Choirboys - Run To Paradise (Official Music Video) | Reaction 

who else is an aussie pub kid who GREW UP on this song?

Aussie rock in the 80s nobody beats it NOBODY!

If you can listen to this song without tapping your feet you have no feet

It's quite interesting how Aussie rock had its own sound. Always could tell an Aussie song by the sound 🥰🥰. Good old pub scene sound. Live rock music has seen its day unfortunately, 😭💔. Hope you are holding up ok 😊

This is the first Choirboys song I have seen you do but it's about time people started to recognize Australian music

The smile on your face depicts how every Australian feels when they hear this song.

You couldn't go to a party in Australia without hearing this. This is one of the best songs ever created,I love this song

This genre is what we call ‘pub-rock’. So many rock bands from Australia started playing at local pubs, so the grunge and all that comes from the Aussie pub scene culture of locals, working class mostly, sinking some cold tinnies, getting tipsy (many times drunk 😂) after a hard days work sweating from the heat haha. Super iconic and the pub-rock sound/vibe is very common in a lot of legendary Aussie music!

OMG you so need to do The Angels - Am I ever gonna see your face again - LIVE VERSION.... classic Australian song

One of my favourite bands from the pub scene back in the 80’s. This song is about the slippery slope that is drug addiction.

Every older Aussie knows every word to this song what a banger!🔥

It's hard to imagine hearing this song for the first time. This song has been part of the Australian soundtrack for nearly 35 years and there wouldn't be many Aussies, of any age, who wouldn't know it. I know this song inside out and upside down, I've heard it many hundreds of times and probably played it close to a hundred times. You will still hear this song played every week by cover bands in pubs all across the country.

Best era for music. Best era for aussie rock, aussie pop rock. Catchy..innit.🥁🎵🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤🎶🎵🥁

Loved this song as a kid play it over and over

This song actually has a strong message! About drug abuse, back in the 80s Australia

Classic Aussie track that still stands up.

Saw these guys performing a couple of weeks ago when they were the support act to Jon Stevens. The lead singer is now 71 but can still get this song out just as good as it sounds here.

Omg this reminds me in my early young days ❤ what a group just love them ❤❤❤

An Australian rock classic from the 80’s. A karaoke favourite. There’s so many great Aussie songs you haven’t heard yet!

This was my mother's phone alarm my whole childhood. Every morning I'd just hear this song playing in her room.

The Choirboys typified the Aussie 80s 'pub rock' sound - gritty guitar and vocals, great melodies and choruses that a drunken crowd absolutely loved 😍 Long live Aussie rock!

Legendary Aussie song 🎵

These guys originated near where I grew up in the late70s 80s in Sydney. Saw them a few times at pubs along Sydney northern beaches. This particular song is about the lead singer Mark seeing a girl he fancied while working as a window dresser!! at Warringah Mall (all northern beach-ites will be familiar). She worked in Woolworths or Safeways supermarket whatever. Eventually he came up with the courage to speak to her and ask her out. She just told him to piss off. We saw them a couple of years ago at Cremorne (yes they are still around) where he told that story. They still sounded as good as ever and one of the guys' 80 year old mother was there right up the front!

Saw them live for the first time a month ago and absolutely loved them

This classic Aussie hit could be just the right song for summer in America 👍

This song always puts me in a good mood 🙂

This is one of those songs that gets picked up by each new generation in Australia.... Usually put on by some crusty like myself and the youngens f@cken love it. ..a bit like 'Am I Ever gonna see your face again'. Put them on in a pub or just a gathering & watch them LOVE it 😁 🤘🤘🇦🇺

Thank you for showcasing this Australian masterpiece. May I suggest a personal Australian favourite... *Moving Pictures - What About Me* It's a song that holds a great deal of meaning for me.

Endless great music was normal, today it is the exception.

This is classic Aussie pub rock, it gets everyone of their arses and up dancing

And that’s a pub song. Iconic.👍🇦🇺

Check out their tour lists. Bands like midnight oil, cold chisel, inxs, choir boys, noise works and all the rest were constantly on pub tours every night for months!

I was born in ‘83 and therefore started going to pubs with friends on nights where they rotated DJs with cover bands in the early 2000s. This song has always been one of our favourites to sing along to… it’s just an absolute belter.

welcome to the 80's mate we old folk love our music

What an awesome 80s pub rock anthem.

One of the most popular songs at the pub here

This song is an Australian anthem. Love it

One of my seminal bands as a youth. I'm nearly deaf in my right ear from standing too close to the speakers at their concerts. Great live band.

Pub Rock has a certain sound to it that is distinctly Australian.

Classic 80's hit. Most Aussies would pick it straight away. It was their biggest hit. They still appear now and then.

G’Day, Oh what memories! I remember seeing these guy’s live along with some other awesome Ozzie rock legends when I was 16 years old. I’m 56 years now and would give anything to go back to my youth and do it all again😅 Cheers Kev

Another great Aussie band!!!!

Such a classic song, many nights out over the years singing along to this one haha 🎶🎤

I remember Run to paradise, by the Choir Boys in the last 80s era

I'll be seeing them in couple of weeks in Sydney.

Always great to see a reaction from someone to a song they have never heard before but which has almost become stale to those that know it. These are songs that we have come to take for granted over the years and moved on from, then you come along with a whole fresh perspective and it makes me realise what great music we were privileged to grow up with, and makes me sad that this style of music has had it's day.

