Phil Judd is an underappreciated musical genius.

That's Bones Hillman who replaced Peter Gifford in Midnight Oil? Holy shit I never knew that!

R.I.P. Bones Hillman.

Ahhhhh.......1981. Lots of friends, weekends away no commitments. Before the weight of the world crushed my spirit.

That's still my haircut and in my mind the best kiwi song of the 80's.

Still lookin into that sunrise in 2020 💗

So much fun. What a great beat and fun song. This video was very different for a NZ band at the time, fun, good timing and light-hearted. The guitar swinging is iconic. (Tunnels at North Head, Devonport which haven't changed, lol.)

I always LOVED this song and video so much when I was a 14 year old kid. Phil Judd's unusual nervous energy and wacky spirit was/is incredibly appealing, he's like a less neurotic and more likeable David Byrne. Charisma like his is so rare.

Yeah, a mix of David Byrne and Peter Gabriel, but likely they followed Judd rather than the other way around. Love the kiwi accent.

New Zealand and Aussie bands from the 80’s where fucking stella¡!¡

Absolute iconic song. One of the best ever.

RIP Bones. Legend

What a ton of fun that was! That video actually seemed ahead of it's time. Very well crafted and put together. It's a crying shame I grew up with MTV in the 80s and never saw this. The whole thing is pretty f***ing brilliant. Great classic music video and pop song. I put this up against anything else then, or today.

What an odd journey to find this cool song. RIP Bones

RIP Bones Hillman...gone far too soon 😪

I still just love this song and aint what you dance. Two absolute go to gems!

Agreed.

This album needs a re-release on CD, or at least as download! My vinyl copy is unplayable after all these years.

RIP Bones 😢

Still brilliant.

I'll never understand why this wasn't a hit in the U.S. it's so freakin good!

The song came out just before MTV got it's initial footing and helped with a second British/Aussie/Kiwi invasion in the early 80's. Otherwise it may have been a hit in the US.

Classic fun song.

Enzed, 1981. Good memories.

RIP Bones

I'm surprised there was never a remake of this song. It probably would have done very well in the Alternative Rock hey day of the early to mid 90's.

Definitely! Good ear for music you have:)

I love at 30 seconds you can see the string attached to his glasses to pull them from his eyes. K-Mart need to take on this song again to promote their selves. Was a genius idea! and well remembered to this day

A few yrs between us Brother but we went to the same school... Hastings Boys High School, God Mr Crist was still in power LoL Now Covid is sorted get a few of the oldies together Talk to Noel C etc and see if he is keen , time for a re visiting of the old and a NZ tour , The Swingers and Snell F concert play that amp .. Good enough for Midnight Oil in 2022 , good enough to dig out some old Kiwi classics and have some fun and POGO DANCING jerking around like a mad mad and "Counting the Beat " pull finger buddy time is running wild.

Love this! Cannot get it out of my head. Very catchy!

One of my favourite songs

such a great song,

love

Not a bad video considering NZ bands had zero $$ for videos.

I hadn't heard this song in a long time. I came here to listen again because of the death of Bones Hillman. Does anyone know if its the same artist who did the animation in this video who also did the animation in Midnight Oil's The Dead Heart video? It looks like it to me.

Yes the Sweet Dreams clip. I love the bit where Paul Emlyn Crowther appears to be tapping on Phil's bald head with the drumstick and Phil rolls his eyes back in acknowledgement.

Always wanted to ask what the budget was on that video?

Can someone please tell me what guitar he is using
