I'm Gary's brother and I'm so glad you like the song. I totally agree with your comments. Rick O'Connor

One of the best songs and videos from a Canadian artist I remember as a kid growing up in Vancouver....it was all over Good Rockin'Tonight and Video Hits....

This is a great song. I remember watching this on MuchMusic. The DJ's I remember are JD Roberts, Christopher Ward, Erica Ehm, Mike Williams, Steve Anthony. I used to live in Canada (Kingston, Ontario). Brings back a lot of memories.

Gary's (Strange behavior) lp was such a great album so I don't understand why RCA did not re-issue this lp on cd. You would think with all the retro 80's stuff being so hot that this would have been a no brainer for the record label. Take care all. Bruce.

Wow!!..I did not know he wrote "Back where you belong" I just tuned into Gary O for the fallen soldiers of WW2. It is Remeberance day in Canada today. All my love to the brothers in arms of the allied forces that performed their campaign on D day. I thank all the British, USA, and Canadian regiments for defeating what could have meant a terrible future for us. God bless you all Lads!

Wow, 1980s music was really kinda great

Classic Canadian rock tune!!! Brings back memories, like when Erica Ehm was the resident hottie at MuchMusic!

Hello. Great to hear you and your Grandfather enjoyed the song. He wrote the song in memory of the many military personnel and civilians who lost their lives in both world wars. I participated in the making of the Shades of 45 video and I can tell you that many of the veterans who appeared in it had some great stories to tell and many a tear in their eyes. Sincerely, Rick O'Connor (Gary's Brother).

Brilliant song! Love seeing the Vets in the video too! .....Love your freedom?? Thank a Vet!......

Brings back memories of disarmament rallies at Kitsilano, Vancouver in 1985 . It was (and still is) a favorite tune .

cool. u gotta find Paul Janz' i go to pieces. this is jus awesome its like my 80's mixed tapes come to life. Remember tapen with ghetto blaster off of tv episode of Good Rockin Tonight..lmao.

I had to see this video, as the song has been stuck in my head for 3 days. I actually heard it on the radio for the first time since 1986. Ottawa's oldies station, Oldies 1310 is playing this song, back when they were a top 40 they played it to0.

I still love the synthisizers!

As far as I can remember Terry started his career in radio as a DJ, spending two decades at stations including CFUN and CHUM. He moved into television as host of CBC's video show "Good Rockin' Tonight" before joining MuchMusic in 1985.

This album a number of great songs on it.

I loved this song. And damn, Gary O was handsome.

Perfect song for Remembrance Day.

Oh man you are right, I forgot all about that show, it was brilliant! It was Dave McCormick who also hosted the show, I loved the blend of commentary, history and songs....I actually have some episodes taped (somewhere on cassette now that my brain remembers it....I think I have Led Zep, the Police, Chilliwack...)

I remember the mates from the North Nova Scotia Highlanders.... CPL Albert Washington

Great song, my favorite was 'All The Young Heroes' and Gary O sang a great cover of 'Pay You Back With Interest' as well.

Awesome

I have to look through my old vhs tapes, I probably have it somewhere. I loved that song and the video's funny.

Whoa. I haven't heard this in...fifteen years? Twenty?

thanks man - brings back grat memories ... fantastic song .... michael, germany

@CraigTube Hey Craig just saw your post , I too am a great Canadian fan of Gary's, cool to learn he worked with you . We both know I am a fan of you aswell. Cheers.

Gary O and the Zone- Call of the Wild. He's a wedding crasher, sort of like "I Knew the Bride When..." Really cool guitar riff. Has Anybody seen it recently?

Well said, well said.

Great video, great song!

I really only remember him on 14 CFUN in Vancouver then he appeared on GRT..

Damn, where is "All The Young Heroes?" I once owned this CASSETTE!

I thought KZread claimed to have every video in existance? I've gone looking for my favorite CanCon and dimly-remembered videos, only to be left hanging... quite amazed that Bourgois Tagg was so easily available, though...

STRANGE BEHAVIOUR del 84

@polaris30000 Well he's Canadian, so ask one :) cause I grew up listenening and loving his tunes, I can drag the tapes or 45's out

HOLY ONE-HIT WONDERS BATMAN!!!

jd roberts now on cnn as james roberts

Does he say "dawning of a new clear day", or "nuclear day"? Or is that a pun on words considering the subject at hand in the video?

I AM CANADIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Eh?

was there a vid for "she's just one of the boys"? havent heard that tune in years and years....anyone got it? even just the audio

Didn't Gary O used to be in another band, previous to this? Possibly the guitarist?

It always seemed to be a play on words to me. In many of the places where the lyrics are posted, it is spelled "nu-clear"...I suppose to emphasize the way it is pronounced in the song.

V66 circa 83?? :V66 Boston MTV like station in th 80's

Is that the one with Dave McCormick and Red Robinson? I managed to play it on RealPlayer....very cool!

Alright, I have done a ton of looking, so help me out here. Anyone know where I can find his music? KZread has a few songs and ebay sucks. Any suggestions?

Actually its John Roberts

'The restless sky'? That sounds almost Lovecraftian.

Don't forget Russia.
