Australia's very own Disco Stu!

[griffo117]

That's awesome !

[Slickssid12]

Sweet. You just don't see moves like that anymore!

[mrsgritoli1]

Reminds me of Hilliers place with Izzy Dye back in the 80s

[adric137]

[DaKreepa]

The socceroos should get this guy to spearhead celebrations for the green and gold army. With moves so deadly they should be outlawed!!!!

[nicopetromac]

I love it !!!!

I got to copy some of these moves.

Thanks for sharing !!

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Wherever YOU are Nick. I ADORE you... Always have LOVED this performance. Sheer GENIUS!

[WeDieYoung1083]

[mikkidjd]

[duhaussie]

Nick is still working at his hair salon. It's called Arte and is on Balaclava Road, St Kilda.

[felimon64]

'scuse me "ARE YOU BETTER THAN PINO" hahahahaha

"Can you do the SPLITZ like Pino"?

Wow - it sure took me down the memory lane....

[dozza5]

Oh my god-- this is disco gold. Nick told me about this dance contest about four years ago and I check every now and then to see if anyone's posted it. I am forever in your debt Damo-- it's better than I could have imagined in my wildest dreams.

[damo3805]

Dozza! Thanks mate. We've been trying to find Nick. If you speak to him give him my regards and thank him for this piece of retro magic. I also have the full clip on my page too!

[toonozandy]

Comedy gold Nick !!!! I fell off my chair laughing! Cheers, Andrew and Natalie

[damo3805]

You're welcome guys. Funny stuff, (but cool in 1980)

[SelfAwareness]

Thats so hetro camp.

[damo3805]

Hetro camp is the perfect way to decribe this.

[cl0ngrf3]

super gay

[cusp777]

Nicholas Deary is undeniably Australia's reigning disco champion. I have it on authority that he never planned his moves. A free styling elite.

[AsphodelFilms]

Oh god!!! Finally! Somebody found this! I think I know who you are annava78. Nobody else would have spent many a late Saturday night in the living room learning Love Attack. Apparently Nicholas Deary was taken under the tutelage of Tony Bartuccio after this. I made a friend ask Mr Bartuccio about this who confirmed it as truth.

[diseym]

thats so gay

[RETZAN]

that dance is so funny i laughed my head off.

I love his outfit! LOL not!

[annava78]

I can't believe this is finally on You Tube! My friends and I spent hours in our lounge room trying to learn this dance.

Nicholas Deary - what a man.

[damo3805]

Thanks for your comments! I'm still trying to track down Nicholas, somehow, somwhere!

[RATLOZ]

have u tried facebook?

[damo3805]

Maybe, he's in his early fifties now I'd say

[james81]

HOLY CRAP. Nicholas Deary!!!!! I had this on VHS, taped from rage a few years back, but I've lost the video. This routine still blows my mind, please post the whole thing?

[damo3805]

Will do soon mate.

[samcats]

I love this guy.

[vermilionvirago]

OH MY GOD!!! I check in every 6 months to see if anyone has put this on you tube, the original copy I taped from a replay on rage was fuzzy but I STILL play it for friends & always end up in hysterics. Please post more!!! Am over the moon to see this has been shared with the world...it's a Love Attack like no other..

[SamoaOG]

CORRECTION , NICOLAS DEARY won that XANADU DANCE COMP in 1980... LoL

[damo3805]

Very Nyce LOL actually it was a tie! so your'e right on 2 counts. It was held at Chasers disco

[SamoaOG]

1980 XANADU DANCE CONTEST , BILLBOARDS NITECLUB , MELBOURNE.... LoL NYCE dance moves LoL....

Dam be good if you had more on this vid...

Some guy from PERTH won the COMP...

[Lisasagaimartian]

Damo, you have made my day!!! My friend found Nicholas Deary many years ago on a Countdown replay and we have been busting out his moves on the finer dancefloors of Sydney ever since.....

[damo3805]

LOL Lisa! Being from Melbourne I used to go to Chaser's disco in Chapel Street quite often, where Nicholas made himself a legend on that night. So cool back then, very camp now! But damn we love it. Will put the whole clip up very soon.

[Lisasagaimartian]

Can't wait. If you have the whole Countdown episode, there is a freaky lady with a disturbingly low gusset doing a very bad job of the robot dance too.... If not, I'll get my friend to get it off video and post it. The 1980 Xanadu Dance Comp truly was a champagne episode!!!! :-)

[kguen6993]

Proudly wearing the green and gold. He's a dancing ambassador!

[damo3805]

Ha Ha !! Australians all let us rejoice!

[aristobratt]

OMG! That is Nicholas Deary. He won the competition. It was a girlfriends jumpsuit that he paired with frye boots.

[damo3805]

Do you know Nicholas?

[bigbadmedo]

does any1 know the name of the song and artist. i want to download it and use it as my ring tone :-)

[damo3805]

Love Attack by Ferara

[Barsopen1970]

man.. that was extremely SAD ,even for 1980. LMAO

even Olivia looked like she was trying not to laugh her sexy bod off !

[bigbadmedo]

Hey man Can you burn me a copy. i will do anything for it.

[damo3805]

Damn right. Smokin!

[Barsopen1970]

oh my god , i still have this on video tape !

was'nt this guy a total tool ...i remember playing this in front of a house full of people , the tears of laughter this brought, i will never forget !

wonder what he thinks these days ?

[damo3805]

Yes mate, I put the call out for him, but no reply. Yeah these days he looks like a tool but it was 1980! Piss funny to put this on with some friends after a few beers.

[bigbadmedo]

this is gold. i love it

[damo3805]

It's great to put this tape on at a party when you & your friends have had a few drinks. In 1980 he would have been THE dude. Girls would have gone crazy.

[Nouveauxromo]

I utterly love this performance to Love Attack, it is so damn camp. I used to watch this on repeat over and over when I first taped it on Rage re runs of Countdown. He is brilliant, such charisma....
