no matter what anyone says JPY was one of the greatest like all his counterparts all over the world there is very little to equall these greats- our younger generation will never experience this...... i had JPY's musoc when I was 6 years old today all the youngsters ( I am 44 ) rock to his music on u tube keep rockin
Australia is simply a transplanted form of Great Britain. In Australia, they still bow to the queen, believe it or not. They're stuck in some time warp from a long time ago.
@bracken1000 Dude John Paul aint exactly one of Australias finest. I'll name you 20 great aussie bands from the past 4 decades if u need evidence. Heres a start youtube.com/watch?v=OvL_OS435RU&list=LLWbPL4-NFTGlxQPHPh6DgBA&index=19&feature=plpp_video have a good time.
@bracken1000 actually, my family immigrated from scottland in the 19th century. the only thing trash is comments like yours.........populations grow, people spread out, just like we have for thousands of years. after all, we are all african. so all that crap your spreading is just typical hate...get over it, no one likes you anyway...........
@needaman66 People who make comments like that believe what others tell them and don't think for themselves. It's reflective of their level of intelligence, which is next to none.
@aaronstately Yes, it is no surprise to me the decay of Australia is commensurate to the dwindling number of yellow traffic lights compared to the new and politically correct red and green ones. The race who installed those traffic lights have been ordered to watch them be destroyed by the invading 'multi-coloured' hordes.
(BTW I'm not having a shot at you, just at other people who were making stupid racist comments here).
@pmam1968, you’re obviously a Brown/Gillard supporter and shill for diversity which equates to wiping out the Whites that built this nation. Yet you have the chutzpah to point the finger at others and call them racist. Stupid hypocrite.
Look at this amazing footage of Melbourne in the mid-70's...it's all White, all Australian, and alright! That was really the case ever since, until less than ten years ago! On this solemn day we've got to remember our nation's past heroes...and strive to make sure that we don't become yesterday's heroes!
@gemmasasha How many cities the Aborigines built? Answer...NONE! You don't have to say "natives aborigines" either when referring to the same people. In terms of nativism though, that's us, the Australians who founded a civilised sovereign nation and built some of the world's best cities... and the Aborigines (who liberals always raise as their only imagined "ace up the sleeve" in this issue!) do NOT rate as any kind of "reason" why we should lose our cities, our society, and our lives now!
@gemmasasha The Aborigines were NOT "perfectly alright" either in the past until the White (specifically British) man came here.They were (are?) a primitive people who never progressed beyond the early stone age. Their societies were rife with violence, abuse, rape and cruelty. They through their ignorance burnd most of the continent into a desert, and through either such destruction or over-hunting made extinct an enormous amount of wildlife. They're got their right to live here...
@gemmasasha ...with respect, for sure, but they are NO "excuse" as to why Australians should lose their society under a flood of foreign races now! The issue is about this great city, Melbourne, which is being destroyed now owing to the massive numbers of alien races, foreign nationalities, and clashing cultures that are being ruthlessly imported. They're NOT coming here to live like and Aborigine, and they have NO respect for them either! They want to take advantage of our civilised society!
@gemmasasha We owe them NOTHING! To our forefathers who made this great city and nation, to ourselves who cherish it, and to those who will come after us - and who face a seriously threatened future indeed if something is not done to stop all this - we owe EVERYTHING!!!
@SKOTP69, just over 3 weeks back I watched this very clip and marveled at the Whiteness on the streets of Melbourne. Your post was poignant. It is no surprise to me the decay of Australia is commensurate to the dwindling Anglo Saxon culture, now atomised by 'Political Correctness', ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’. The race that built this nation has been ordered to watch it be destroyed the invading third world cultures.
@thethrowaway1000 Thank you so much! It's great and heartwarming to see someone else realise this too....and also so terribly tragic that it is even happening to have to be noticed and spoken against!
@thethrowaway1000 They used to say the same thing when the Italians and Greeks came to Australia in the 50's and 60's - HOWEVER - We broke our backs and did what we promised we would do when we came here.
So do I agree with you? Yes and No - Let immigrants come - But let them come legally and with the promise to work and help the economy and contribute, as did we when we came out here
I mean seriously, Melbourne wouldn't be the same without the old-school wogs would it? :)
@tryandlisten, you raise a sound point and one that underscores the value in EUROPEAN immigration ONLY!
What we have now, courtesy of ‘diversity’, a tinder keg of tribalism and lacking integration, which is already expressing itself in increased crime, terrorist activity and racial attacks on White Australians.
