Mental As Anything - Live It Up (TOTP) reupload

I originally uploaded this in April 2008. It got 67,326 plays but the quality wasn't good.
Here's a reupload which should have come out in HD (but hasn't), I can't get it any better than this for now.

This was their one and only performance on Top Of The Pops (U.K. programme) in 1987, ironically 2 years after the single was initially released. In Australia they were a couple of singles into their 1987 Mouth To Mouth album when this song finally charted in the U.K. David Twohill is wearing his suit from the "Let's Go To Paradise" promo (a video that featured Pamela Stephenson incidentally).

A lot of the comments for the original upload were saying how good the song is with a few people asking the one hit wonder question.

Although Greedy's sentiment behind this song is quite moving they've released some great (in my view better) songs.

Their singles other people have uploaded onto youtube currently which are well worth checking out are (in order of release pretty much)

The Nips Are Getting Bigger
Egypt
Possible Theme For a Future TV Drama Series
If You Leave Me Can I Come Too?
Got Hit (not a single for some reason)
Beserk Warriors
I Didn't Mean To Be Mean
Close Again
Brain Brain
Wouldn't Try To Explain (Apocalypso b-side)
Date With Destiny
Big Wheel
He's Just No Good For You
Don't Tell Me Now
Love Me Tender
The World Seems Difficult
Baby You're Wild
