  • kakva pesma ...

  • Baš mi je drago da vidim ovoliko južnih Slovena ovde! Verovatno smo svi došli ovde zbog kanala VH1! Pozdrav iz Srbije!

  • @1994Powerslave Pre bih rekla da smo sad toliko sjebani da nam je potrebno malo bezbriznih '80 u nasim zivotima... Poz svim dobrim ljudima!!!

  • Jebeno dobra pesma, videh je kao reklamu VH1, jedva je nađoh :))

  • @2madrobot

    e neces verovati - isti slucaj kod mene! :)))

  • Kako je pevač nadrkano otpevao pesmu!

  • Da da, ovo je genijalno :)

  • Hehe primetio sam da puno nas juznih slovena slusa dobru muzu ^^

  • Sjajna pesma. Ipak, moram da kazem da je producent pozercina. Bila bi mnogo bolja sa prljavijim distorzijama.

  • Kako da spavamo kad nam kreveti gore :D

  • wack dancer,hell of a singer,crazy song :)

  • super je pjesma!

  • Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: Well, you see, Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on.

  • Comment removed

  • I SENT THIS SONG TO MY F-CKING LANDLORD!!!!

    

  • predobro..... :DDD

  • do jaja! :)

  • @82filke, coabate

    Da znate da jeste... Legendarna pesma... :D

  • I don't know what I love more, the lead singer's voice, or the way he dances like he's on drugs and thinks he's only made of like 36 moving parts.

  • How's Garrett doing in Aussie politics these days? I've always admired his shift from music to environmental/educational issues.

  • oui, très bonne track engagée en faveur des aborigènes australiens. En 15 ans, cette chanson n'a pas pris une ride. Groupe anti promo et très efficace en matière d'écologie. A cesser de snober :)

  • You dance while the earth is turning by not moving your feet.

    You sleep on the other side of the bed, away from the fire.

    Do I have to explain everything?

  • LOL. And stillthe bed's are to much burning.

  • great song..........................­..

  • I remember seeing them live in Ellis park, Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1995

    This song was magic

  • I remember seeing them live in Ellis park, Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1995

  • @dragonz518 Yep dude my wife and I were there as well. Me cos I was in the SAP on duty, and I got the missus in for free. If I remember Sting was there as well. Good old days in Joburg.

  • Perso je préfère la reprise des Black Bomb A, Sa bouge plus. 

    Bon après chacuns ses goûts.

  • @MrSlimjim28 lmao dude!!! Rof haha and idk

  • Still one of my favorite songs from d 80's. Great!!

  • r his feet super glued to the floor?

  • REAL ROCKnROLL! THIS BADASS SONG NEVER FAILS TO GET MY OLD ASS UP AND MOVING!

  • This kickkkkssss Asssssssssss !!!!!!

  • leaders of countries are elected to keep things the way they are, not to change...we need to abolish such oppressive system and create a new one! fuck the rulers...i love this song.

  • @scarface18707 I call it: "Keeping the peace". Entertainment & technology are it's two most valuable administrative assets - keep peoples' minds occupied with rubbish so they're too busy to give a damn. I like this song too - there's something very sincere about it.

  • This song still kicks ass!

  • Great song

  • Great song, great video and great band.

  • I saw them live a few years ago. Brilliant simply brilliant!!!

  • I think his feet are glued down,,otherwise he might be able to dance...NOT...

  • Peter Garrett is a fucking legend.

  • Great song and great video. I wonder whether the director of the music video was inspired by the opening sequence from "Once Upon a Time in the West"? Teh movie was on a few nights back and it uses the same windmill sound in the background of its titles scene -video is at bW-jSa9_k3M

  • hahaha this guys a total hippie i love it.

    his dancing cracks me up too..

    never seen anyone dance like that..its fuckin great hahah and the 2:26-2:50

    shadows hahahahahahahahhahaha his pokey head come from the side.

    WaaHHH" then the moon part..my favorite hahahahahah that will make me laugh everytime

  • oh my gosh, i just recently heard this song, about a week ago...

    and ive been listneing to this song everyday since.

    and now i just figured out what these guys are trying to say!!!

    wow, lets test this..somebody please..tell me what you think they're trying to say.

  • @joshcky0113 there saying its ok to burn an oil lamp at 12pm midnite..

  • the hills have eyes.  lol

  • 1:46 has he got epilepsy?

  • @antoset83 hahaha, just how Peter Garrett dances champ

  • Now more than ever..."How can we sleep while our beds are burniiiiing?..."

  • I have used this song in my holiday photoshow of Ayers Rock (Uluru) and am now totally obsessed with it, can't stop playing it

  • Undoubtedly this is one of the most important songs to every be written about Australia. It's message is crystal clear as it was intended by Michael. And to think Daddy wanted his to be a lawyer just like the rest of the family. However he had to heed the call of his heart. Music was in his veins. If you look at the Abo now compared to 30-40 years ago. See how heavy they are now. All that sugar and salt in that government food like the Indian's in America. Diabetes to the max.

  • lol his chicken dance love this song

  • Encore du rock Australien...

    Aussie rock...

  • @pharmapayan Non, ça c'est du " Style - Cage " Autrement dit,

    du rock de Green Bay , Wisconcin ;)

  • He looks like the bloke from crystal maze. Epic song.

  • THIS SONG IS SO TRUE ABOUT THE TREATMENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO OWNED THE LAND DOWN UNDER

  • Great song! My son finally found it! One of the best of it's time!

  • muito bom e atual.

  • @tumoreno18 I say get a life...

  • Above all others....this song makes me proud 2 b Australian!!

  • I never knew Michael Klim was the lead singer of Midnight oil!

    ... joking. Man, you can't argue that the Oil is shit when Rolling Stone named "Diesel and Dust" the 13th best Album of the 1980's (out of 100)... you just can't!

    Respect!

  • I really get a kick out of this shit. Just where are we, as the "white establishment", supposed to go, nimrod? Are we suppose to just jump into the sea? As far as I'm concerned, where you were born is where you belong, and if you or somebody else doesn't like it, tough shit. "Ill-treatment", of course, is another issue, But we've all got a right to live.

  • you say ladey gaga i say shit

  • erica jerked her wenger to this

  • esta buena la cancion, algo muy bueno de los autralianos!!!!!

  • Great !! Take a Bow...

  • This is a really inspirational song for me as a half Australian. I'm just glad that nobody has turned the comment section into a political discussion... yet

  • GREAT SONG! i get the message in the lyrrics but fortunatly not in the msuic video. this is not a fitting music video for the song

  • who would have though Garretts words would come back to haunt him...as minister in the Rudd Labor government his policy was responsible for 4 deaths and countless homes burning to the ground..

    how do you sleep at night... ? Shame on you Garrett...!

    Face the facts Australia is the best

  • I think that the version of this song by Jessica Boehrs (Novaspace) is much better than this Ozzie crap. And Jessica is absolutely hot! What does anybody else think?

  • @CrazyDave861

    Dave, you're fucking delusional if you think that useless American crap is better than Midnight Oil, mate.

  • what a great song and what a message xxx

  • This song is for listening very loud !

  • Super, splendid and a great song with a (political) message !!

  • classic

  • Great song great political and social message ... It's such a shame Peter Garret sold his soul to the Devil and now his message is not his own but merely a part of the system he sung and wrote so strongly against ... It goes to prove, we all have a price ... sad indeed.

  • Kool song I always liked it. It came on MTV when it used to play music. O yeah the font to lyrics to beds r burning that was nifty.
