@@davidhusband5022 you hit the nail on the head David. Before Melbourne became, Africa, Nigeria, Sudan, The middle east. And the crime that comes with these Human's and their barbaric religion. It was raining the other day in the North of Melbourne and I said to my friend "Look why are there two umbrellas on the footpath?" She said omg "your Terrible Muriel" I honestly thought they were umbrellas. They were two unidentified human's, Men, Aliens, who knows I couldn't even see their eyes in their full BURQA thingy. 🤷‍♀️

I worked in Lygon St from 1987-1995…this brings back memories, thanks for posting!

People watching old videos from 80' and 90's and are happy and excited ., which shows how good those days were. We never watch a future videos with tall Crappy Glass buildings and be happy like this. I would exactly say, all fun stopped between 2003-2006.. and then Started the horror (technology like iPhones and apps and all this shitty stuffs) ..we were even happier when Nokia was there

Gezza you're an absolute legend.. just look at all those cars..

Man,. what a time to be alive!

God bless people who just film themselves driving around or even walking around in this fashion. Then it would've seemed like a senseless waste of tape, but time has passed ad made it a treasure, a look back in time at how everything used to feel and look.

My favourite Hooks song 🎶 💗

Never gets old

G'day Boobdepot1977,That was a 1972 XA Futura, it was like a tank, it got pounded by heaps of stacks but just kept going.

G'day JetZaus, that was a cassette with songs i taped off the radio back in the mid 1980's. The radio stations would of been EON FM or KZFM, which are the same as the now TRIPLE M & GOLD FM, cheers Gezza

wow eon fm,, brings back memorys

Classic! The street that gave birth to the song. Sensational video! Long live the mighty Hooks!

"There's a couple of Marios" - LOL. Amazing that in the entire video I only saw 1 Mercedes. Driving down Lygon St. today, you'd see about 50 in 3 minutes.

Been waiting to see this again ,,such perfect day ,if look closely see exactly how was ,types cars parked ,even shifty Merc in laneway ,must got out sunroof ,no room open doors 🤭😂🤣👍

WOw those were the days, back in the early 1980's going to FAME night club, speakeasy, also chasers and so on doing floor shows at each of those and especially isabella and the perlaidium in St Kilda doing floor shows and getting paid $75.00 per minute,so basically doing a 3 minute floor show at each night club and then spending the $4 buying records at central station when it was at the city square. :) Also can be seen in Tv commercials when Izzy Dye used to do them late night around 1 am to 3 am ?

Cheers Skyhook75 its still a great song after all these years!

Out for a rip Aussie style! Love it, great upload

Sweet mate....bit worried I might see myself with a mullet but I reckon I could deny it anyway...thanks for the bids..keep them coming, Stefan

Love these old vids

Awesome. I maintain the gardens around there so it's weird to see them in 1988. A lot has changed, then again a lot hasn't! Hope you still catching up with the boys in the car, good times.

Its amazing how much things have changed in 29 years , I wonder how Lygon street will look in the next 30 years

Awesome. My old man had a car just like that. Kelly green XA with XC seats.

This is amazing footage! Thanx for the upload!

Legendary stuff Gezza, love your work. Thanks again. I had a beer at Prince Alfred last week. It's a shame that there is no longer a beautiful looking pub at Faraday & Lygon. They also ruined The University Hotel on the cnr of Grattan.

Cheers Tiger!

I remember going to The Correction Centre in Carlton years ago. A terrace house in a narrow side street off Lygon.

Boobdepot1977 XA 1972 Futura, it survived many bingles!

0:33 1988 in a single shot. :)

Gday AlexRSS8, the song was 'Wild Thing' by 'Cold Chisel',the song was recorded during there 'last stand' tour in 1983 it was a cover of 'The Troggs' song of the 1960's. The VN SS was a great car wasnt' it!, cheers Gezza

@AlexRSS8 If you're referring to the car at 0:42, that's not a VN, it's a VL. The VN was too new at the time this video was done, it had only been out for a few months.

Please type in Lygon Stret Burnouts here on KZread and have a look at all the action

Geez the old futura must have been an XA as it looks like Kelly or Tropicana green was already 15 or 16 years old back then and they were hand me down cars to the kids when they got their drivers licences from the old man downwards and that’s why not many survived as they were driven and thrashed and just wore out as petrol was still cheap and a non issue and those cars now are worth a fortune for any that survived but back then they were worth sweet F A!

1:44 - Is that a VN SS?

Type in Lygon Street Burnouts here on youtube more action video
