Haha love at 1:32, we all knew it was comming 🤣🤣 Both great songs from a great band!

[@MrParksies]

Spot on about No Sense. Hold Me Tight is simply about the fact that everyone, no matter of station in life, does IT. Very funny and rocking. Great songs from a quality final album, before re grouping, touring, recording a couple on new albums and touring more. Sadly the drummer passed.....but that didn't stop them. Great live shows. Love your work.

[@colrhodes377]

The singer sounds like he's doing a Sting impression

[@VolumeEleven]

He probably was trying to mimick Sting on this track. I felt they were very much their own group, but there was an ingress of that Police sound that began around 1980 (''Forever Now'', ''Cheap Wine''). They had plenty of their own strengths to go by, but they decided to take pieces from some other band's pie to sell more records, I guess.

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. You want to try something different from Chisel, try "Janelle" from the last stand tour. Best of luck and thanks for reacting, loved it

It's hard to come up with a comment on these two songs. I've always enjoyed them and the parent album 'Twentieth Century'', but they're just part of the Cold Chisel hit list. I will have more to say on the follow up single ''Saturday Night''.

[@sean---the-other-one]

I was caught off guard by these songs being requested together as they’re from the same album but not connected. I think they were actually on different sides of the album. But while they were ok tracks they were nothing special for Cold Chisel. If I was to pick two songs to connect for them it’d be Ghost Town into Saturday Night. Two completely different feels but a great pair of songs that actually run into each other on the album. That being said, Twentieth Century isn’t a true Cold Chisel album - they’d partially broken up at this point, with Jimmy Barnes and the drummer Steve Prestwich having physical fistfights. Steve only played on three songs on the album (No Sense being one of them). Of songs you haven’t done for Cold Chisel I’d recommend: Bow River (studio version) Flame Trees Forever Now Standing On The Outside Rosaline Goodbye (Astrid Goodbye) Showtime Breakfast At Sweetheart’s Rising Sun Four Walls Best Kept Lies You Got Nothing I Want Janelle All of these I would urge the studio versions, but I specifically mentioned it on Bow River as I knew you did the live version. The think to note about Cold Chisel is that, idolisation of Jimmy Barnes aside, he did his best work in the era around their third and fourth albums, East and Circus Animals. While Jimmy did some belter vocals in things like Wild Thing from the Last Stand concert back in the mid-80s, he blew out his vocals decades ago. Don’t get me wrong, he can still sing a mighty vocal, but there’s a reediness to it that just came from too many years of having to sing at redline levels. If you listen to the studio versions of songs you’re most likely to hear him delivering his best nuances. That’s the thing that often gets lost in the live versions, is how soulful he could be. And then of course you have Mossy with his amazing vocals as well. Even without Jimmy, Ian could’ve taken Cold Chisel to the top of the charts year after year, but with the tag-team of Mossy and Barnesy on vocals where Isn would set a song up and Jimmy would bring the third verse in at another third or fifth higher as the lead vocal just set their songs at an unattainable level for other bands.

Both songs were released on one singular 7" record. Hold Me Tight and No Sense came in together back in the early 80's. I've always loved Hold Me Tight, and I still wish the song was longer. Of course, I enjoy No Sense as a tune. The girl in the No Sense video reminds me of a young Kate Ceberano. Probably is!

I know you've been busy, and enjoyed Christmas too. Now you're son's off to University! I've been through the same thing Gililan. I know what it's like when they're no longer school age. It's not something that can be explained. It's just one of those feelings knowing they're getting older. My son's 28 and is his own man. It only seems like yesterday when he was doing his HSC.

Australians seemed to enjoy messing with the skiffle strum for a while. Split Enz , from New Zealand , were notorious for using the maori strum and Mental As Anything had a skiffle approach to ''If You Leave Me'' and Chisel with ''No Sense''. Great sound , should have been exploited more , cool little songs there!

[@OnceWasRStrathfield]

In my personal opinion, I think the next Cold Chisel song that should get a reaction is ''Satuday Night''. The best version is on the RemasteredVersions channel. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras will commence in Sydney on the 16th of February, and I think watching the video around that date would be perfect. There are scenes of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in this music video and seeing that the video will hit its 40th year, I can't think of a better time! Cold Chisel - Saturday Night (Audio + Video merge 2023) Very good quality video!

