Harmonies were incredible! Great job Nikki, Tzan and Crafty.

[@2010gwf]

Great job!

[@jobeesley1688]

When Stefan was smiling at Nikki’s dancing… so flippin’ adorable 🥰 💃🏼 Rick Springfield always reminds me of the movie 13 going on 30 🤭 Love it guys… as always 🎵🎶🇬🇧

I like NIkki's hips "covering" the beats :)

*Great ROCK song that landed Rick Springfield a GRAMMY for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1981. It also landed at #1 on the charts in Australia! Go Darren! Love ❤️ seeing Ms. Nikki on background vocals! Love seeing Akasha Starr hanging out behind the scenes!*

[@krustyone]

With that many people in the room, you know the sound is going to be BIG!!! Stefan Hauk on bass. WOW…Is there anything this dude cannot do???

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

He has played it in some others and he is a beast. Guitar or bass he has it going on

I like Darren's look with his head to the side at the end, standing like, *"that's right.. I nailed it bee-otch"* Everybody was great and *Nikki was awesomely animated.* 😊

[@debbachebachir]

'Jessie's Girl' vibrated me! Darren Mullan you're a great rocker singer more than a pianist!

[@MiThreeSunz]

Springfield’s classic 80s hit played to perfection! 👊

[@hybridduncan007]

Darren, Nikki you guys are amazing 🤩. I was thinking about this same song all day long. I’ve already had goose bumps. 👍👍💪📀

[@rikrushton6826]

From an audience of 1 to 1Million views...thats my prediction - The quality from this channel keeps coming - @Darrenmullan and @Nikkiheuskes there is no better duo in what you bring to each song - no matter who has the lead, the harmonies are pitch perfect every time - huge congrats tp you all with the ever energised Crafty, the talented Tzan, Muz and Stef just doing their things 👌👏🙏❤

Come back to hear this again. Surprising what you see on replays…I see you Akasha, beside Zoran in the background 👋. Hope to see you doing lead soon. I also see you Nikki with perfect hip swing timing to Mario’s drum beat 😉 and so great to see Stefan & rest of the crew with genuine smiles. It makes it all the more enjoyable for us. 👌

[@bluematrix5001]

I am in love with the singer...lovely and her energy is so sweet...and her voice!

[@mikeh7168]

she always brings great energy, especially when she is the main singer..

A classic song from former member of Adelaide band Zoot. While I remember, happy 76th birthday to another Adelaide rock icon Jim Keays, yesterday. RIP Jim ❤️ Great job guys.

[@yurokasportboys9166]

A classic from 1981! Thanks Darren&Cía.

[@dmarx600]

Captain Mullan you’ve done it again! The highlight of my week! Thank you Darren & the Team. Great talent, fun & energy & that brings your videos to an unmatched level. Mr Marino great as always. Grant well done. Stefan, always a pleasure to see & hear you. Nikki, you are an absolute joy & always bring extra special to the mix. Tzan the Tzman!! Crafty, you my friend are an entertainer. Let’s not forget Zoran, great work. Who wouldn’t want to be in that room!!

[@R.B.891]

That's a group of all-stars right there. If you don't have a smile on your face after listening to that song, check your pulse. Well done, mates

A great job Darren covering an old Aussie. And Nikki was so cute catching the 80s vibe behind you. 🙂

[@rickdaystar477]

Oh yes loved it. Lots of energy and the harmony is tight and on the mark. Instrumentally perfect because it's obvious your all having fun ! 🌟👍

[@kylevantassel7259]

As a member of GEN X I have to tell you that you are treading in sacred territory. Much like riding a Clydesdale horse through a sacred burial ground...The songs of the 80s hold a place with us as well as in history , the bands and singers much like familly members for a latch key generation that was out on the prowl trying to learn how to be people. You all nailed it. Passage granted !!! The hotness in the back doesnt hurt one bit.

[@Greg_In_SoCal]

A fantastic way to start the weekend! Thank you all for a killer performance!!!!

Yet another great performance. I once had Rick Springfield in the back of my airplane. The ladies (both young and old) went bananas. He was very gracious and I still remember all of the smiles that I saw. Classy guy...

[@sexyangrykorean9171]

Clean & smooth guitars. And good to see Nikki put a big smile on big Stef's face for a moment, *that was Priceless.* Great bass sound Stef...Big Stef your fans want to see u smile more often just to let your fans know you're having as great a time as much as we are!😀

[@5150nick]

bass player VIBIN'!

[@sharonedeau]

I do like it when Darren gets his eyebrows and 'steel blue' going. Done to death by cover bands everywhere, yet here, invigorated and fresh. Layered backing vocals, so spoilt for choice for that instantly recognisable guitar that you can afford to have Stefan on bass and Tzan on rhythm, and the most excellent Crafty One on lead. Darren's basement studio is an Aladdin's Cave of treasures 💎🎶🎵🎤🎸🥁

[@bobstrunk]

Best band on the internet. Loved the dual guitar part in the solo. Great vocals. Hope the his keep on coming. If I ever get to Australia, which will be never , I’d like to sit in lol

[@californiancondor6860]

7 of the most talented musicians anywhere. Darren's talents are there for all to hear,its impossible to fault anyone but as usual top of the pile is Nikki ,what a voice !God I love that lady but its a pity Im too old and she is taken.

[@firefoxcarranza6432]

It was the year 1981. I was 10 years old. I got on the trolleybus with my mom and the driver had the radio on. there was this song. I loved it, it took me 9 years to make the album, how wonderful, since then my idol was Rick Springfield. Thank you for bringing us great memories of that wonderful time. wherever you are mom.

Another mega hit for you guys. You continue to surprise me Darren. I'm liking Crafty more and more with all his antics and superb guitar playing. Stefan on bass? what a multi-instrumentalist. Back ups are right on. Nikki doing her awesome moves while singing back ups. Really love this one especially as it is an all time favorite of mine. Awesome job. Singit Live is the premier KZbin Channel for excellent music and musicians.

Wow, absolutely nailed it. Great vox Darren.

[@larserickson2862]

That cooked! Great vocals, instruments played to perfection, Nikki and a drumstick twirl, all you could ask for! All the best from Cape Cod.

[@tojj29]

I still watch the HSCC releases, but I have to say, Darrens productions are far superior. Just my own opinion of course, but I am amazed that you don't have quadruple the subs you have. This was absolutely incredible, from all of you. Thank you for posting

[@chisel83]

Build it and they will come 🎼🎹🥁🎷🎸

[@CDK11]

All in time! There's no doubt they'll reach the same level! 👌👍👍

[@ajm6464]

I love both this group and HSCC cause most of them played in HSCC too initially. But I won't say with all due respect that the production of this group is far superior, but it's certainly just as good. Both these bands are amazing, hence I support both.

[@chickeexandar6763]

HSCC lost one of the best Arrangement coordinators I have heard. Oh well, Their loss!

[@danielferrer9464]

Fantastic cover! Everyone hit their sweet spots! Loved how the Chica singer punctuated the shot gun snare blasts with her hips! Beautiful…added to the room’s energy level! SUPERB original ending! Springfield would have loved it!

Absolutely brilliant cover as always. great vocals from Darren and brilliant backing vocals. Great guitar work from Crafty and Tzan, Stefan doing a great job on the bass, Grant covering on keyboards and Mario holding it all together on drums. When Nikki starts swinging those hips at 00:58, I need to go for a lie down, what a singer and what a woman.

[@badbackbatch]

Awesome job! Vocal and lead guitar harmonies in the same song... love it!
