Does anyone see a slight resemblance between Ross Wilson and Adam Hills?

[nzoz1981]

@getevilnic lol, good observation!

[13101988andoni]

Happy birthday, song!!!!! (in wich month did it actually came out?,december,january,February­?)

[nzoz1981]

@13101988andoni i wrote out a description - read it

[13101988andoni]

@nzoz1981 are you always so charming? ....

[nzoz1981]

@13101988andoni yeah, i am :)

[ultrachasersfan]

I'm a young 20 year old bloke, and todays music, movies, culture are a complete joke and waste of time. Looking just at the music, '81 must of been some rocking times.

[SKOTP69]

1981, when Australia was still fully safe, secure, happy, brilliant, confident...and Australian! Let's get back to that!!!

[80sOldSkool]

@getevilnic Which comment of mine are you replying to? Not really sure what you mean?

[getevilnic]

@80sOldSkool Nasty, much?

[80sOldSkool]

"Gonna write you a letter, gonna mail it today"..... If McCusker was writing that today, it would have to say "Gonna type you an email, gonna hit send straight away"

[80sOldSkool]

@ultrachasersfan Ultimatley you are 100% correct!! Luckily you have you tube to look back what you missed out. Now, when I was a kid........... Well, we didn't want to listen to anything older then because the new music was the BUSINESS!!

[80sOldSkool]

Back in the early 80s' my Dad used to own a small Sony recording cassette player the same as Ross is holding up to his ear towards the end of this video. It was a heavy beast of a thing, and back those days wasn't actually called a "Walkman". It was bigger than a "brick" mobile phone & had a tinny little speaker on it, ran on 4 x AA batteries (and no doubt cost a small fortune!)

[80sOldSkool]

@getevilnic Certainly not in personality. Ross Wilson doesn't have "look at me" tickets on himself.

[Stealthkeys77]

Hearing this makes me want to embrace "yobbo culture". So put down your ipods, put on some stubby shorts, go get a slab of VB and spend 1 day on the balcony at Sydney Harbour getting pissed off your head while your mates cook snags on the barbie and organise hookers for a "night to remember" .... Waiting for the Countdown ..... In the summer of 81" !!!!!!!!!

First ever cassette in my house was Chemistry, Didn't get a tape player till Xmas 1982. Had to listen at my neighbours place (P.s they also had the only phone in my street).

[13101988andoni]

@nzoz1981 Well the "yeah" instead of a "Yes" explains a lot about you already...such a shame someone that has such intertesting videos is so cold and rude....i never understood the behavior of creatures like you...
