I was a 21 year old Canadian living in the " Great Southern Land " back in the mid 80's. I would give the next 10 years of my life for 5 previous years of my Aussie past. I loved the country and the people. 😊❤
Thanks mate. Its still a great place. I ended up losing a few good mates who went to Canada and never came back so I guess Canada has something going for it as well. 👍
This is legitimately one of the greatest songs ever written. The lyrics invoke youth and the lusty loss of innocence. Eric's guitar tone and solo's are absolute perfection and Ross crafted this entire song brilliantly. His vocals perfectly fit the lusty, youthful excitement the song's lyrics and overall feel portray. The fact it was filmed at Maroubra Beach, a beach I am familiar with, makes it even cooler. I listen to this song on repeat for hours sometimes. It's a classic among classics. Like I said, one of the greatest songs ever written - certainly one of the best Aussie songs.
Simple fact is that this is one of the top 3 Aussie songs ever! It is as applicable today as it was 40 years ago. Every guys dream then as it is today. One big factor is that Australia is not the same today. Being a teenager in Frankston in the early 1960s was really different, as the town changed, people grew up and moved elsewhere within the Bayside area, Interstate and even over seas. Rolling into the 1970s through to the early 1980s as an adult was a whole different experience. Music like this allows everyone from that Timezone to drift back and reminisce about the old days good and yes no so good, which is life. just dwell on the good things as life is far too short and enjoy. Should be in your early 20s and reading this, it’s a guarantee you shall look back in time, just like us older guys and gals and say, if only and it’s ok if you don’t believe it right now. Just enjoy it while you can. The only advise I shall give you is always love your Mum and respect your Dad, and look after your own family as best you can.
Actually I'm severely deaf, and I like it! If you've got good hearing aids or headphones it's great! So those 98 people that disliked it (now 174) are just idiots!
@@demun6065 Oh yes it sure is. The lead singer is Ross Wilson. He fronted Mondo Rock & before that, Daddy Cool. Quite a catalogue of great songs they created.
I was only 16, and she was 17. She asked the dumbest bloke in the classroom for "help" with her homework after school. Not being the sharpest tool in the shed, I was pondering all day why she wanted me to help her with her homework. Needless to say, I ended up helping her as regularly as I could once I discovered what was involved. I was a good student :D
Timeless track. 1985 I had my 1st girlfriend, went to my 1st beach parties, hanging at the surf club & was even getting down on the sand. A very good summer !
I was in Sydney in the mid to late 80s when I first heard this song on the radio. Still brings back strong memories. Love this song and State of the Heart. Such unique, relaxing songs. Love Mondo Rock. 🧡🙂
I must have been aware as it went straight into the 'don't play in front of Mum' category. It subsequently went into the 'don't play in front of the kids', but they found it anyway.
I remember how risqué this song was the first time I heard it and I still love it. You guys were brilliant and I miss songs like you made. Thank you all so very much for being a part of my youth and take care please, Mate
I was 30 ... playing 5 nights a week in a covers band at the time in many of the same pubs Ross was working!!! What a frikking magnificent scene ... before pokies just blew the bottom out of live rock!! Literally every corner pub had bands 4-7 nights a week ... no "nightclubs" no "pokies" ...just live music!! The only DJ's that "played" were the ones that put the music on between sets or bands!!!
Loved this song for the way it accentuates the melodic minor phrasing. Also brings back fond memories of when I would catch the 396 to Maroubra beach back in the 80s, and old Holden Sandmans would bellow out this track. The soundtrack to our lives. Our Wonder Years!
I know it's Maroubra beach but every time I see the building behind it, (where the car is) it reminds of Port Kembla beach. South of Wollongong. The building with the yellow wall there is the kiosk. One side faces the beach, the other side faces Port Kembla pool.
Still reckon Ross' work in Mondo was more iconic Aussie than Eagle Rock could ever be. Maybe its my age. I was born in 74. But this. Cool World. State of the Heart... they touched on my teenage desires and life much greater than the others even though dropping your strides on the dancing floor to Eagle Rock was still a thing!
Every time I see that car drive away it takes the 1980's with it. And with it a memory of a girl with a beautiful smile on a playground swing in a drive in as the sun set. Funny what stays with us as time passes
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BANDS FROM THE 80s AND THR CURRENT STUFF IS VERY SIMPLE THE 80s BANDS MUSIC LIVES ON EVEN AFTER 30 YEARS ITS TIMELESS JUST LIKE THIS SONG .THE CURRENT STUFF HAS NO FEEL OR SOUL AND THEY CANT PLAY INSTRUMENTS .
