Mental As Anything - Egypt (1980)

Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1980:

Mental As Anything's promo-video for the single 'Egypt' (January, 1980) taken from the 1979 album 'Get Wet'.

Note: This is the oldest clip I have in my collection. I recorded it back in December 1989 on a 'rage' Saturday night special on Mental As Anything. The original soundtrack is due, hence the reason I merged the video with the CD track.

Nzoz. You are the ketchup on the fries. You add taste to "it".

[nzoz1980]

ha ha, thanx... a bit of Donnie Sutherland and Lee Simon is also a help to these channels!

[paolorossifan2006]

they seriously need to play this more often on Gold FM, Triple M and Vega! i'm surprised that i haven't heard this on radio. this is just as good as their bigger hits

[chemistryset1]

awesome, I'd seen a different version of this clip years ago, this one is better - hugely underrated Aussie band, people remember them for their (excellent) poppy hits, but they experimented musically and explored all kinds of shit whilst retaining their rock n' roll roots and somehow representing something unique to both Aussie and Kiwi music - WORD.

[MsTROYHARRIS]

Egypt I'm'a gonna walk on your front SHORES!

[deficateonyamate]

this is MENTAL AS ANYTHING!

[paddlepop77]

Fucking CLASSIC!

[duncankimball]

Classic! The unashamed dagginess of their clips was always one of their most endearing features - and OMG Pete O'D. looks abobut fourteen in this!!
