It's a crime this great Aussie song doesn't have millions of views. One of our best kept international secrets.

nah! youre wrong

….STILL my favourite Australian song ever… Love to play it late at night in the car… 👍👍

I saw The Models in 1983 when they toured with David Bowie. Great memories.

Have to give credit for releasing a song like this. It is an odd-sounding song, with magnified bass and synths, little in the way of lead guitar. All these years later, 40 years later, it still sounds fresh, invigorating and new.

It cranks into life and winds back down like a machine. It even has a bass solo. Superb song.

I remember seeing them perform this as support for David Bowie in the same year as this, 1983. Superb to the bone.

They were bloody brilliant. Tight vocals and arrangements.

That unmistakable intro........bloody brilliant

Ends in reverse to the way it begins. Absolutely brilliantly executed arrangement. One of their very best.

What a band, and what a genius Sean is. On a deserted island of wonderfulness...Duffield went alright too. I never realised how technically proficient these guys were at the time.

They were amazing live. One of my favourite bands in the early 80s when I used to spend a lot of time going to see live music in venues like the Seaview Ballroom, the Prince, the Jump Club, etc, etc. So much great music around in Melbourne then. The Models were definitely one of the very best. I felt a bit sad when I saw Sean Kelly playing with some guys in a pretty empty pub years later - probably late 90s, early 2000s. I was going to tell him what a huge fan of the models that I was and that he should get them back together but I thought that it might embarrass him under the circumstances. Anyway he did eventually get the Models back together and they are as fabulous as ever. Their music is pretty unique so it hasn't aged as much as otgers.

That is one of the best intros to an Australian song I have heard ,I just play it over and over.

Waaaaay back I loved using this song to " dance" to on stage, it was a crowd pleaser.❤ The toucan, some happy memories ( those I can recall, not age dear?). ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely one of the best songs put together in that period. That bass break. The crazy drum shuffle. It's like a crazed new wave funk machine set on automatic that would still play if the band had all passed out. The bass is impeccable. The synths are really well utilised. The guitar subtly creeps in here and there. The drummer is as we all know a legend.

Great memories of the Models performing this before Bowie took to the stage - Serious Moonlight Tour.

Hope these guys knew how perfect they were and how much happiness they provided! This song is extra!

40 Years since this was released hard to believe. Sadly James Freud is no longer with us. Love this song.

some of australias finest. NEVER to be repeated :(

Great song :) takes me back. Great Aussie music!

One of my favourite Australian (Melbourne) bands in the 80s and I've managed to see them a couple of times in recent years. So great that they got back together again.

Good as any band of its genre, criminally deserved O/S success

still rocks, such a gd sound, so well writen n produced.

Memories growing up in the 80’s as a teen. Good times.

Remember when this first came out ..i was 6 ..my 19 year old sister used to blast it all the time

I've always liked this song. Whoever produced the video did an amazing job on an obviously small budget. I remember a TV interview back in the day where Andrew said he came up with the keyboard riff trying to play the riff from Superstition.

Love the sound of this, the little keyboard punctuation that starts at beginning then is joined by the other instruments..and that voice.. . Its all so geniously done!

One of the best 80s songs🇦🇺

Discovered this through The Newsreader show and can't get enough of it. I'm not familiar with Australian 80s synthpop, but I need to dig deeper now

I still remember, Molly on Countdown, absolutely Loved these guys.

Love this track ,been years since I've heard it,still a great track,boogies along.

So Good - Saw them live plenty of times around the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney but the Best Performances were always Best at my local - The Maroubra Seals Club - INSANE SHIT !!!

Just brilliant Aussie music

I went to a gig of 80s stars years ago at the Coogee Bay and Sean was there doing this song - everyone went nuts and sang along

I have just rediscovered this song & so have my neighbours!

I saw these guys at Toad's Place in New Haven when I didn't get carded at the door at age 16😜. Love them! The drummer threw a drum stick..had that a long time!

Absolutely killer intro, beautifully crafted song. Amazing bass break by Sigmund Freud.

Thank goodness for films like Young Einstein! Haven't heard this song in years.

All round class act. the legal battles that come later in no way detract from the music. You guys were, and still are, out there.

So many beers listening to this years ago and still beers bit not so many we love you jimmy

He fights/struggles with himself and the power/consequences of human movement “the motion”. He also hears “the motion” … the voice in this head - his mind, telling him to do destructive stuff … very deep heartfelt sorrowful words. Such talent RIP.

Shows the symbiotic power of songs and movies and how one leads an audience to another. To his great credit, Yahoo Serious created a soundtrack featuring all-Australian bands.

Early quirky new wave Models is where it's at.....

It was a very exciting moment when James joined Models

Heard this song on a Australian show killing time then went looking here I am love it

The greatest Aussie song of the 80's. What a sound for its time, still sounds amazing today!

Takes me back to happier times❤️🎶❤️

Good years to those who know.

There's also a great 12 inch version of this song. Absolutely brilliant!

Still 2024!???????

Sean Kelly is the only "Mr Mumbles" that makes it so cool back then and even today 41 years later.

Full version is a masterpiece

Very cool/ from Detroit

Dave Smith and *_Sequential_* re-released the Prophet-5 (five voices) and Prophet-10 (ten voices) now, in late 2020.

I only heard this song for the first time on _Rage_ a month ago. I thought it was okay but otherwise thought nothing of it. But yesterday I was on shrooms and this tune came into my head as I was tripping. It took me until now to think where I heard it. Man, it is whack!

How come we don't see Young Einstein shown on TV anymore...I love how this song was used in the film

1980’s 🙌it’s been a minute ❤

Loved this song from the movie Young Einstein by Yahoo Serious.

Young Einstein soundtrack. Awsome song

Awesome !!

I'm 35, grew up with this album & I have to share an unpopular opinion... This version of The Models, were better than INXS.

Cool.

classic song

I was in the studio when they recorded this. James Freud told me he once took a piss in a nightclub in London with Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzie.

every clip they changed keep you on your toes cheers

RIP James Freud! \m/

champion hotel jukebox 1980 something 😎

They have Spotify too promote there sound unfortunately 20 yrs too late like a lot of great Australian bands . They won't be forgotten the legacy lives on ...

WELL .. WHAT CAN I SAY AS THE LIGHTING MAN BACK THEN ... BUT !!! THE BEST SONG HEY ....

I discovered it thanks to The Newsreader, a TV-show which, by the way, I highly recommend.

Great

models fif rock it up

Classic

I found Australian synth pop at long last

Brilliant on retro Rage!

W song

And in the USSR there was a song called "narcoman" by Lenigrad, where the music was very similar to this, but different lyrics.
