Cassandra - Sherbet

[ozzietube61]

@steeplepossum39

yes Cassandra was the Goddess of prophecy but the only prophecy she got right was one of ruin so she was downcast.

[clygas01]

gotta luv that hair

[steeplepossum39]

I first heared this song in 1974 and had never heard the name Cassandra before and I fell in love with the name and named my only child Cassandra,also the song is very special to me.Apparently Cassandra means the Greek Goddess of prophecy.

[cass3765]

I was 8 when this song came out, all my girlfriends had a crush on daryl, I just loved the song because my is cassandra and there wernt many of us n my name was never mentioned on shows like romper room! It was a blast to have a song titled Cassandra, n it was a nice song anyways

[leglessinoz]

A guy I went to school with had a younger sister named Cassandra (years before the song came out). I just recall she was stunning (at least I thought so) and I did have a bit of a crush on her. Saw them perform this and other stuff live in 1973. Cassandra where are you now?

[64g15csr]

wow 1973 and its in colour

[LaniMirNess]

My sister was named after this song, only cause my dad knows garth tho but i wish i was named after it, :)

[TheBubalou]

@LaniMirNess My Ma named me after this song. I hated my name for years haha! Grew on me. My Ma passed away this year. I now watch this & I smile, cry & laugh. Before I was born, Ma was a singer & guitarist in a band. I am so happy to be born in the 70's. RIP Pamela 10/01/1958 - 04/01/12011

[1856gazoo]

One of their best tracks...5 stars

[anitashelby]

Absolutely Love This One! 5*s Thankyou Gaz for sharing...:))

[bretteden]

Great post of my favorite Sherbet track! Seem to remember that Daryl loved the song but hated the production choice of putting phaser over the strings!

[ralcock]

a wonderful track!

[Skyhooks1975]

"Cassandra" was the single from Sherbet's "On With The Show" album released in 1973.

[mssusan1961]

I saw them in concert at Festival Hall in Briz about '76 or '77.I would have been 15 or 16. It was awesome. What other Oz bands do you like?

[antares11x]

Thanks sunset for sharing!!

[mssusan1961]

You know they really had the whole package. Such a songwriting talent with Garth Porter and Clive Shakespeare. Alan was an exceptional drummer also. And the satin!

[anitashelby]

Absolutely Love This Song by Sherbet ! Pure Magic ! 5*s Thankyou sunsets...:))

[mssusan1961]

Hey didn't 'Cassandra' get released before '75? I thought it might have been around '73.

[blondiebabs]

nice one  hunnixxbabs

[mssusan1961]

Yeah and we all thought Sherbet were so 'goody goody' and skyhooks were the 'naughty' ones! Notice the dude goes to get a scotch, the funny ciggies don't get used. What a waste. lol. Yeah I waz wondering about 'Cassandra', she's no Lara Bingle thats for sure!!! he he

[sunsets1977]

5 ***** "You got the magic " Cassandra

[mssusan1961]

Awesome song , still lurve sherbet....but this vid is a scream!! Anyone notice the joints on the table?

[cassandra130]

my mum*

[cassandra130]

my loved this song coz it is my name she used to listern it with me when i was 9 the year she died:'(

[machiavelli99]

1973 NOT 1975

[CANARVONKID]

Garth Porter, the keyboard player, uses a mellotron on this track.

Still sounds great, after all these years!

Man these guys had so many great and memorable songs!

[lushmud]

Love it Love it Love it....

A shag song!

Beautiful lyrics......Daryl musta had a great nite that time!

She came to me with dreams and touched me with her love!!! hahaha

You make the stars shine!! - You got the magic...!

[JoeElliot1994]

OMG!!!! This is MY name!!! I feel so special!!!

[cassandra130]

same here(Cassandra)!!

[anitashelby]

What a Great Song!!! 5*s Sherbet is one of my all time favorite groups from Australia...Thanks Anita

[lake40]

this song was released in 1973 there first top ten hit

[missjeanbrody]

When I was 12 a girl I knew loved Sherbet. Anyone who said they didn't like them she would attack. Fortunately it didn't scar my memories of them.

[louisemayb]

Ha ha ha!! I was just telling a similar story on facebook to one of the girls who knocked the Twisties out of my hand in the tuckshop line for saying I liked the Bay City Rollers more than Sherbet!! lol 'o)

In my defense!! I DID totally think Sherbet were brilliant - loved Garth - but I was totally NUTS on the Bay City Rollers!

[stepanekfan]

"you make the stars shine thru the darkest night....". One of my favorite all time love songs by anybody, an Aussie pop classic, and Sherbet's finest moment. Two great live versions, 1973 and the Reunion performance, on the Sherbet Live DVD.

[Cassie2Levine7]

my name is cassandra AND I FRICKIN LOVE THIS SONG XD

[elofan567]

A one hit wonder in england which is a shame cos they were better than that.

[FesterFumble]

Check the action zoom in on shades man at 2:50!

Made me laugh out loud

My mum had a set of those wine glasses too..didn't everyone's in the seventies.

The chicks look more Sharpie than Sherbert though!

[dragster58]

Part of my high school daze!!! :)

[wangdangdoddle]

Mark Holden type, stoned in chick's bedroom hallucinates poster girls are real!

By time he pours the visions a drink,and adds ice, the Cassandra's have gone!

Damn those ready rolled Buddah Stick joints!He cannot stay mad with the drugs forever!

So he flares up another scoob, slips on his shades, and confronts the industrial military complex...luckily...the drugs work their magic and he is transported to the lovely landscape where the spirit of Cassandra is!

What's not to like?

[webuzzyoung]

fab song..terrible film clip..

I seem to remember this song before '75..

although my memory is not what it used to be..

great afro on that chick!!

[vanjane]

Looks like an episode from number 96! I guess back then they were experimenting with videos as it was all so new. Love the song but the video is a bit dodgy.

[chookfeather]

Bizare film clip ? I dont remember it and the "Cassandra" in it looks like Kings Cross tranny

[mignonhenne]

is it red symons ?

[antics876]

I was named after this song. I've always thought it was pretty dodgy, but actually it's pretty ok.

[astapic]

I think Cassandra is a pretty cool name,better than some of the names parents give there kids nowdays.

[zatopecara]

Bizarre clip - no Sherbet in sight. Fantastic song - I named my daughter after this song.

[machiavelli99]

It was 1973 not 1975.

[fasterbludger]

didnt even know there was a clip...bought this back in the day.

[kryckeestrooff]

One of Sherbet's best hits, amazing someone still has this clip.

[sherbetgirl]

He he, tragic film clip, but fantastic band. Thanks

[greekchikinaustralia]

what's with the joints? were thay alllowed to show that back then?
