Do Re Mi - Man Overboard (official video) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@simonmarshall180]

I rate this woman as one of Australia’s greatest voices. Fight me.

[@TrojBlu]

Dei here. This was the first single band cassette I bought as a kid (loved Warning Moving Clockwise). True story of this song is that it was a pure punk song, but the band could only afford to record it on some old '45 inch vinyl, like a 12" single. They finally got a radio station to play it, but they played it at the slower album speed, slowing everything down. The band were horrified, but later, one of the band members started thinking, and listening to the song at the slower speed. The long drawn out sounds, the slower beat. They rearranged the song and this was the result. Their breakthrough song and an all time fav for those of us who remember those early days of the 80's. Thanks Crankin Surf!

No worries, it's such a timesless song

[@campbellmanderson943]

I got to photograph the new all female lineup a couple of years ago, they were awesome. I wish they'd do another tour.

[@dystar112]

@TrojBlu casettes💘 I still have some ❣️

[@markmcallan973]

I had a crush on Debbie the moment I saw this song in the 80s I've been man overboard a few in times🤭

[@TrojBlu]

@@markmcallan973 Good news! A few days ago, I was listening to my old Do Re Mi mix. Expect Warnings Moving Clockwise, Idiot Grin, Alive and Kicking and Under My Skin in maybe 4 weeks or so from now. I just couldn't help myself. :)

Deborah Conway is the lead singer fronting another one of our Australian hidden gems from 80's/90's bands.

[@ScottFord]

I remember the controversy here in Australia around this song after it was released, mainly due to the the line "Your pubic hairs are on my pillow", with some calling for it to either be banned from the air, or for the offending line be "beeped out" (which, thankfully, never happened). A really good, angry song about dissatisfaction within a relationship - I put it right up there with Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" & Carole Bayer Sager's "You're Moving Out Today".

[@ScottFord]

And (the price of typing a reply before the song finishes) I forgot the other controversial lines "You talk about Penis envy" & "like anal humor". There were a lot of commentators who thought that women shouldn't be singing about stuff like that.

[@iankearns774]

A lot of stuff seen as risque in 1985 would be seen as tame these days. She had an amazing voice, I remember seeing them at a pub in Collingwood in the early days. I thought they were a bit arty farty at the time but I got dragged along by a girlfriend as payback when she grudgingly went with me to see Metal bands at the Sarah Sands hotel. I didnt like the song back then but do now.Good days in Melbourne back then, great nightlife 7 days a week.

[@peterdubois65]

@@iankearns774 even Sydney was brilliant back then. So many great venues, music every night

[@iankearns774]

@@peterdubois65 Both competing with each other, the same bands alternating between the two big cities and then going on tour to the other states. Must admit a lot of great music came out of the city of Churches as well.

[@nikkil2580]

Not yo gorget Bombay Rock in Surfers. And the Playroom, the Patch...they were on the regular route too. Good times

[@baymanaustralia]

I loved this song when it first came out but haven't heard it in years. What I notice now is a definite Talking Heads vibe.

[@bjl2343]

OMG your faces at the start when she sings that high note after the slow intro. too funny. Priceless!

[@toniboydston2744]

Thank you for appreciating Aussie Music it was so great in the 80’s all the pub bands. Love from Oz

[@jolla9963]

Well took this Aussie back to a different time with people who are no longer with us, great memories of a great era in Aussie music, saw Do Re Mi as a pub band, before they made it big, they had the bar and lounge jumping.

[@jemxs]

OMG I had forgotten how brilliant this song is!!! Awesome 👍

[@bambiQueenofpentacles5008]

I'm digging all these Australian greats, taking me back to my pub rock scene days, late 70's and 80's into 90's. Cheers!🇦🇺🦘

[@toddjames7]

Wow i have not heard this song for a long time.

[@martyb2187]

So many incredible layers and parts to this song. Keeps you guessing the entire time!!

[@hardnut]

OMG. This not only takes me back musically but I suddenly realised it was portraying scenes no longer to be seen. The clip accompanying the song shows guys at ANZAC Day which at it's height was a day off for veterans to celebrate around Australia and New Zealand. Completely different to how it's celebrated today, it was a day associated with overindulgence of alcohol by who knows how many traumatised men from WW1, WW2, Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam. Loaded with symbolism of patriotism, drunkenness, violence during a time of continuing antiwar sentiments from the 70s. There's so much going on in this clip to do with that era! What a blast from the past. I'm gobsmacked.

