Americans' Reaction to "Cold Chisel - Saturday Night [Official]" THE WOLF HUNTERZ Jon and Dolly

[@Dr_KAP]

It’s really more about Sunday morning than Saturday night- Saturday nights already old at the start of the song. And yes, Don Walker (band member, keyboards) wrote this and he’s known for his brilliant lyrics but also unconventional song structures as seen here and also Khe Sanh, a song without a chorus. Two amazing lead vocalists in Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes really bring this song to another level.

[@20flstfi01]

But no asks what are you doin Sunday morning?!

[@adam872]

Don Walker, one of Australia's greatest songwriters. So many great songs from him over the years.

Brilliantly said….

This.. is it.. This is peak Cold Chisel.. The performance (recording), the feel, the vibe of 80s Sydney's Kings Cross (red light/entertainment strip), the sound, the arrangement.. This song is faultless, and should have been HUGE in the late 80s/early 90s.. This SHOULD have cracked the US market.. and this was basically their last blast at it. Kings Cross was still the same until about 10 years ago, and some of those "bouncers" you heard still worked the SAME strip clubs!!! (and probably some of the ladies too!!) haha The "parade" they are walking through is our Sydney Gay Mardi Gras.. (In Oz, filming in public requires no consent, just a Council permit. The premise of "privacy" is negated by the fact you are "in public". We generally try to not show faces using framing and MUST blur kids etc.. but you can always get something on video)

[@stevegraham3817]

It's more of Saturday night is over, the clubs are either closed or quiet, and everyone is heading home, and in this case, contemplating life along the way. As we do, half drunk, and wondering why we do it week after week.

[@adam872]

This is a terrific song. The arrangement is just immaculate, starting off quiet and thoughtful and then it explodes briefly, before falling away again. Mossy's vocals are top drawer too. And yes, it's King's Cross in Sydney - a renowned night spot, though some would say infamous.

[@jaynehamilton8261]

My favourite Cold Chisel song, thanks for reviewing!🤟😊

[@stevenparker4277]

The greatest band that can sing anything. Janelle next😍

[@jenniferhearn4117]

Beautiful song written by Don Walker about missing his daughter who was overseas

[@mnewm21]

Like a good Saturday night the song just wanders around with no real direct structure!!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks for the reaction guys, love this song

[@julianaFinn]

Saturday Night and Janelle are two of my favourites and so cool and soulful

[@kazz3956]

Lyrics here (the falsetto at the start you liked was Jimmy, but Ian does take the lead on this one) Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night (oo oo oo, oo) Saturday night (do do do, do do, do do do, do do) Saturday night (do do do, do do, do do do, do do) Saturday night (do do do, do do, do do do, do do) Saturday night (do do do, do do, do do do, do do) Saturday night (yeah yeah) Saturday night (oh) Saturday night (woo, oo) Saturday night Saturday night already old I can feel, the same old cold Cigarettes to ease my mind Tell me what you like, no I don't mind Show me a light, your company Goes a little way to help me see The path on which I'm bound Rather than the things I leave behind I got the keys to the city Baby I can feel my luck I've got two days' money If you light me up This heart will shine on "L'esclavage D'amour (It) will be ours forevermore" Words we both recall Either from a lover, or the law And Saturday night, my prayers (steps) have shown I can walk away from all I've known Goodnight, my friend, goodbye Remember (you know) what they say When you're alone, laugh or die Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night, yeah

[@petebegnell9480]

Great song, excellent video.. As a teenager I wasa regular at The Cross in Sydney.... Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights... I remember the old guy who played harmonica... You got the vibe right, we often just wandered the streets.. (In between drinking & visiting strip clubs, of course)

[@paulbirtles2807]

Was the harmonica player David Blight?

[@tankosaurus]

I have a love/hate relationship with this song. It's a great song but you can't say (or hear someone say) Saturday night without wanting to sing "Do do do do do do do" and once you sing that line, that loop "Saturday Night do do do do do do do" is stuck in your head for the rest of the night, if you're lucky... usually the next couple of days...

[@JasonD_]

“Well if you don’t like it why you standing there for 20 minutes “

[@bendover1525]

Yes it's the old Kings Coss in Sydney.

[@shaundgb7367]

I remember this song was out around the time I started listening to music as a kid and sadly Cold Chisel had already broken up so it was on an album which was basically heard after they were gone as a band so never heard a live version of most of songs from the album until two decades later when they reformed for some tours. The Twentieth Century album is so interesting as a result as many fans of Cold Chisel do not mention many of songs from the album. But It a brilliant album to listen to and so many of the songs are quite different. Some of songs are very short it almost like the album had a few quick songs added just to release it as a full album.