A proper pub banger. When it drops at 10pm the patrons go WILDDDDDDDDD

This was voted number pub rock song for years and sung at many a karaoke night.just a great catchy song

Classic Aussie rock song🤘. You still hear in pubs and on classic rock radio. And it gets covered a lot by other bands.

💕this song just brings JOY 🤩🙂💕

This is so running wild and free and having a blast in summertime 80’s Australia. Oh if only we could go back

This song takes me back to my Year 6 excursion and these boys did a talent show to this song and we all loved it... Best song!! 🇦🇺💙🙏

Awww love this song, thanks for your appreciation of our Aussie artists mate, great reaction 👍👍☺️

Knew you'd 💙 this one 💯🎶

G'day mate, love this song, love the energy and always love your reactions. I can't wait for the day someone introduces you to boom crash opera. If I knew how to send a link I'd do it but I'm a bit of an old fart so I'll have to hope that one of tsr family comes through for us all.

These guy were are awesome live, couldn't even count the amount of times I saw them! Love these guys! This is the ultimate drunk sing-along song 😂😂😂

Great band to watch live, saw them when they opened for Noiseworks a few years back and they were still great. Boys Will Be Boys is another classic from them.

This song should probably be Australia's national anthem.

Hi from Queensland Australia, I grew up listening to Choirboys 🙂

We call this Aussie Pub Rock… same with Chisel.

Saw these guys live in the late 80s in their prime.

Great band, great song! Always felt that this song was perfect for a big movie soundtrack.

Ahh, the soundtrack of my high school days...

Rediscovering Aussie music through you has been a daily joy for the past few months bro. Thank you!

I wish I could hear Choir boys for the first time again, magical!

Omg the memories.

That was a blast from the past. I had the vinyl single of that song back in the day, maybe about 1987 from memory? Was always one of my favourite songs...

Ah the memories. Good times 🇦🇺 🍺

Always made me hit the dance floor as soon as I heard this in the pub

Love this song, had many a night out singing along badly lol.

Perfect 80s rock. Gets me every time

Pub rock! It's in our DNA. Maybe that's why we Aussies love those gravelly voices - being weaned on pub rock. I was 13 in 1983. Going to see amazing bands on the Gold Coast every week at Bombay Rock and the Playroom and later the Patch. On an average bill any night would be what we now realise were all legendary artists. That shapes who you are. We were so spoilt!

G'day Mate. Glad you appreciate these guys. You might call it "core rock", we call it "pub rock". These bands were the product of relentless gigs in suburban pubs, beer barns, workingmans' clubs, and football clubs. Gigging 5 or 6 nights a week. Often not taking the stage until after 11pm and trying to win over an audience that had been drinking since 6. Most of these pub rock bands had multiple, multiple attempts to crack the US market, and America rejected them. (The Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, the list goes on. And on. And on.....) Now, decades later, we get good people like yourself telling us how good our own music is.

You can just pick your favourite depending on your mood, that's what I do ,I love them all, love you too.

Thanks Nick 😊 loved seeing your reaction to choirboys, as I said in our messages we have a few pub rock anthems, this song, John farnham your the voice, Jimmy Barnes khe sanh and the next one you need to do The Horses Song by Daryl Braithwaite . Mason sends a big high five ✋️ and hug xxx lots of love and friendship 💖

🔥🔥

This is one of those songs that will always get played at a pub & every person in there will break out the air guitar & sing at the top of their voices!

Classic Aussie song from 1987! Boys will be Boys is another well known song of Noiseworks!

The Aussie rock scene of the 80s was phenomenal, so many great songs from so many great artists

I get the feeling you genuinely love it. Good luck to you mate

Boys Will Be Boys is another great one of theirs

"Dancing in the Storm" by Boom Crash Opera. Share it or not, brilliant song! Listen to it! It's worth the time!

Great aussie band ✌😎

I always get goose bumps with this song everytime. And always yell out the Baby, Jenny, Mumma and Johnny bits and clap with the drum beats. “OPEN YOUR EYES UP”

My favourite song!!!!!!!!!! Don't think too deeply about the lyrics either. Just enjoy the song!

Oh Nick we have to get your sister and you over to Australia ,your so lovable and likeable and your sister !!! Guy would luv you !!

Choir Boys were my 1st into in to Australian music when I got here in 86. Was like oh yes bring it on

OMG = Oh My Googies What a great song

Aussie Pub rock back in the 70’s and early 80’s ruled the Choirboys live awesome Divinals ColdChisel AC/DC the Angels Diesel Hush Barnesy we had the best life back then

Love your enthusiasm, also, what a beast of a song

my favourite song through pretty much all of my teen years. - actually pretty cool to see someone from a different culture experience it for the first time. For me - the theme song of my youth

Every Australian knows this song. Classic.

Classic haven't heard this song since I was 21 at the Pub in Semaphore.

Used to hang out with them back in the day..mainly Ian and Brad..good times

When i first heard choirboys i was drawn to how tight they were. Still impressed to this day

Takes me back to a big night out in Wollongong, ~1986, Fairymeadow, then North Gong pubs.

Still a favorite in Aussie pubs today. You'll nearly always have a massive sing a long

We have such great music talent that never leaves our shores

Another of our Aussie bands, huge song in the pubs even now

Got my tickets here in Bundaberg Qld to a concert with Choirboys, Jon Stevens ( Noiseworks), Jimmy Barnes, His brother Swanee, Ian Moss and a few other lesser acts in Oct. Cannot bloody wait.....