Further, Victorian infrastructure is bursting at the seams with some 1400 immigrants pouring in per week. Hospitals, water, housing, roads, power are all on critical precipices.
@thethrowaway1000 I still have to challenge you (a little) on your point - To generalise on European vs Middle East/African immigration can be a little unfair. I lived in Richmond for 4years, you dont think I was cursing all the smack that was polluting the streets thanks to a certain element, a lot of which was Vietnamese? Yet when I went to work and worked alongside some good mates who were also Vietnamese, what conclusion can you draw? What is at fault here, race or govt policies?
@tryandlisten, Race is the issue here. Tribalism will always rise above every Neo-Marxist policy designed to curb the natural movements of the genetic gyroscope. Try as Tito did, and the end result is a Balkanization – evident in Australia with ethnic-enclaves lacking integration. When racial attacks occur it is often between non-whites and yet Whites are berated for ‘not doing enough for social inclusiveness’ i.e. the recent Vietnamese/Sudanese/Lebanese attacks on Indians in Melbourne.
@thethrowaway1000 Ok fair points - I personally believe the wogs that came out had hat in hand, thanked Australia for the opportunity and promised to pay back the favour which they did ten-fold - I wonder if modern-day 'refugees' are worthy of the same praise or are they just taking the piss.
@tryandlisten, there’s an air of entitlement in many of today’s immigrants, evidenced quite openly in the detention centre riots and demands for settlement. Given they’ve $helled out 20k USD to smugglers for illegal entry, they want what’s been promised honoured. Couple this with most being young men (often from Afghanistan) who have fled and abandoned their wives and children and civic responsibilities. Irony is our best and bravest are dying over there doing the job they refuse to do.
@thethrowaway1000 Oh, please, wasn't Australia founded by illegal invasions of white people from Great Britain? Talk about entitlement! Most of them were crooks and murderers.
@bracken1000, you definitely don’t just sound like a moron, you are a moron! You can’t accept the brutal truth that the Whites built Australia, and this very film clip shows a typical Melbourne of the 1970’s before all the multicultural trash infiltrated and trashed the urban environment/culture. If you have something constructive to add then do so, but your shilling for neo-marxist diversity is already a proven nation wrecker. Just look at the UK and what a mess unmitigated immigration causes.
@SKOTP69 Couldnt agree more if we go to the U.A.E or Saudi Arabia etc we have to follow theyre laws and way of life so when they come here they can follow the Aussie way
Ha ha ha, looking back that food court was pretty dodgy, but it got plenty of my money! Pity the area has been replaced by the worlds ugliest building - Federation Square. The old Gas and Fuel buildings look better than this.
Same links can be drawn through so many great acts of the 1970's JPY, Easybeats, ACDC, Flash and the Pan, let alone the preformers who covered their stuff - Suzi Quatro, Rod Stewart, INXS and Meat Loaf. A couple of the greatest songwriters of all time
I first heard this song in '85, when I was 13. It made me cry. It's another song, like Del Shannon's Runaway, happy tune but sad story. Very special song to me :)
I remember climbing under the Bridge at St Kilda Road, grabbing Pigons to Breed and Race them when i was young and i like the Old Ford 1974 Fairlane, it was 100% same as my one. the good old days, Cheers ;) So many good songs came out the Late 70's and 80's especialy the euro disco stuff, which at the time you would have to go to Central Station in the City Square in Melbourne, not anymore it's the Net & Utube, thank god there are smart people that come up with IDEAS like that.
I think This Video photo in 1965 or 1964 Cars seems to be 1950's Style 1970's more advanced than this other wise charl stone and some classical model ended by middle 1970's
I always thought this guy moon lighted on general Hospital as Randy the cab driver...Wasnt that him? I know this guy played some mean tennis games with The Van Patten Boys.
did you know that the foo fighters last 3 albums were written about what i have discovered? dont believe me? read my 2 comments below to find out why. i am not lying. honest. you may have to press "see all" to find both of them. regards from moriarty tasmania.
i came up with a theory that involves the book of genesis (fig leaves) buddha (sitting under the bodhi fig tree) jesus (many sayings about figs) ross horne's book (new health revolution) and science (figs are the most important source of food for fruit eating rainforest animals). i then experimented on the figs by eating mainly dried figs (same brand) for over 6 years now and found cycles which i related to the numbers in psgs 11/12 of the book of revelations. this theory has gone everywhere.
so far i have had eliminations at days 504, 840, 1176, 1512, 1848, 2184, and expect my 7th at day 2520. today is day 2315. i have definitely found something. i am not lying. so many songs have been written about my discovery which has gone around the world..the foo fighters last 3 albums.."vertigo" by U2 (my first name is phil)..coldplays last 2 albums etc. an elimination is a day when you experience strong flu-like symptoms and feel terrible. bad stuff is washed out of your body.
