Except for Dave Faulkner, this is a completely different lineup from when I first got into the band. So who's attached to those awesome boots?

[nzoz1982]

drummer james baker lasted til 84, so you're not exactly right

[nzoz1982]

I wish I was in early eighties Australia, period. The assert the country still has its charms and quirks, everywhere else bar Sydney.

[NotSoCurrentStuff]

Wow, they look like they're having fun, almost to much fun. I mean that in a good kinda "Aww...man I wish I was in that video" way.

[jaymes calabria]

love this shit

[David Lynn]

Crowded House style clothes, nerd punk island music with rag dolls bouncing around.

[lighthauskeeper]

It was a lot of fun....

[DaveThomasRocks]

I remember this version from the Jukebox in Da Da' records. Never seen the clip. Does anyone know anybody in it?

[DaveThomasRocks]

Indeed. Hence why I was looking at it the clip. See ya Satdy.

[stratman21]

As a matter of fact- yes. And we are doing this song this Saturday 9-3-13 together in a 24 odd year later re union gig! Doubt he'll be there this time. Dave from Mod Squad?

[DaveThomasRocks]

Tora Tora?

[Lisa Lanquist]

still love this music after all these years. Saw them in San Francisco and they gave me their play list and drum sticks.... back in 1988, i think.

Still have them!!

[stratman21]

I played in a band that covered this song 88-91ish in Perth WA. One night Dave Faulkner was at our gig, he refused to get up with us (thinking we wanted to play whats my scene) and when we started this song he walked up to the stage, got up and sung the whole thing with us. We used to love doing it- great guy, great band
