Hoodoo Gurus - My Girl (1983)

Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1983:

Hoodoo Gurus' promo-video for the hit single 'My Girl' (October, 1983), taken from the 1983 album 'Stoneage Romeos'.

Note: This clip stars a racing dog that was owned by Donnie Sutherland. My uncle was a manager of the pub this clip was shot at (please identify the pub) and was there to watch the band shoot the clip. Apparently, the old punters seen in this clip went mad when they found out the drinks were not for free.

Shit been a while since I have seen the front bar of a pub look like the one in this clip. They are all been renovated and made all trendy these days, not a bad thing I guess although I do miss the feel of an old school public bar now and then. Great song by the Hoodoos to btw :). I could of sworn this song was later than 83 though.... guess not. :)

They don't make music videos like this anymore.

and then they take a left turn into Cardigan St :)

And the early shot of the two blokes walking the greyhounds looks to be in Bellevue St looking back towards the flats in St John's Rd

gotta love google maps street view :)

Great clip. It was certainly filmed in and around Harold Park in Sydney, few shots of the railway overpass in there. The pub looks suspiciously like the Excelsior in Bridge Rd not too far by.