So true my friend. The bands and songs from this era are simply immortal. The 90s also produced some great stuff, but I simply cannot go past the 80s for my pure pleasure. Had the greatest experience in seeing Icehouse life a couple of years back. The crowd was very mixed, but nonetheless, they rocked the house down
I think this is the best song Australia has produced. Perfect in every way. You can walk around the film site at Maroubra and feel the song off in the distance, lingering in our memories
It’s still not quite as crowded as the other beaches of the eastern suburbs. The Parking’s still free. Those concrete steps in clip are still there, as is the green headland to the south, thankfully. The lifesaving club’s been developed but Seals club has really only had a coat of paint ( and done up a little inside) but lots of bits of the seventies and eighties still there. Now my son has met with his friends down on that sand, on party nights at the end of school….
I've been down Maroubra beach these past few months - it's still an open, exposed sandy beach with some fair to decent waves. The steps and concrete promenade are still there, as is the surf life saver buildings. And a nice Cafe on the beachfront too.
I was 23 when this came out and madly in love for the first time in my life. This song brings back so many memories of him, and of 9 months of happiness. He broke my heart and it took a while to get over. Still reminds me of you always Peter.
last few times i seen him was when he showed up pissed at some ross hannaford (daddy kool) dianas kiss shows and done a few un announced vocals lol, that was back in the 90s though, im pretty sure ross hannaford has passed since then
I hate to be a nitpicker, but this song was released in November 1983, not 1984. It came out just as I was finishing senior at school at the end of 1983 and thus the opening lyrics have always resonated with me.
@@racerxfile you f*&^ing what? a coupe of days ago? (minus three years) Listen to the album. Summer of 81, Tied up in knots, Chemistry..... Jesus Man, where you been?
Just thinking. An Australian Beach, people here for maybe 60,000 years. This song has been played a million times. It’s unique and original every time. Humanity is great. Let’s respect that.
I live in the USA and obsessed with 80s music too, but never ever heard of this one before until May of 2022 when I discovered it by accident. I guess it was only played exclusively in Australia.
Takes me back to 84 kiwi boy turning up to the fantastic sights of Sydney for the first time to have my 21st birthday,,,,, geez that went quick they said it would
I had the chance to Email Ross a few years back - helped me get a copy of one of their CD's that was stolen from me back in the 90's. This song is a pure classic, probably one of the best Aussie rock songs of all time. I guess he's retired now but I would love to shake his hand. Thanks man!
How come I know most all pop radio songs of the 1980's, all I did and lived was music. It's amazing in hindsight, all the amazing eighties music that perhaps was popular in one country and unknown in another, "the universal language" ain't it my .music mates ;-)
Memories of me, 14! my older sister 16 chasing boys and drinking at Bribie Island Queensland. Summers…. I miss you sis RIP Phillipa. Thank you for such fun memories. X
This is one of those songs that capture a feeling.. I was born in '85 ...I'm 34 now... and plan to be listening to this until after I'm 85.. Mondo Fkn Rock !🤘
I saw mondo rock play live in Southport Qld in 1982. It’s a long time ago but I can still remember how tight and fresh their sound was- they nailed it.
The 80s in Australia...what a great era.
We almost made it...
ファック イェア
I was 20.
Now I'm 55.
where did it go?
It's still deep in my heart.
One of the very many greats.
i too reminisce of those great times
i'm not crying, you're crying
Ditto - 55 also and fond memories of Mondo Rocks classic era of brilliant songs - Aussie greats
We were living in the dream and didn’t even know it. Now the 80s is the future, one day to return.
We are living in a very different country to the one who produced this
I was a 21 year old Canadian living in the " Great Southern Land " back in the mid 80's. I would give the next 10 years of my life for 5 previous years of my Aussie past. I loved the country and the people. 😊❤
Come back. Despite what some say, it is still wonderful!
Loved it then love it now ❤
Thanks mate. Its still a great place. I ended up losing a few good mates who went to Canada and never came back so I guess Canada has something going for it as well. 👍
Best of both world's. Love from Australia
Thanks Mate 🙂

I was whistling this tune for years before I realised. Just the "Come said the Boy" bit.
God growing up in Australia in the 70s and 80s was brilliant, and this is so perfectly evocative of that time.

