Exactly mate. Everyone gets one chance to be a top bloke. Everyone gets a fair go, and after that ya on your own. Proud to be Aussie.

Hearing James Reyne singing this song makes me proud to be Australian and have grown up through the 80's in Australia and listening to this on a cassette tape and on the Radio at Home and in my Holden Commodore, I still love this song after almost 40 years since it was released and think the sound ofit has never aged.

Strategically positioned before the midday show Her back is arched, those lips are parched Repeated blow by blow... pmsl

astonishing to look back on these outrageous lyrics played on TV for children to sing along and memorize while their parents watched on with not a clue this band, "the crawl" could have been as big as any Aussie rock band of their time. some of their music is still unmatched today (listen to Reckless and consider the lyrics, consider the unconventional confidence of unfinished lyrics "don't be so..."

Last memories of 2 friends of mine. Walking out of one of there house, 3 of us together jumping in his xd falcon, starting the car and him putting the australian crawl cassette in the stereo and this song on.... Driving up the street together with this blaring, not long later, i never seen them again..... Talk about mixed feeling, sad, but at the same time what great last momemt memories with such a cool cool song to remember them by

How could this not have been number 1 all around the globe??? Best lyrics by an Aus band. Well James Reyne actually. The guy's a genius.

I was 5 when this came out and I can tell you, this song still kicks some ass in 2019!

Doesn't get any more classic than this!

In 81 i was 10 and a little to young to see Aussie Crawl back in the day but i remember watching countdown and loooove it. If I could turn back time i would be right there right now reliving the 80's. Best years of my life. Miss my Bmx bike and pretending to be and play Dr Who and the daleks with the local kids.

Conheci esse som aos 13 anos!!! Desde então curto ....

Love Aussie Crawl. Always thought James was a spunk!

Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺

I saw Crawl at a concert in about '83/4. I had a whole ounce of primo MJ rolled up and ready to go. Every couple of minutes I'd fire one up, take a huge hit, then pass it to the crowd. Used up the whole ounce with time to spare. Those were the days.

The first popular band I ever did see live, at the Ararat Town Hall in country Victoria!

"I was heading for my mountain home where all the ladies names are Joan." James Rayne was singing about the suburb he grew up in, Mt. Eliza in Victoria. A very posh part of Melbourne these days.

saw this band twice live would still pay to see them

Caramba peguei muita onda escutando esses caras !!!! Bons Tempos !!!!

muito show! Época formidável!

This song is that good, it will always be remembered. GREAT!

Saw James Reyne In Townsville Live at the Dalyrmple Hotel on Saturday night & he was Excellent! His Encore was " Boys Light Up" I think he gets better with age! I saw him at the Play Room on the Gold Coast as Aussie Crawl in the early 80's he was good then & better with age.
