearcy from Ratt sounds like an opera singer compared to this guy.

  • Barnsey you're the best

  • @hollgries Barnesy youre a Kike!!

  • would you believe I've had my finger up Jimmy Barnes' dog's arse?

  • America better get back the spirit of production or the working class man as well as this ignorant, pathetic country is toast!

    A nation cannot consume and tax its way into prosperity, it can only produce its way!

  • have all his music he fuking rocks 

  • legend of all time

  • aussie spirit...................... thats all

  • @mitsiwel Doc Neesson = aussie spirit. Jimmy Barnes = talentless hack.

  • @4JayeP yeah seeing as though like 3/4 of australia want khe sahn-jimmy barnes as the national anthem fuckhead wake up to yahself you silly cunt

  • @4JayeP vice-versa??

    (except that Doc neeson is a doctor, so maybe not 100% talentless?)

  • My favourite song from Barnsie, I love it!!

  • All this talk about the working class must have made the Burgher Ronald McDonald chippy!

  • it would be my dream to meet him

  • i m going to meet him in few days he is coming to queensland..

  • JIMMY IS THE ALIVE GOD

  • I think Jimmy sometimes sounds like Fogerty especially in this song!

  • Jimmy Barnes used to host a radio show here in Atlanta, I recall it. I only remember his work from The Lost Boys with inxs. I should probably read more about this walking enigma and why people have heard of him but studious ppl in the industry have not. He can carry a tune, looks NOTHING like he used to, I used to hear him all the time...how odd.

  • yeah i agree, still scottish...........

  • can we hurry the fuck up and make this or khe sanh our offical national anthem

  • when i have 1 or 2 drinks under my belt i can belt this song right out like jimmy barnes :) hurts the throat though

  • @dyball24 biggest aussie thing to do is get your barnsey out after a drink, love it

  • @julz7196 yeah i agree there

  • I am old - 66 years. Bloody hell, I love this song; this is Australia. Bloody idiot wrecked his voice for one of the few songs that typify the Australian spirit.

    Don't tell us what to do - we KNOW what to do. We don't need to be told. I love us!!!

    We are just a bit towey, that's all. We arc up at authority, usually do the right thing and try to allow everyone else his own thing. We are not exclusive. We try to be inclusive, but there are arseholes everywhere.

    We aren't good at arseholes.

  • Gung Ho !

  • brought a tear to me eye tonight, I tell ya one thing people, after a long hard day an well earn drink (west end draught) this song really makes you love this country

  • King.. this man is KING!!!!

  • Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie

  • this song will live forever. it is australia's stairway to heaven..

  • Voice.

    Car man Aussie, c'mon.

  • he aint that good that live aye

  • hes scotish

  • No. He is AUSTRALIAN born in Scotland. He recorded this song as a tribute to all his Aussie fans its us hes singing about.

    DOODLAKINE here I come again!

  • still scottish.

  • the unofficial australian national anthem. there is noone liek Barnsey

  • And also, I met Jimmy Barnes on a plane to Sydney and got his signature :) I was ever so proud.

  • Comment removed

  • onya Jim

  • Jimmy is the king .. Love you Jimmy .. HE IS NOT DEAD AHHAHAHA

  • Not sure where these comments are coming from but Jimmy is alive and well.

  • goodnight sweet prince RIP 2009

  • he isnt fucking dead idot if he was it would b in the news god

  • RIP Jimmy, We'll miss you!

  • you fuckhole, hes not dead, dont scare people

  • ur frieed

  • Let's face it. If you take any nationality back far enough they're all from somewhere else. You Aussies should be proud of the fact that the Scots think enough of Barnesy to try and claim a little credit for his legendary status. I'm from Northern Ireland, by the way. You know...where Captain Moonlite was born, Errol Flynn lived as a boy...;-).

  • does anyone no where to get working class man sheet music from

    any help would be great

    cheers

  • no offence but im glad i heard rascal flats coz other wise id think they all suck from aussie

  • jimmys a fuckin legend

  • He's an aussie born in Scotland.... strange, as far as I'm concerned whatever country your in is your nationality
