- Judith Durham & The Boys having fun at a Luau for their TV special 'The Seekers Down Under'. The single was released in Australia in 1964, before their trip to the UK which brought them so many hits. It was written before Judith joined the group, about a girl who the Boys met on a working cruise. A verse was later added by Judith and some of the more risque words changed! I've used Digital Extraction to create a 'true' stereo version here - I hope you enjoy it, sounds even better with headphones!

I'm binging The Seekers at the moment. It's still hard to process that there is no Judith on this planet anymore. Rest in Peace, beautiful lady.
Xx f
RIP Judith
In 1964 I was just 21 years old and it was a wonderful time to be alive and able to listen to all of these folk singers and other groups live.
R.I.P. Judith Durham 1943-2022
Thanks for your sterling work on the seekers rich.
Judith and the Seekers have left a great legacy of great music! Judith had so much talent ,spark and will be missed forever! RIP Judith!
Judith was born to be on stage.
My favorite group of singers of all time!!
For the life of me ,I don't understand how Judith had a bad image of her body and that of her attractiveness! Men were crazy about her. Besides being a great singer/entertainer, she was a beautiful ,sweet woman! She is very sadly missed already! RIP Judith!
Because her soul was more beautiful than her looks
@christiangoobaw not sure about that, Judith was an absolute Stunner!
Mate i'm with you, Judith was an absolutely gorgeous woman, to me even more beautiful than Livvy, or Agnetha and Frida! It's just so sad she suffered like that, until she met Ron, luckiest bugger ever!
I never knew that. To me as a child she was so beautiful. I thought she was sheer perfection in both looks and voice and stole my moms Seekers album so I could just listen to it over and over. I'm 60 now and still have it in my collection.
@@adelucas4824 me too mate, you're second in line behind me to greet this absolute stunning angel! Not only looks, not only voice, but she had a beautiful heart as well, such a giving but extraordinarily strong woman. Perfection is correct. Stay well. 2024, Go DEES!
Only the Seekers could get away with writing a song about a lady of the night and make it sound so innocent.
This is a very nice "happy go lucky" song, full of smile, full of joy, full of energy, all 4 performs perfectly, what joyfull video.
Born 58 ... Been loved the Seekers forever and speciallly J.D. Rest in Peace Judith.
One of sooo many Faves!!! ❤
I've never yet seen Judith actually, really, dancing. But this is good enough.
Just superb. It's really inspiring when performers look like they're having a great time.
The sound quality is sheer brilliance with the headphones on.
This is such feel-good music as the Seekers delivered so great here. Never heard this one before.
It's now 8/6/2022 and the news of Judith's passing has happened. I'm shocked and stunned and in her honor listening to all those great Seekers tunes.
Never heard it b4 either. I guess it wasn't a big hit, but it was great song.
It was credited to the four members of the band as songwriters. Quite different from their other music , but a great song nonetheless. This would really pack a dance floor today.
@@CaptZdq1 This song was released in the 60ies. The venue where this performance was filmed Tiki Village on the Gold Coast.
The Lyrics in this song, refer to the Big White Ship - this was when the ships brought the supplies to the Islands.
@@CaptZdq1 Myra was one of their many songs from the 60ies. The venue where this video was filmed is the Tiki Village located on the Gold Coast.
Dear Judith Durham in Heaven forever and ever RIP with angels and Jesus Christ forever
Rest in Peace, Judith Durham. Heanen's choir has a new heavenly vpoice.
FANTASTIC LADY.RIP JUDITH DURHAM.
She is almost as beautiful as her voice.
Actually maybe more so! What a positively evil figure, and such an Angelic face!
This reminds me of the Beach Blanket Bingo with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funichello, love these oldies! 🏄🏻♀️
I remember these old groups do you remember connie francis too
The best musical group, from Brasil.
Rapaz, estava com depressão devido a pandemia, ao escutar estas lindissimas músicas estou curado.
I thought they were from Ethiopia.
@@Funeeman 😅
Let's get a million views for this special lady and her friends
this is the only video you really see judith durham do any dancing here
Fun song.
I love how each of them got a solo verse so you can hear them together and individually. Keith, Athol, Bruce and Judy.
Such class..
There were two women I fell in love with when I was young. Karen Carpenter was one, Judith was the other. For me their voices were perfection and even now I binge listen to both of them.
Judith has said she had self-image concerns. I don't see why. She's exquisitely beautiful.
I agree! She's beautiful inside and out.
Yes even at 78 she is looking good.
Agreed! She may not have even been 21 when this recorded
Stunningly exquisite, after all these years I'm still besotted with this epitome of womanhood!
@@markhill9275 it's only been 58 years for me so far. Bring on the next 58.
Que Deus Conceda O Descanso Eterno A Essa Grande Cantora, RIP Judith Durham.
Instant feel good video! Thanks Seekers!
Fun song. Judith once said she had a weight problem. She sure didn’t look like it here, Beautiful lady and voice. They enjoyed this number.
Desde Chile precioso, lindos The Seekers
Unicos.
It is impossible to watch this without smiling! Is it wrong that I still have a teeny-bopper crush on Athol Guy? I would have been about 11 years old when they broke up in '68.
