The Crawl made a memorable debut on performing "Beautiful People" because Reyne appeared with both arms encased in plaster. He was also shown in the official music video with his arms in plaster. He had been hit by a car in Swanston St, Melbourne breaking bones in both wrists, an episode chronicled in the song "Indisposed". Although "Beautiful People" only reached No. 22, it remains one of their most popular songs

Australian Crawl were so similar in delivery as The Sports. I'm sure James Reyne studied Stephen Cummings song delivery style. The difference is the diction. It's near impossible to understand whats sung in Australian Crawl songs. That was the fun of them.

I remember watching this on Countdown as plain as day ..... where have the years gone ? Still sounds great though ;-)

James Reyne doing his best Stephen Cummings (Sports) impersonation.

James was wearing the 2 casts when I first saw them perform. I think it was at Bombay Rock in Melbourne.

James is a true blue Aussie larrikin and we love him for it

Shame it has replaced audio because on the actual show of Countdown there was a weird edit on the miming tape to censor out “cocaine cough” - ironically as kids we weren’t allowed to hear that on TV even though we had the record

Countdown was a hell of tv show 😉

This is my fave Crawl song.

aussie kulcha,singing bout the toorak,south yarra,kew,armadale belt no doubt,hed often have a dig at old money

Australian af!

Brilhante

The garden's full of furniture and the house is full of plants.

It looks live I hope it's live but countdown wouldn't let people do that 🙂.

Mr. Inbetween S02E03

Is this Australian Crawl’s tv debut?

The singer is named James Reyne, sorta like James Brown , Nobody knows what the fuck he is singing about, but its good!

Two broken arms ouch
