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.

[MrShane1957]

this song sucks...big time

[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?

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!!
