  • great memories hey Sciffo - what a fun/funky clip - godbless David McC & The Triffids. Thanks nzoz - where do you live have to shout u a beer one day!!!

  • no worries and thanx mate!

  • What was that?

  • What was what? Be specific about what you're making an inquiry about.

  • That was (IMO) one of the best Australian Indie singles of all time (Hot Records, Cat. No. "HOT 707") by a truly great (& very) Australian band, The Triffids. This song defines the term "bittersweet" for me & is joyous, rightous experience for me every time I hear it. To nzoz1984, thanks for posting this & all the other great stuff as well.

  • No worries.. ;)

  • This has to be one of the greatest songs ever written, and it never even ended up on a triffids album!

    I reckon the Arcade Fire would do a ripping cover of this

  • Not only did they make beautiful songs but I love these clips of theirs with images of everyday life.

see all

  • Oh no, what happened ... repost please!!!!!!!!

  • @slimstersquad No worries. 

  • @HeadlandRoad I didn't mean to use the adjective in any derogatory way. I mean it positively. Where I live, nobody knows who the Triffids are, especially anyone born after 1987.

  • @slimstersquad "little" bands? In what sense?

  • yeah this video played all the way through few months ago - its been clipped

  • is it just me or is someone fooling around with 'snippets'?!?! What's the use of uploading a song at all, if it don't last for 40 seconds... where's the sense in this...?

  • w.t.f?

    i had this in my favourites for ages....and it was the full song.

    who snipped it?

    not happy jan ;(

  • If it can't be said in 41 seconds it's not worth saying. I especially like the way they build up to an unresolved climax but then leave us wanting more.

  • @elhornet i;m having the same problem

  • this is only showing as 41 seconds long. is it me or the clip?