53 year old scouser. Only been here 15 yrs. Soon as I got here,, started to here some brilliant tunes..older tunes.. absolutely class , brilliant.🙌🙌💙
Australians were great innovators in music of so many genres
Uncle Johnson totally agree, what’s happened to Aus rock now in 2019?
Whar
Totally fucked Aussie music is now
We still are fucker
Uncle Johnson yes indeed!
Still a pretty fresh sound even in 2020.
Yeah the bra
Nothing new under the sun cuz
Definitely still as good as the first time played.
Damn!
I was thinking the same.
With you mare.👏👏👌👍
I still remember eating fish n chips at the beach in the 1980s and hearing this music... This song is a time machine.
yes back when fish n chips were wrapped up in newspaper
gelato at bondi 10c scallops and misspent youth
Gary K me to ... great memories ...I was young and silly once...
Time flies...kids of our own now :)
Sexy on the beach after Skateland for me in the 80’s. Never forget that feeling in time or this Song
Almost 40 years ago this song
was first released.
I've probably listened to it
at least 1,000 plus times.
OH SHIT YEAH MARK .... you an me both ... cheers ...
The 98 people that disliked it are deaf.

1 year is nothing . Tell you what I won't disclose the youngest guy I've been with and I'm 48b
It is when your that age. My first I was 15 and she was 17. She was a woman and I was a boy
Still better than the music nowdays.
You got to wonder how we went backwards in music.
Thank God for the 70, 80 and early 90 music
There is something truly immortal about this song - the coming of age!!
Timeless track. 1985 I had my 1st girlfriend, went to my 1st beach parties, hanging at the surf club & was even getting down on the sand. A very good summer !
In 85 I was a kid in a NSW country town boarding school playing Dungeons & Dragons & Rugby in our spare time. Good times!
Similar memories. Crazy how a song brings it all flooding back 😊
7th Form, A Prefect, First serious girlfriend and river parties, this song was always on the radio. Best years.
I was in Sydney in the mid to late 80s when I first heard this song on the radio. Still brings back strong memories. Love this song and State of the Heart. Such unique, relaxing songs. Love Mondo Rock. 🧡🙂
Same
Hard to believe this song is forty years old 😢
Great song.. so many memories! I miss this Australia!!
I was about 14 years old when this song was released. I loved it but only now realise how sexy the lyrics were. Those were such innocent days.
I was 12 and had no idea. We weren't so "educated" back then.
I was -10
I must have been aware as it went straight into the 'don't play in front of Mum' category. It subsequently went into the 'don't play in front of the kids', but they found it anyway.
MONDO ROCK - my final year of high school 1984 - good music
My final year at high school as well
@@Rosszac Same - Bathurst High. Memories.....
were you 17 then?
I had just turned 17 too but remained a virgin for many years to come :p Eric McCusker is such an underated song-writer.
Jeez, wonder what you were listening to.
I spent all my teenage years in the 1980s and i'm still playing these great songs!!!
Best era to be a teen!
I remember how risqué this song was the first time I heard it and I still love it. You guys were brilliant and I miss songs like you made. Thank you all so very much for being a part of my youth and take care please, Mate
What a great song - still love it in 2022.
we grew up so Merica looked....

I shiver when I hear this song, so many memories..awesome band !! :)
NAILED IT NIC.
Still shivering with you
me 3!!!!
Same here Nicole.....
Said it before I'll say it again... This is the best song no one has ever heard
Summer of 81 is pretty good as well, and I only discovered that about a year ago. They weren't well-known in the UK.
@@ajs41 If you were not from the UK or US you were rarely heard. There were plenty of great Aussie acts in the 80's. Love from Oz.
Yep thats me ... no one .... ha ha ... AND STILL LOVIN IT ...
It was banned because it is naughty. This is why not many heard it.
Still played on the radio here in Sydney :)
How great is this song, the dynamics of Wilsons voice are ably backed by the fantastic playing from the Mondo rock lads, a bona fide classic!
nostalgic fantasy memories . . .yet evil . .. . run away boy ! run !
Still reckon Ross' work in Mondo was more iconic Aussie than Eagle Rock could ever be.
Maybe its my age. I was born in 74.
But this. Cool World. State of the Heart... they touched on my teenage desires and life much greater than the others even though dropping your strides on the dancing floor to Eagle Rock was still a thing!
Love this song . Makes me want to buy a 80's Porsche 911 Turbo so i can drive it Through the city at night.