Don’t see anything wrong with that.
I'm 68 years old and I have a crush on him! ❤️
i had a crush on judith durham in 1967 at the age of 12 yrs old to
Havnt seen this video before congrats rich
Brilliant! Love this song!
This was filmed in the early days of the group when the Seekers were performing a traditional Australian welcoming ceremony for the visiting Belgian delegation. You can see some of the members seated, apparently enjoying the display, towards the end of the clip.
The meaning of the lyrics remains obscure. But they are thought to be those of the (now extinct) aboriginal tribe which welcomed the First Fleet when it arrived in Botany Bay in 1770.
😅
victoryoneable - how interesting yr comment. Tks!
@@iamvictory7315 Greetings fellow conquerer! I'm only too glad to have enlightened you.
Actually, I think that it draws more from the Hawaiian tradition of "Boat Day", when the Matson liners ("Big White Ship") would pull in with their cargoes of tourists bound for the (Matson-owned) Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and native Hawaiian boys and girls would come down to the Aloha Tower in Honolulu Harbor to earn some "throw money" by entertaining them with songs and hulas and such. This was a Very Big Deal from the 1920s all the way through the early 1960s.
@@ericbowen650 You're probably right. I was just imagining.
👏👏👏from Brasil 🇧🇷

I wonder how the world thought of them back then.
Means, were they considered "rebels" ? (e.g. as the Beatles or Elvis)
They were pretty young at the time, but seems very elegant and not "rebelious"
Hi Rich, Cool mix and video! Tom K.
Glad you enjoyed it!
♥️
If I ever take LSD again, this is the video I want to see...
😅
TheLions1957 - 😃👌
good morning my friend rich963 Let's not forget it's going to be on August 5th a 1yr Anniversary of Judith durham death too
Both so corny and so cool
Athol is ALL man !
Would like to see the original lyrics before changed
When your name is Myra😏
.... except when it's Hindley 😀
am wondering where is concert at too
though this song came out in 1968
There were a few versions - this one was recorded in '64...
❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🇨🇦
Can someone tell me how to stop playing this?? I'm getting nothing done
Cuánto le gusta.
Sorry like for previous unedited comment about Onedin Line.
Good morning my friend rich963 is there a live video of Judith Durham singing Alway's There in 1997?
this is the emi version.the w and g single doesn't have the shaker at the start
Oh, by the way...if you want to hear the Boys being risqué (but in a harmless, fun, schoolboy sort of way)...check out this video! czcams.com/video/w1mf9Oz4dpk/video.html
Where is this video taken at
In malayalam, myra doesn't have a good meaning... But this sounds so good
Well, you have me curious. Got my granddaughter Myra sitting here beside me!
It doesn't have a good meaning in the UK either thanks to Myra Hindley. :D But I love this song, which was released a year before Hindley hit the news.
Can you download this song before judith durham because i love to hear that one to rich963
Was this video done after going to London England or not?
Where is Luau at ?
I think it was at Tiki Village on the Gold Coast. You can see a flag with ... Village on it as they parade around.
So, there were legs under those dresses!
where is the new updated of this song rich963
Where is this concert taken at
Where is this video taken at rich963 do you know where it was taken at
Beatlesque
song?
Тогда еще Америка была нормальной(
австралиец
Was this about Myra Hindley?
22rr
How many of those people in this video are dead?
Well if they in this video they will live on forever
They are all still alive and still sound amazing together!
@@mdeysenroth: I'm talking about EVERYONE in the video not just the Seekers.
It would take a bit of research to answer that!
@@rich963: Obviously! Anyway more than likely more than a few have probably passed away since about half a century ago.
Glorified the prostitution of Indigenous women to white men. Not a song to celebrate normalizing the exploitation of Indigenous women. I'm sure Judith would be horrified by this song now.. in the face of we are Australian.
I was just thinking that. Unless Myra was selling postcards and fruit??
You can actually look up where the song originated and it's indicated to originally refer to either the first fleet ie white men and Indigenous women or Captain Cooks white syphlitic crew and Hawaiian virgins.
I doubt whether the Seekers knew the origins. Many of the folk singers in the sixties sang either negro spirituals or traditional songs. For instance the Seekers and Oh Sinner Man. Or Pete Seeger with Henry My Son... an Irish traditional folk song warning of the dangers of children wandering.
The Seekers sang this song on their "Farewell Tour" 9 years ago. From what I saw they didn't seem too horrified. It's a great song. Very up-tempo compared to much of their music, except maybe "Georgy Girl".
I don't think they were/are aware of the original source. Given the 5 verses of We are Australian I pretty much think like many folk musicians in the 60s they have s pretty high sense of social justice to go with that undeniable talent... I'm not into cancel culture... what was in any era needs to be taken in context. Many folk singers had agents or managers who sourced folk tunes... and we know many folk tunes, nursery rhymes and fables had deep dark meanings.
Judith had NO problem singing and dancing to this cute little song - even during The Seekers "Farewell" tour. In fact The Seekers (including Judith) actually WROTE the song.
Not a good song. Not for the Seekers.
Certainly a different theme from most of their songs - it was written by the Boys about a real person they met.