Loved this song. Saw JPY in concert back in the '70's at the Eaglehawk Town Hall. He was fabulous back then. Hated his "Love is in the Air" though. Glad to hear that he's been inducted into the ARIA HOF - he deserves it. He always seemed to be more in love with fishing than with singing & being a pop star. I heard that Molly had to talk him into it. I had the album that you displayed too.....of course.
It is SO amazing watching videos like this, and sad now...look at everyone on the streets of Melbourne...ALL Australians!!! Let's not let ourselves be indeed made "yesterday's heroes"!!!
@scarefaceR18 .. I know I'm responding months later ... this song was written by Vanda & Young for John Paul Young originally. Bay City Rollers done a cover version later :)
Canada has a piece of your heart. You can not only sing but you showed me , you are a strong person in respect with fellow singers in Australia. John Cave was a large part of my life and I need to thank you once again for being you and attending his funeral. It has been a few months, but reminding you , I still haven't forgotten and that is why I am posting this. Thanks 484.
just seen this for the first time in 30 yrs.....the first concert i was allowed to go to was JPY .13yrs old and in love with my pop star (backed up by Rockwell(enough) T James)
This guy was betting on being able to pull the wool over the eyes of future generations but we know the we know he was nobody's hero. He was telling Ted Murly, just wait, people are going to look back at this and say that man embodied the 70's rock mentality. How do you convince your video director to catch your ugly look from 3 different angles in 1 shot and not emote in any of them. Why does his POV just plow through people. They're looking at you because you're being an asshole.
I had John's picture on my wall!!! I cut his poster out from our local newspaper in South Africa. Loved him and still do! Remember the day's when we could get prints from the newspaper and iron them on our T-shirts? What was that American TV show? It escapes me now - cheap vino will do that to ya. Um, Peter Strauss was a big player in the late show soap! Anyone remember?
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Wanted to thank you personally for attending John Caves funeral . I was so happy to hear this, Thanks for your respect from you and the music industry. Tomorrow would have been his birthday in Australia, Nov.19/2010. He is spending it now in heaven.xo tequila 484
I´m born 1968 and I heard this song with John Paul Young the first time in the middle of the seventis and its still have a strong place in my heart. I have it on LP with BCR and EP with JPY and in a home made CD in my car with JPY. Just love it..
I was eight years old, this song captured my heart. I remember feeling guilty for liking such strong loud music, coming from a conservative South African community:-) But oh boy, 34 years later and this song still rocks!!!! Go jPY!!!
I was 8 years old, and this strong loud music captured my heart!!! I remember feeling guilty for liking this pop or rock, coming from a conservative white South -Africa, but boy, this tune stayed in my head now for 34 years and I rock harder now when I hear it;-)) Go JPY!!!
no one could do a cover of this song like JOHN PAUL YOUNG he might be a bit older now but he is still f@#$%^N hot but i am older too lol I LOVE HIM from the countdown days
yeah, they did have their moments. however, i think one should listen to Bilbo's version of 'Saturday Night' - the version that was recorded before BCR's hit recorded version. It's much rockier!
@nzoz1975 Bilbo Baggins never recorded the same "Saturday Night" as the Rollers. They did, however, record another song also entitled "Saturday Night" which was also recorded by The Rubettes.
@mollybella1000 : would that be an opinion based on your musical expertise that spans ..what 18years since your inception to this world...remember it's the 70's we're talking about.
hey come on this in utube YO got to SING it HAnds UP in da air wavin side to side YESTERDAY HERO OH YEA GET OUT of utube rite now bryce if yo ask ma what iam doing here so be glad bit hot in horsham were yo people from get bk to ma wernt yo da guy that use to hang with michael hucthence from northcore and all da nornternt subs in victoria take a look at ma molly TAKE A LOOK AT MA HEE IS DA NEWS FROM THE BEL ST ROCK WHAT HAPEN TO MA MATES HEAVY ROCK BAND IN THE EARLY 90S
Cool song. I discovered it while tooling around youtube and ran across the Easybeats, did a wiki on them and saw this song on the page, back to youtube and now I have another cool song to listen too, Thanks Mate!
I supply music to some retail chains... I copied this song and made it part of the play list.. Even though not legal, I find it quite amazing how some of the older or rather 40 + y/o's respond when hearing it again after years..
does anyone know who owns the rights to this song?
wenandcasbra 1 week ago
@wenandcasbra I would hazard a guess Vanda and Young as they wrote it and I'm pretty sure they have kept the rights to all their songs.