Johnny Scar and get a rwb kit on it yeah know what ya mean m8...
Johnny scar whatever you do don't listen to Kenny loggins dangerzone while driving!! Lol go 80s music
Every time I see that car drive away it takes the 1980's with it.
And with it a memory of a girl with a beautiful smile on a playground swing
in a drive in as the sun set. Funny what stays with us as time passes
This song “gets me” every time I hear it. It’s really more of a Time Machine, and judging by the other comments, it affects many people the same way.
Love this song it reminds me ov when I was a teenager hanging around the beach drinking
this part of our soundtrack growing up in the 70s and 80s in Australia and you remember the good times when we were teenagers.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BANDS FROM THE 80s AND THR CURRENT STUFF IS VERY SIMPLE THE 80s BANDS MUSIC LIVES ON EVEN AFTER 30 YEARS ITS TIMELESS JUST LIKE THIS SONG .THE CURRENT STUFF HAS NO FEEL OR SOUL AND THEY CANT PLAY INSTRUMENTS .
Ha, today's music doesn't even use instruments, it's all done on Apple Macs.
just rappers playing with their egos and dicks

Spot on! A lot of modern stuff gets forgotten about whilst all the old good stuff never does. People keep returning to watch and listen to it.
Pretty much.
I think this is the best song Australia has produced. Perfect in every way.
You can walk around the film site at Maroubra and feel the song off in the distance, lingering in our memories
This remains of my most favourite songs of all time. And Maroubra Beach looked pretty good back then.
Ahuh.... I was going to ask which beach that was.... How's it these days. anyone?
@@diontiasevski1403 Brah is no doubt crowded, and full of tourists, like all the beaches around Sydney, Bronte, Bondi, Clovelly, Coogee etc.
It’s still not quite as crowded as the other beaches of the eastern suburbs. The Parking’s still free. Those concrete steps in clip are still there, as is the green headland to the south, thankfully.

controversial but no doubt one of Australia's best songs of the 80's

2023 still listening. Great tune🇦🇺🖤
I was 15 at the time and this was one of those 'coming of age' songs that will stick with me forever
I was 13, still one of my favourite songs ever
I was 14! Music is a soundtrack to our lives 🙂
Oh man - I didn't realise how many Mondo Rocks songs I loved!!!
My God, Ross is 70 years old now.
last few times i seen him was when he showed up pissed at some ross hannaford (daddy kool) dianas kiss shows and done a few un announced vocals lol, that was back in the 90s though, im pretty sure ross hannaford has passed since then
Ross Wilson is like Keanu Reeves, immortal.
Saturday night he rocked the Brunswick Ballroom at the tender age of 73!
A true Aussie Classic
I rate this song in my Top 5 Songs of All Time
I just love it.
As a kiwi i grew up with some great aussie music
And us Aussies grew up with some great Kiwi music too.
I hate to be a nitpicker, but this song was released in November 1983, not 1984. It came out just as I was finishing senior at school at the end of 1983 and thus the opening lyrics have always resonated with me.
It certainly has a 1983 sound to it. Doesn’t sound too different from anything on the Scarface soundtrack.
This has that same vibe as Boys of Summer by Don Henley, although this was earlier.
I had never heard this song before until a couple of days ago...watching old MTV vidchecks...and I thought the exact same thing.
Yeah and, like many things has far more right to be on the radio regular than the crap that is.
Omg so true. I always thought this for year's.
@@racerxfile you f*&^ing what? a coupe of days ago? (minus three years) Listen to the album. Summer of 81, Tied up in knots, Chemistry..... Jesus Man, where you been?
We were once so spoilt for talent -- oh i pine for those days..
Just thinking. An Australian Beach, people here for maybe 60,000 years. This song has been played a million times. It’s unique and original every time.
Humanity is great. Let’s respect that.
Growing up in the 80ies in Europe I've never heard this song before and discovered this gemstone right now.
I live in the USA and obsessed with 80s music too, but never ever heard of this one before until May of 2022 when I discovered it by accident. I guess it was only played exclusively in Australia.
Great song
This song reminds me of what a great life we had back in the 80s
As a young teenager when this song came out also looking for my first time this song brings back some pretty special memories
My home Maroubra Beach such great memories the old pavilion 💛
You still have that Rip to the left of the beach house?
Teenage awakening: sends chills: Eric McCusker's incisive guitar lines, the wall of sound backing vocals and Ross Wilson's prophetic vocal delivery.
