The Sports - How Come (1981)

[magpiesx5]

Isn't that Skyhooks' drummer?

[nzoz1981]

@magpiesx5 yep

[sirgarence]

You never see music videos featuring kids with schmeissers anymore :-(

[sirgarence]

Any ideas what the guitarist does with his hands at 1:35 ? Almost looks like Auslan...

[gigglegirl40able]

@sirgarence LOL Agree umm so was that a C in auslan i just seen ha ha ha LMAO gd one :)

[seaeagles64]

NzoZ Gem.... Lots of Skyhooks dudes there..

[splintamike]

Badly dressed, but boy they were having a good time!

[GlennErringtonAUS]

always liked dis song "how come?" you may ask.. cos i listen to da radio!

[GlennErringtonAUS]

always like this song ...an u say 'how come?" i say "yeah"

[habibiyaeini3]

Ace song- I remember this! They played it on the radio today and I just had to look up the music clip

[sometimeworld1]

Lots of great Aussie rock during this era. The Sports were definitely up there. Love Suspicious minds, don't throw stones, strangers on a train and this one.

[jonnightrain]

read on wikopedia red symons also played with the sports.. interesting..

[noobifiedcom]

clicked a link from "the Sunny boys"...........

not good enough

[garygarybeers]

I remember The Sports but didn't really get it until much later. Great guitarists in this band. Sure they didn't pull the big rock moves, but they had it happening in terms of rhythm and space. Oh, and ya gotta love Freddy on the drums.... Go Freddy!!!!! :)

[datoobster75]

They don't come any better than this. Great Aussie rock the way it's meant to be. Funny that when I first heard this song, I thought it was Aussie Crawl!

[rtghffdfdg]

Love the funky bellbottom overalls on the little girl to the left (2:52).

[thatsmehaha]

LOL That's me in the yellow shirt!!!!

[nzoz1981]

There's two kids wearing yellow shirts. I assume you're the one in the shorts?

It's great to hear from one of the kids in the video. If possible, are you able to recall the day this was shot?

[JordysMine]

@thatsmehaha even more lol- i'm the bass players kid.

[splintamike]

Love these guys, always taking the piss.

[stkildaline]

Facial expressions and finger snaps aplenty.

[allanpope1971]

Fred Strauk. ex skyhooks drummer yeahhhhhhhhh

[nzoz1981]

I'd love to see Shaun Micallef do a Stephen Cummings impersonation!

[dvscorp]

Shaun Micallef and Stephen Cummings were seperated at birth.

[nzoz1981]

lol, that's hilarious!!!!

[pleximold]

With Steve Martin thrown in

[RowieOutthere]

To those musos who might at times feel , insignifant, or undervalued, I have to tell you Stephen, Andrew, Freddy, Martin ..you got us up and rocking as teenagers! I think we broke the house record at the San Miguel Inn, Sydney at the time when Sydney had a vibrant rock scene. Loved every second of it! You made a difference...who gives a fuck if you didn't become INXS ..you gave us the good times ;-)

[garlo66]

maybe their 2nd or 3rd best song.. probably one of their bigger hits too.. GREAT guitar riff/solo in the middle around 1:40.. not sure if on the Spanish guitar tho..

[calenoG]

I've only had the 'Dont Throw Stones' Lp since the 80's and Love it 2 pieces, but this has given me a wake up call. How did it go wrong? a Brit in Oz in 1981.

[maryanneandbrett]

He always reminded me of a cross between James Reyne and Iggy Pop

[mahoganybasswood]

Holy mackeral! Officially the worst dressed muso's in Christendom. Lead vocals-Christopher Skase? Even got old mate dressed like the blue wiggle's old man.

[nzoz1981]

Okay, I love the Sports. For their honor, I am going to call you a prick. However, I gotta hand it to you. The Christopher Skase remark is still making me laugh right now as I'm typing this. So thanks!

[stagpole]

drummer from Skyhooks

[skyhook75]

Yeah! The legendary Freddie Strauks!!!

[Danteklfg]

80s Australian music ... pure heaven!!

[Leetea88]