[@markphillips3186]

Deborah had one of the great voices. In my mind equal to Annie Lennox

[@jemxs]

Yes she definitely has an Annie Lennox vibe, I had never made that connection before but it is so true!

[@charki40]

I absolutely agree

[@peterdubois65]

Deborah Conway 💜 think she's to blame for my lifelong love of redheads 🤣 would love to see you react to Deborah Conway It's only the beginning

[@GRAHAMESIMPSON]

Great Aussie choices you two :):):)

[@_alifeallmine_]

‘Idiot Grin’ is another great one from this album. She’s as strong live as on record, an amazing singer/songwriter!

[@robbiecarroll5491]

Deborah Conway is a power of feminism and as a male more power to her. ❤️ Her solo stuff is like this superb

[@dalewyatt1321]

Now you've really dated me. Deborah was a model who got sick of the constant "must be pretty" part of the job so she went into singing and acting. Lived down the road from me at one stage. Top lady. I have one solo CD, Bitch Epic, and love it. You MUST listen to the lyrics of this song. Angry lady.

[@7zark785]

Cool song and one of the few without a chorus

[@bigs1546]

Still have that album and crank it up! Also love Moving Clockwise - a must listen !

[@SuzyTrippa]

One of my all-time favourite songs the lyrics were before their time!

[@renssy78]

This is amazing ! Love Deborah !

[@jgsheehan8810]

Ha! I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this one 🤣

[@lesliedavis2185]

Always loved this one, very80s , very Aussie. And yes they are referring to many things.

[@tobyfitzpatrick3914]

Amazing set.

[@chrissneyd9278]

Great reaction Great song

[@brettbridger362]

Bought this way back in the 80's. It certainly showed up the double standard in Aussie society at the time.

[@andrewwoods9232]

I liked the song adulty ....is amazing

[@Glenn-ei3xp]

I’ll second that. Great song 👍

[@doscojones6404]

I saw them in Sydney as the support act for Simple Minds in 1986. We were about ten feet from the front of stage. Great concert.

[@dystar112]

I loved this band as a teen and I loved this song 🎵 ❤️

[@darenwilliams4149]

So good

[@tobyfitzpatrick3914]

Who else is here because they heard this song at the supermarket today? I refused to leave until the song ended.

[@bruceprouse5562]

One of so many awesome songs you forget you love.

[@seanbarry7378]

A great song. Without a chorus. So cool 😎

[@andrewfairburn1892]

Thanks Crankin Surf!

[@1kallay]

If you liked this then you're really going to like the "Adultery" official video. Fabulous song, knockout music and vocals again with a beautiful face study to top it all off.

[@wendygroves8296]

I heard this song once on countdown n went str8 out n bought the single❤️🇦🇺

[@martyb2187]

Deb Conway, such a great performer!

[@haydenwittig8877]

Warnings moving Clockwise was pure goth.

[@RandR55]

No comments on the intelligent lyrics...? Hard to miss them, people. Kick ass song.

[@carolcarol3938]

Have another listen and check out the lyrics....it was a blast being played loud on the radio and stereos....yep stereos!

[@steve--smith]

Deb is sensational. And her sister Shelley is an equally good vocalist. Deb worked with Pete Townsend as a vocalist on his musical. And Alive and Brilliant is another great tune.

[@djizzah]

What happened to all these cool highly original Aussie bands from the 80's?

[@floydster23]

Sure as shit didn't inspire the next generation. Now we've got King Gizz.....and who else?

[@barbararees604]

I actually appreciate this song a lot more than I used to. I think it's because I was upset about all my favourites from the 60's and 70's were disappearing, along with live music venues and bands I loved to follow. We literally hitch hiked to another town to see them, with little to no money and no idea where we were going to stay. Somehow, something always came up and getting away with that kind of thing unscathed was becoming rare. So basically, the world was changing and I didn't like it. 😅🤣 It's a great song and yeah, that bass line 😘👌♥️

I remember seeing that in the movies

[@chrislemoh2019]

Deborah Cobway is a legend and this band were magic.

[@mollymillions5438]

I feel like you entirely ignored the feminist sentiment of this song

[@stuartrowley1981]

Good old Deborah Conway had a pretty good solo career too
