How I loved this album, I can’t imagine how many times I sat on the floor of my bedroom and played this over and over, and yes I’m a happy man.

Saw these guys live in early 80’s and were awesome. I’m 60 now and their first album is still on my playlists

We all have different experiences and memories and I guess that, like us all, bands can have an off day/night..sorry for you if that was your experience. Saw these guys at Thebarton Town Hall in Adelaide and again at Horden Pavilion in Sydney .. both shows were great but I went to both shows with a mindset to enjoy myself which helps. Memories are personal and I’m a ‘happy man’ that the Sunnyboys gave me some good ones

Im still here thanks for the sunshine

Great band! Was nuts about them when I was a teen and still listening to them 40 years later.

Watching the doco on Jeremy. Ripping my heart apart as I feel his pain and think of my own battles with the black dog

I love this. I remember the Sunny Boys from my youth and it still sounds bloody good.

This video was an inspiration for me to learn the drums (in 1981) The folks didn't enjoy it so much, But, many years later, I'm a happy man.

great band from the best era 80s pub rock

en france ..on écoute toujours !! ;-)

this band is the reason I play music!

Always loved them and the Church - some stories over the years from Steve (Kilbey) make it sound as though he didn't like them very much though :) Can't wait for the new Church LP

Just kids , Jeremy, aged 20 in 1981, a lyrical and musical genius and the band, a master of their craft. Get some Fun!

The waves at Kingscliff were often good, but the music ALWAYS good thanks to Jeremy and Pete.

YEAH BABY

I first came to Sydney in the early to mid 80s..........the Sunnyboys, The Hoodoo Gurus, Hunters & Collectors & Paul Kelly, Spy v Spy all blew my mind.............. as did The Allnighters & Strange Tennants......the Sydney pub music scene was awesome.

i love that we’re in an era where you can search up music from almost any time period!

it was better when you could go out and see bands like this at your local for a few dollars biggest issue then was to many great bands not enough time oh gee what a hassle made me a happy man though

Had they been born in Leeds, or Manchester etc they'd have been massive sellers. Classic song and album.

Never gets old. Love Jeremy's voice bless his heart.

Memories man, this takes me back, at the time 16, bought the single.

Every now and then I come upon an 80’s song I never heard before. I was away doing a cultural immersion year in college, so missed this one! Love it!

Just geeking out over the guitars.

Awesomeness. The song that takes me to my 21st party preparations. What a great Aussie band

Glad to see recent comments, you guys inspire me and know that my teenage boys are at this time discovering the cream of raw Australian genius, thank you !

According to wikipedia "Sunnyboys are an Australian power pop band formed in Sydney in 1979. Fronted by singer-songwriter, guitarist Jeremy Oxley, the band "breathed some freshness and vitality into the divergent Sydney scene"

Classic Aussie track

I love Happy man 😊

epic band!!

Awesome tune ‼️🔥😍🎸

I just hope that somewhere, some time at some stage Bill Bilson receives the credit that is certainly his due!

Ah! - Reminds me of growing up going to school in Porpoise Spit...

Still my favourite clip

Tanelorn! 1981 I recall it was so cold we rode home after the oils some bastards stole our blankets!

Simplemente maravillosos, siguen sonando igual de bien...

Way happy groove delightful trak,ta for ya music

Top song! Used to have it going around in my head, not knowing who sang it, till one day I was paying attention on Triple J at the end of the song the woman said it was "Happy Man" by the Sunnyboys.... whoa, I didn't realize, a band I had seen at the local pub!

soooooooo goooooooood

This is classic Aussie pub Rock

They are huge in Greece apparently

Great band

ffs thy are so goood!

❤💫

I met Jeremy once at teh Governors Pleasure at the Rocks. I was 16 and loaded...He was very tolerant of my joking disrespect and was up for a chat

The irony is that he looks anything but happy. So Aussie.

Coolest song ever...

Just agreeing…

Yet another Australian band pulls down all third party clips of the same song (most of which are remastered by people like me in 1920x1080 with new remastered audio) and replace it with a poor sounding 640 x 480 version. I am happy to supply you with my version free of charge to replace this one, if you are genuinely interested please contact me via my KZread profile. I don't make any money out of what I do, just a fan of Australian music.