[@TheChalkette]

Yep, a typical saturday night in Kings Cross in Sydney in the 80's featuring the many interesting sights and legendary venues such as the Bourbon & Beef and multitude of strip clubs on Darlinghurst Road. Some seriously, sleezy dives back then. Chisel were at the their best in the 80's & 90's and always better live.

[@nnoddy8161]

Brings back SO many memories of the '80s.

[@bodybalanceU2]

that video is a window to how the famous kings cross in sydney in the 1980s was like most nights

[@ValerieKerr11]

Filmed in King's Cross Sydney where I spent most of my Saturday nights in the 80's.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

That would've been wild times mate!

[@carolynh8866]

Great reaction to one of my favourite chisel songs ..thankyou Aussies don't necessarily conform to standard song structure. Just about going with the flow 🤟

[@GeeeEm61]

No consent forms required. It was only Sydney in the 1980's.

[@meni8015]

Great reaction to one of my favourite Chisel songs.

[@philipsmith5088]

Kings Cross in Sydney. Inner eastern suburb.

[@waggafletcher]

You can still hear that mournful sax sound in the wee hours of Sunday morning on the streets of Sydney.

[@user-sr1kc6jj2b-p1q]

I'd recommend watching "The Last King of the Cross" to pick up on the King's Cross red light district context for this video: set in the same place but just a few years after. LOL - consent forms! There was none of that palaver in the 80's!

[@kyliemull3709]

Filmed in Sydneys suburb of Kings Cross back when it was very seedy

[@craigedwards2940]

Australia has it's own 70/80's L.A 🙂

[@veaton77]

My favourite Chisel song!!!!

[@tobydow1]

One of the great songs

[@Notric]

Loving the Aussie stuff! Can you please check out The Drones - Oh My (Live in Sydney) | Moshcam. The lead singer is an old work buddy of mine. We worked as roadies for a company in Perth. One of the most awe inspiring guitarists ever.

[@renssy78]

My fave chisel song !

[@jemxs]

Maybe my favourite Chisel's song!

[@renssy78]

This is all time 🥰

[@JohnBurns-e3e]

You really need to listen to Kevin Bloody Wilson !!! Lol !!! He’s an Australian Icon !!! His latest song is called: International DILLIGAF Day !!! Lol !!!

[@mitchellbeston1033]

The footage is of Kings Cross in Sydney and it was actually filmed during the Mardi Gras, hence the numerous friendly men in the footage.

[@andysparks1973]

The band was huge . The Americans tried to 'sign them" ,. The 'admins and front desk "of a major record label literally ran away from them in LA.

[@chilloutrollercoaster8363]

Hype music 🎶🎵 from the 80s 🎉😂

[@markwaters3050]

LOL... consent forms? If Cold Chisel had advertised the fact of this filming they would not have been able to move! Us Aussies a bit more chill with public filming... unless you are actually a focus of it. But then again, most would've still done it for free entry to their next gig, and a chance to brag about being in the clip!!

[@bossdog1480]

Australians don't really like being put in boxes when it comes to most things. 😁😁 The lyrics are a bit muffled. I'm only catching one or two words in parts of it. It was the eighties, probably no consent forms. People would be GLAD to be in it. I would say Kings Cross in Sydney for sure.

[@justinsullivan6410]

There is no consent needed,it's the public domain

[@80sOGRE]

And Ian walking thru the Devonshire tunnel up at broadway Central. @3.39. Sure doesn't look like that these days, has led screens all over it now.

[@markducote9437]

Kings Cross, Sydney. Nightclub, red light district, seedy part of town , bit tame these days . I lived there for a while .

[@jaynehamilton8261]

Am a huge Nirvana fan, but these guys seem to have mastered the soft verse/loud chorus thingy earlier .... Dont come for me 🤟

[@AndyFNQ84]

Great song, great reaction , thanks guys

[@bodybalanceU2]

elton john brought out a song called "saturday night alright for fighting"

[@j-1159]

Smooth as it gets

[@lesgl]

No consent forms in those days..lol

[@BrettWilliams-n1c]

Go cold chisel. Plus Jimmy solo

[@MariaBM1]

Can someone confirm for me -- is the falsetto early in the song Ian or Jimmy?

[@lesliedavis2185]

Jimmy

[@davesheville2023]

It’s Ian for sure

[@bodgiesteve8849]

Darlinghurst Rd, Kings Cross, Sydney. Middle of Sydneys red light district in 1983.

[@peterlinsley4287]

Kings Cross Sydney in the dark days sex and drugs . No permission needed it was the 80's.

[@jamesw4895]

The good old gritty days.

[@timkyle800]

The album is 20th century.

[@groznytoe3398]

Kings cross Sydney

[@dennispower5362]

[@antheabrouwer3258]

[@nahbruv4024]