Takes me back to 84 kiwi boy turning up to the fantastic sights of Sydney for the first time to have my 21st birthday,,,,, geez that went quick they said it would
Bring back the 70's & 80's, best times.🇦🇺
Jesus his voice is just devine
I had the chance to Email Ross a few years back - helped me get a copy of one of their CD's that was stolen from me back in the 90's. This song is a pure classic, probably one of the best Aussie rock songs of all time. I guess he's retired now but I would love to shake his hand. Thanks man!
Soundtrack of the 80's....I was 13 when this came out...now I'm 49....where's that time gone!
I'm 42!!
Ross Wilson & Mondo Rock. Can't wait to see him again Feb 11
I've taken a few guys down to the "sand"...on the beach.😊
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
How come I know most all pop radio songs of the 1980's, all I did and lived was music. It's amazing in hindsight, all the amazing eighties music that perhaps was popular in one country and unknown in another, "the universal language" ain't it my .music mates ;-)
Good old Maroubra beach...seeing this brings back so many great memories 💜
Love, love, love this song! The bass, the guitars and keyboards with that constant beat...timeless. I still remember when this song was banned.
I wonder if people can see that he was also daddy cool! Such a diverse musician! And a legend!
Best Australian song ever...classic
Great songs never go out of fashion. Great Aussie music.
Great song, Great clip. Long live Ross Wilson.
I’m waiting on those awesome triple pleated baggies and jazz shoes to come back in style!!!
Reminds me of schoolies week at the Gold Coast. Ended up going at it in someone's front yard near the beach.
Good old Eagle Rock lost it's Virginity, only in Australia, The Land Down Under 🤘🙃
Mondo Rock had some of the cruisiest rock goin' round!
I was 16 when this song was released. All the fun fond memories come rushing back. Them good old days. Still sounds great in 2020 👍💛
i was pretty young with this came out, only 11, but now, it is such a classic. Living in NYC, and I still crave this music!
80s were good ,thought it could only get better,young people today dont understand.
One of those iconic songs for me. Its a song that's aged well and its emotion still holds true
1984 I was 17 and in Year 11. Great memories
Memories of me, 14! my older sister 16 chasing boys and drinking at Bribie Island Queensland. Summers…. I miss you sis RIP Phillipa. Thank you for such fun memories. X
Come said the boy thank you sharing the song as well the music a wonderful group called mondo Rock
maroubra beach :)
Thanks. Was trying to work out where it was.
Lexington place.
MrZeljko88 for me it was Long Reef/Dee Why Beach - just like yesterday🙏🙏😉
I thought it was the beach in new South Wales Tweed heads
I was just thinking that it looks like Maroubra. These days the Bra Boys would tell you to fuck off - “Locals only!!!” 😂
The "From here to eternity" love scene in the waves is a nice touch.
Blast from the distant past. Still sounds fresh!
Omg, love this song, haven't heard this in ages. Was a teen when this came out.
Wow had a lot of surfing good times at south Maounra
This is one of those songs that capture a feeling.. I was born in '85 ...I'm 34 now... and plan to be listening to this until after I'm 85.. Mondo Fkn Rock !🤘
Pure gold Aussie tune !!
love finding old gems I haven't heard of in years
Ross Wilson is unbelievably 37 years of age in this film clip. He reinvented his career over and over always keeping with the times
He looked much older than that when I saw Daddy Cool in 1971.
Class song... interesting key changes... lots of depth n style
Great song , One of their best ( For me anyway ) . The actress on beach / What a sweetheart very pretty . She got a bit of brooke shields look .
❤Love the sound,this bassline
Ross Wilson has one of the purest voices in the world
I will never forget an ad on the radio it went like this "they are playing Mondo rock at the Rhumba bar" it remains in my heart a true classic
Absolute gold one the greatest 80’s s songs brings back all that wonderful energy, love and specialness about growing up in the 80’s !
_"She had turned 17..."_
She's 53 now.
Lol, Deconstructionalism
I saw mondo rock play live in Southport Qld in 1982. It’s a long time ago but I can still remember how tight and fresh their sound was- they nailed it.
It’s just a number
@@Veldtian1 care to explain what you mean?
And so is the narrator .. ie older too...
December of 1983 this song came on the radio. I turned the station and chopper said to me hey turn the song back on. That was in jika jika.
Wanted to youtube something else... but got caught up in the song's chorus, and could not navigate elsewhere.
Great song, I wonder what she looks like now.
