This song is very close to my heart right now. Over the last 4 years, I’ve spent a year of that away from my family. It hurts; but that’s my job. Seen the Gurus live a couple of times and they are still great. Last time was with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra at stage 88, and it was just awesome. Hoodoo Gurus plus orchestra- it really worked❤.
I got my platoon hooked on it in the desert in 90. Nothing like the Hoodoo Gurus, a bunch of Marines, and NO CHICKS. (At least that meant there were no fat chicks there). If only I could go back!
Saw them live in a pub in Kalgoorlie WA, can't remember what year it was, but one of the best pub bands ever. Only pipped by The Angels on the Gold Coast, can't remember what year it was. Mmm old timers.
It would have been very uncomfortable back then with everyone smoking back then. I do love the “Anti-smoking laws now”. This song brings back so much memories.
They’re touring right now for the 40th anniversary of “Stoneage Romeos”…played the full album plus another hour plus…check to see if there’s a show near you
@@andysmith6218 I was there man I’m telling you that shit ruins a man you need to open your eyes this isn’t like you Andy Smith see the world as it is, life in the Aus burbs in the 80s was the worst. The Gurus would side with me bub
Saw the Gurus on the undercard to Midnight Oils last concert of UK tour in London in 1986. Gurus nailed it. Then Oils came out drunk & wasted. Hopeless, couldnt hold the beat, falling over. Gurus saved the Gig. Rock on
Full of it! Oils don’t drink and get wasted moron! I saw them about 4 years ago and couldn’t believe how tight they were. They were actually better than 80’s when I saw them.
I was a 25yr old pom kid in 1990 when i arrived alone in Aus, £300 no return ticket. Lookin at deportation before i got there. On that three day bounce roond the world, i got off in sydney. Customs officer, to me, ‘have you got a criminal record?’. I drunkenly replied, ‘ i didnt know i still needed one’. Boom. She laughed n said , ‘ gwan ya pommy bastard youll have fun here..!’
Only a creepy mind thinks this video is creepy. The girl is the drummers daughter and she is cute as a button. And she can dance. Nothing creepy about it. It's good clean fun and the video has nothing to do with the words. Jeez relax everyone.
Putting a kid in a video where the song lyrics are about an orgy 😂 Of course liberals think it's a wonderful innocent idea. The OP is obviously turned on by all of it.
The song is about fucking hippy chick's back in the day then in the film clip the drummers 10 yr old daughter is dressed like a hippy and dancing like a 60's go-go dancer and you can't see how some people may find that a bit creepy?
Great song. Outrageously underappreciated band. Nostalgia overload! However I'm not sure if they had their time again they'd have a little kid dancing around to a song about an orgy, and mouthing the words 'I bet you think I'm kinky right'.
They re-opened the Bondi Icebergs Swimming Club. Members only a great night. Saw Mark, year or so ago early morning while walking my dogs. Mark was in fine form on Oz music scene.. Mark is a solid drummer for Hoodoo Gurus.
Who in tf are they lol? U do realise that with the amount of music and songs that have been put together, there are going to be many that sound similar or the same? 🙄 Name the song the Hoodoos swiped from instead of just pointing the effing finger. Americans, they're always first to steal ideas and patent them and then sue when u use your own idea.
I don’t know whether it’s just me, or if in the early 90s, the pop world had suddenly gotten sexier. The Hoodoo Gurus however - and I think I speak for everyone when I say this - are nobody’s idea of sexy people. Sex is sexy when sexy people like Madonna and Chrissy Amplett are doing it. It’s really not when Dave Faulkner is asking “I bet you think I’m kinky right?” Although “Miss Freelove ‘69” is that rare beast - a song that waxes nostalgic about how the sex was better in the 60s, whilst proving the exact opposite - it’s still an 8.
@@frenchys_prospecting Sure, but that may just be you. Watched this video growing up, and watching it again now, and all I think is that for a young girl she was a pretty cool dancer. I think what bugs some people is that she wasn't just doing some dance moves, but that she was really getting into it.
I'm curious to know the logic behind the decision to put the drummer's young daughter in this video. I would have been about the same age as her when this song came out. I wonder if this was a statement about how their youth had by then become "retro" and sanitised and turned into something that their daughters were playing at. Getting into their parents' old party clothes and playing dressups. Her dress is quite large on her. I have some vague recollection of taking it that way when I first saw it.
@@user-dj5no5qx4ewe all know better? What a joke, anyone who thinks this is sexualisation of a young girl, or playing into the hands of pedophiles, needs to get their mind out of the gutter and ask themselves if they’re an unwitting part of the problem
A song about orgies and his little daughter in the film clip 🤮. Sick. Reminds me of when I was 13 and went to my ethnic club. The children of the parents who did group sex expressed their misery and frustration in growing up in that environment.
It's the drummers daughter. She loved dancing. Music was banging in the 80s. Before everyone became an apparent kiddie fiddler it was OK to give your kids a start. Now a young fella can't get a job as a papperboy . If that paper boy grew up and had a daughter who loved to dance and take after her dad even tho she has not the words. Well. Let's all rely on your obviously sound judgement. As you obviously have the full jist of everything going down. Thank whatever God you were born otherwise who knows where we'd be.
@@cainbarker6307 curious response. On the one hand you provide new and potentially exculpatory information. If what you write here is true, then yeah, it’s not a gross pedophilia thing. Even though it’s reasonable for people to think it is, given the song’s message. But then you go on the attack, belittling a parent’s concern for a kid. That’s weird, because all normal adults want children to be safe, innocent, shielded from harmful experiences. Now that second part makes me wonder if the first part is true.
