I saw an old Kiwi film last week on SBS called "Go Girls". and they played this song during the closing credits so I just had to search for it and "Bingo" here tis! Thanks Knees Tease. You rock!
@BlackFizz205 Wasn't Steve from Burnley in the UK originally? Because my Dad is from Burnley and I remember Dad got talking to him at the airport once... they heard each others Burnley accents. I think it was Steve, but may have been another... was definitely someone in The Mockers though
@superjono2 idk where b/c i wasn't born there but my mum (Steve's sister) was, Steve, her and their ther brother moved to NZ were me and my mum live, Steve gassed himself in his car and their other brother is a piss head so i dont know much about Steve b/c he died before i was born i only know wht mum has told me
Oh, this is one of my fav songs from The Mockers. Brings back so many memories, they are a great 80's Kiwi band. Steve Thorpe was the drummer, he was the coolest and a shame about his passing, it was so sad and the keyboardist Tim Wedde is in Australia and goes on tour with country singer Graeme Connors, saw him in Rockhampton, Qld, Australia 2004. Still an awesome kiwi band, shows how things have changed since the 80's.
omg i luv this song so much. it suks that music like this doesnt cum out anymore. if i go tell anyone that i like this song they think im bloomin crazy!!!!! AHHHH
These tossers played at my school in a free concert in about 1985....Green Bay High School in West Auckland...........I remember the lead singer had nail polish on
shit like this ... you know the bands like th' dudes ... crowded house.. dd ... all the old nz groups make me angry and jealous that i was bought up through an era of boy bands like bloody n sync and back street. wat i would give to be born in the 70's and had this booming at my parties
Not a case of miming. Studio recording playing. Live audio perfrormance is matched to it. common everyday thing. BTW it took literally weeks and weeks to correct Fagan's off-pitch singing in post-production. And, since Fagan can't harmonize, a failed shithead from Chicago called Bill Millay is doing the harmony vocals in the background. He was a thief, a liar and an asshole but he could sing. He eventually married Gayle Welch from Kaitaia (check Kim Fowley's last "Runaways" album, she's on it.)
Their miming it, notice at the beginning when the singing starts, Andrew hasn't got the microphone anywhere near his mouth, and has to turn his back to the crowd and get into time. Also drums are out here and there.
naturally you would say that been from the UK, I have nothing against that cause the majority of my family is from there, but don't criticise something that you will never aspire to be.
sorry, wrong-nothing to do with being from the UK. In fact i do like some NZ music (Dragon, Crowded House, Exponents) but i'm afraid this song doesn't cut it.
tell your uncle from a fan that this was a bloody great song. but RIP to the drummer, very sad to hear of a death, I think we all don't like to hear about sad news
Ha so funny, at 14 and onwards I used to go to their concerts, stand in front of the keyboards and tell him i loved him... If your out there... I still love you!! haha
Thank you so very much, I am so proud to know this song, it is a part of been a Kiwi, something I am proud of and will always hold on to. once again Thanks and choice.
Cringeworthy.
