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

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

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.

I came for the house wreck, and wasn't disappointed. This is so bad...no words will ever do. To think Mr. Wilson was cool-as-you-could-wanna-be in 1971, long haired hippy bearded swagger with Come Back Again, and now this drivel. I wonder, I mean, how could they keep a straight face? I sure hope they were just as confused as I am. But I did secretly like the songs.

[Ivan Jimennez]

Nice

[Paul J Buhler]

Great band and awesome song, but just how cheasy were the music videos in those early days!!

I migrated and entered Australia in March 1981 and this song was on the charts, I clearly remember this one, gives me good memories; I came from El Salvador and didn't know much english but surely this is one of my favourite songs......nostalgic memories when I was 21 years old...
