One of the best covers of this song around.......these dudes sounded good back in the day, shame they didn't go much further and great to hear them again on Youtube!
A nice cover version. I've added this to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "the Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" Feel free to join in.
I remember stealing my friends mum's alc and the two of us down the beach, drinking it, and then tryna be Purest Form on the Beach...ahahahahaha...Oh the dayz
@burd1234, thanks. I was referring to PF's arrangment / version of the song. Did you know that Split Enz paid respect to PF at one of their comeback concerts.
lol omg i forgot about this group.. tragic but funny to reminise on how many guys actually dressed like that back in the day haha i loved there version of 'o holy night' though... think it was put out on casette single - casingle lol awww bring back the 90s !!!
@burd1234 No the song is great... And maybe the 90's was unsure of things but would you rather your children have these guys as role models or other nz artists out there today doing bad impersonations pf Americans?
Daym this does bring back memories! Couldn't stop laughin 2 myself watchin this, I thought these guys were the baddezt when I was 3rd form hahaha. Was hardout in2 the one with the bandana thing, Ben is it?? Even seen them at Rainbowz End once, fukn crakupz now. Man I wonda what they're up2 these dayz hahahaha
@pureraein I agree, I was a big fan an had some fun innocent times back when Purest
Form was out - mean memories! Wish the younger generations now grew up on the R n B 90z hits like we did where it was all a positive vibe and all in good fun. Rubbish filling their minds now :(
@herse88 Why put down a positive thing in the poly heritage? Do you prefer the sound mixing with computer generated voice inhancements now? So where is your music video?
Good on you!! they were! with the rubbish that is out there today promoting false friendships through gansta music and rap music...we need more like this.
@kamron80 - moron..Neil Finn gave full permission for Purest Form to cover this track...and they aint bad MF's nor sensitive new age guys ya freak! If you pull your head outta ya skin you will realise this clip was taken back in the early to mid 90's fool hence the wardrobe and choreography
Hey Kamron80 why dont you quit being a little hater and go find neil finns version..go ask neil if he's pissed off..he wouldve overlooked the cover of his song. dickhead.
what a bunch of homos! are they bad motherf#*ker homies or sensitive new age guys, i cried from laughter, Neil Finn would be pissed off his song was covered this way!!!
Fk what pretty boys lol!! Yo.! The chicks must've loved these dudes man.. they did a great version of Split Enz/anotha great Kiwi band man..! Good song man. I rememba this in '95.
OMG Yes I rememba Semi MCs um i fink they became like AKA Brown - real old skool mix dat I had on my "tape" hee hee choiz song .... "trust me, you can trust me, you can trust me with your love baby....."YIAHAHA!!!!
Bwaahaaaa! Hugh Wrights Origin suits!! I remember da days! These guys were actually it at the time! Eye gand balivid! Malo boys...except for that Pa'u Tim!
I like this version better,the original was one of the Split Enz worst songs.....These guys take me back to the 90s,theyre the island version of BoyzIIMen,remember when I use to get a fade at Pule's up at Grey Lynn by Keli...Ahhh..the good ol days.Malo boyz!
hahahaha OH Shhhhht I remember this jam in my good ol Penrose High Days yeeeyah One Tree Hill Now. Everyone was pretty much doin the accapella thang if they werent G Funkin It HAHAHA. NICE ONE. Hey do you have any Semi MCs?
I used to love these guys - have all 4 singles on CD single) - I had the biggest crush on lead singer Ben, he was HOT! Does anyone know what happened to them? Why wasn't there album released - such a shame!
Man Memories hehe we have to remember back then RNB in NZ was a no go so good on you fella's for doing your thing. Trivia did you know members of purest form were also members of Jamoa Jam