HEY EVERYBODY F U C K Y O U
did you know that the foo fighters last 3 albums were written about what i have discovered? dont believe me? read my 2 comments below to find out why. i am not lying. honest. you may have to press "see all" to find both of them. regards from moriarty tasmania.

i came up with a theory that involves the book of genesis (fig leaves) buddha (sitting under the bodhi fig tree) jesus (many sayings about figs) ross horne's book (new health revolution) and science (figs are the most important source of food for fruit eating rainforest animals). i then experimented on the figs by eating mainly dried figs (same brand) for over 6 years now and found cycles which i related to the numbers in psgs 11/12 of the book of revelations. this theory has gone everywhere.

so far i have had eliminations at days 504, 840, 1176, 1512, 1848, 2184, and expect my 7th at day 2520. today is day 2315. i have definitely found something. i am not lying. so many songs have been written about my discovery which has gone around the world..the foo fighters last 3 albums.."vertigo" by U2 (my first name is phil)..coldplays last 2 albums etc. an elimination is a day when you experience strong flu-like symptoms and feel terrible. bad stuff is washed out of your body.

Loved this song. Saw JPY in concert back in the '70's at the Eaglehawk Town Hall. He was fabulous back then. Hated his "Love is in the Air" though. Glad to hear that he's been inducted into the ARIA HOF - he deserves it. He always seemed to be more in love with fishing than with singing & being a pop star. I heard that Molly had to talk him into it. I had the album that you displayed too.....of course.

Canada has a piece of your heart. You can not only sing but you showed me , you are a strong person in respect with fellow singers in Australia. John Cave was a large part of my life and I need to thank you once again for being you and attending his funeral. It has been a few months, but reminding you , I still haven't forgotten and that is why I am posting this. Thanks 484.

This guy was betting on being able to pull the wool over the eyes of future generations but we know the we know he was nobody's hero. He was telling Ted Murly, just wait, people are going to look back at this and say that man embodied the 70's rock mentality. How do you convince your video director to catch your ugly look from 3 different angles in 1 shot and not emote in any of them. Why does his POV just plow through people. They're looking at you because you're being an asshole.

I had John's picture on my wall!!! I cut his poster out from our local newspaper in South Africa. Loved him and still do! Remember the day's when we could get prints from the newspaper and iron them on our T-shirts? What was that American TV show? It escapes me now - cheap vino will do that to ya. Um, Peter Strauss was a big player in the late show soap! Anyone remember?

@nzoz1975 Bilbo Baggins never recorded the same "Saturday Night" as the Rollers. They did, however, record another song also entitled "Saturday Night" which was also recorded by The Rubettes.