[@demolitiongirl-ie2rx]

The videos were directed by Chilean artist Eduardo Guelfenbein, who had also done the artwork for the album and the picture sleeves of their singles and the 20th century album, and the rude pictures and paintings that appear in both clips. I believe he is also the angry looking guy that throws a fist at the camera at 2:47. Great songs!

[@stevefoulston]

Lyrically similar to the Cole Porter song Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love, it comically lists groups that engage in sexual congress (Presidents and chauffeurs do it / Terrorists on sofas do it / Movie stars repeat it till it's right). Musically, it is in the style of 1950s rock songs. Tony Cohen, working with the band for the first time said it was, "a rude song about fucking that lasted about two minutes. It was not great but alright." Hold me tight Hold me tight Baby nothing's gonna change this magic night Well energy we've got to burn So open up your mouth and take a bite And hold me tight Well tellers do it Tanners do it The Phantom and Diana do it Politicians need it twice a night Presidents and Chauffeurs do it Terrorists on sofas do it Movie stars repeat it till it's right Hold me tight.

[@shaundgb7367]

This from their album when they were breaking up so assume the really short song was just thrown on the album to get it done. Do not know if that actually went on but noticed as a kid that there seemed to be about three or four really short songs on the album. Really love the vocals on No Sense. Never gave much thought what that song was about but what you described could well be it. Look like just a home video thrown together in early 80s. I think this one of their most overlooked albums. The Game is a track I just threw on a playlist for myself whilst I working early in the morning. From the sane album. Must have listened to it 20 to 30 times in the last month. I should probably throw No Sense on there too.

@@I_was_a_Countdown_Kid-75-83 I will confirm that it is me at 5:58 A group of people had some filming equipment, and one fella asked if he could film me. He told me I had nice legs, which even in 1983 was quite a personal and forward thing to say to a stranger. To get him out of my hair, I allowed him and his camera buddy to do some filming, and I agreed to do some poses. They thanked me, and went their merry way. A few months later, a friend asked if I had some involvement with Cold Chisel. I didn't know what she was talking about because I never listened to the band. She explained that there's a deadringer of me in the latest Chisel video. The deadringer was at Bondi Beach and she's wearing the same clothes I usually wear. I could have died when I finally got to see the video. It quickly brought my mind back to those goons with the camera. The cheek! They never told me they were making a Cold Chisel video! Australia was quite lawless in those days. I spoke about this video to Kaitlyn Batt a month ago, but not being able to recall the song title, I didn't know where to look. Cold Chisel have 79 videos on their official channel, and I wasn't going to go through them all just to find a couple of seconds of me. As the Hanier couple were watching the ''Hold Me Tight'' video, I began to feel dread that it might be the video I was in. Turns out I was in the ''No Sense'' video. I don't care if the director of this video is some artist from South America. My guess is that he sent off some wallies with cameras to film a whole lot of random crap in Sydney and gave this ''artist'' the film-stock, and he just did all the editing. I cannot remember either of the two fellas with the cameras having accents. They were Aussies, and were not members of Cold Chisel. I was 28 when they shot that video. A year prior I was at the shooting for Mental As Anything's ''Ready For You Now'' music video (which was shot at a club), and 10 years before that, I was at Ross Wilson's Mighty Kong concert which was filmed by GTK, and my little face was also captured on that. The Mighty Kong concert footage is on youtube, you can feel free to look it up. I'm the girl with the black hair that looks at the camera. You can't miss me. I suppose cameramen liked me in those days.

I mentioned in your Models clip how I like bands that have different singers, and in this case you not only have that but every band member wrote at least one hit song. "Hold me Tight": is written by their main songwriter Don Walker. "No Sense" is written by Jimmy Barnes For "No Sense" an aerial shot of the beach reminded me of a Ken Done painting and there's a lot of artwork in the clip, but I can't find anything on the net to connect the two Ken Done is also based in Sydney and the clip(s) are heavy on Sydney scenes

It was the song we hated the most on that record (sorry Chisel fans).
