Finn Brothers - Six Months in a Leaky Boat - (7-8)

[@jbro1313]

Love the Finn brothers. I saw them live as Spit Enz in NYC at the Dr. Pepper Music Festival in 1982. Their opening act was Duran Duran! I still have the ticket stub and the program. I had pictures but they're all gone now.

[@TheBigaz12]

most geniuses have a hint of madness in them and these two are as mad as hell , brilliant fellas brilliant little song

[@TheHongKongHermit]

Oh wow. This was a B-side on one of the singles from Everyone Was Here, and I reckoned it to be the best version of this song ever recorded. Never knew it was captured on film. Fucking love random late night KZbin discoveries.

[@jonathannewsum1516]

Truly the best version I've heard of this great song. Neil and Tim together is such a treat.

[@dybbuk67]

It is great to see them enjoying PLAYING the same songs that I've gotten so much joy out of listening to for 3 decades!

[@dgod62]

the 2 voices together are just perfect, for me the male equivalent of the Abba ladies combining so beautifully.

[@09nob]

There are no better harmonies to me than these two.

[@justmadeit2]

Classic song, one of the best songs to come out of New Zealand. Nostalgic

[@runetollefsen7458]

I really love this song. All that struggle the people on board had to go through. To me this is a "crying song", and I do...

[@shaynefitzgerald7928]

Tim Finn has this GOD LIKE feel and presence. He perform's that little bit Extra. Epic!!

[@atilacouto4931]

i luv youtube because i wish i was there and wasnt. absolute magic. Pure class! Truly the best version I've heard of this great song. Neil and Tim together is such a treat.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

I love all things Finn. Have seen both together, separate, original and new Crowed House. Too bad for them they never got the huge commercial success they deserved. But as a fan, am sorta glad, because could always see in small venues....not some arena. RIP Paul Hestor. He was a funny guy and hella drummer. Good for Neil that he will be a able to make bank off this upcoming Fleetwood Mac tour gig. Be cool if they include a Neil or CH tune. Oh thanks for posting this vid, BTW.

[@JodiLilian]

I had to sing this in school as a kid :) great song, the Finn brothers are brilliant

[@jed371]

brilliant little song

[@murray1961]

Not to take anything away from Neil but Tim is so talented those creative skills there was no split enz with out him.

[@bigcountry3413]

Good band, always loved this song,,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍 👍 well

[@RETIRE2024]

THE SMILE I HAVE NOW.......THANK U!

[@RETIRE2024]

AHHHHHH......STILL THE BEST!

[@phillove890]

Neil with some tasty licks and Tim still got the chops! 😊 i love neils voice, my preference i think Tim Finn has this GOD LIKE feel and presence. He perform's that little bit Extra. Epic!!

[@jameswold1434]

Great solo from the younger brother from the same mother. 👍🏿

[@HuntingCatIsBack]

Great to see David Mitchell in his natural habit drumming for a late 80's pop sensation.

[@gardenrescue7607]

Crowded House/Split Endz please come back to Boston!

[@tankhalffull]

Brilliant!

[@parsonsful]

finntastic

[@zdenasumberova]

Super❤

[@stevedrum4978]

Inspired song - if you do a remake I reckon you can improve the pronunciation of Aotearoa. But I do appreciate that this was way ahead of its time by simply using the Maori name for our beautiful country. Thanks you! :)

[@giannisvarsamos8178]

hell yeah i luv youtube because i wish i was there and wasnt.

[@hask2112]

Amazing😎

[@timtams7232]

Love this song so much! It should have been top of the charts in the UK too but the BBC banned it. certainly better than I Got You

[@mikemaxwell9805]

Walter Rorschach Kovacs - The song was "discouraged from airplay" in Britain during the Falklands crisis by the BBC for reasons of morale - it was thought that references to leaky boats was not appropriate during the naval action in the war - bloody stupid reason if you ask me, but that's the BBC all over!

[@aussiespoon2471]

i luv youtube because i wish i was there and wasnt.

[@keithmoon8838]

What a couple of fantastic Australians they are. I listen to this song while eating pavlova and doing a haka. Does it get more Australian than that?

[@Sergiovsousa]

Yes...they are NOT aussies but kiwis.

[@keithmoon8838]

@@Sergiovsousa Don't be silly, it's in the name, Split Enz. Australia is a nation of hairdressers.

[@nickdryad]

I see what you did there. Very ironic.

[@aussiespoon2471]

because they are here!!!!!!!!

[@paulbarrett7797]

I am addicted to Crowded House and Split Enz, there is no one else that comes close to their talent.[maybe McCartney, but as much as i admire him the Finn songs are just so much better.]imo. Check out pour le monde by crowded house and see what i mean[ good version on later with Jools Holland [2007], think it might be the best ever.

[@timtams7232]

I couldn't agree more! Time On Earth was actually my favourite Crowded House album and Pour Le Monde is a masterpiece

[@gillianlefrancois9394]

I love XTC, had all their records

[@nattyhaywood4139]

R.E.M. Losing my religion

[@kyle2skye]

Brilliant

[@Chester22166]

My favourite Finn song 🫦

[@erikhertzer8434]

To think this song was spurred by Tim reading a book about early sea-faring called “The Tyranny of Distance”

[@peternewlands8430]

awesome six months in a leaking boat

[@lindadote]

peter newlands .......”leaky”.

[@xBaconator9000x]

i love neils voice, my preference i think

[@kaseyjoshkaseyjosh3366]

Fucking BRILLIANT........

[@tonykourtesakis8192]

Ahhhhh. Ooooo 0:00 to 0:05

[@daddydoodoo9089]

I absolutely love the first 5 seconds of this song..the rest is damm fine also!

[@klarakrass9160]

🎶🎶🔥🎸🎸🔥🎶🎶⚡⚡🌊🌊

[@replicas11]

It is only natural to enjoy The Finns

[@daffodil800]

this should have been a massive hit in britain, which, despite a lot of airplay, it wasn't. I loved it then and still think it's one of the best pop songs ever made.

[@mikemaxwell9805]

fred flintoff -The song was "discouraged from airplay" in Britain during the Falklands crisis by the BBC for reasons of morale - it was thought that references to leaky boats was not appropriate during the naval action in the war. Bloody stupid BBC

[@bronwynjoyhansen8606]

The Falklands War put the kybosh on that. It was banned by the BBC for the line "the tyranny of distance couldn't stop the Cavaliers, so why should it stop me..."

[@deancooling1624]

Pretty tight!

[@nurultea2051]

Great

[@Nigelxman]

Neil Finn - Guitar Hero! :-)

[@Al-po2oh]

I assume this is a Seaward metaphor for a rocky relationship.

[@klarakrass9160]

3:47

[@aussiespoon2471]

and i didnt really miss out.!?!?

[@09nob]

hell yeah

[@DasFunkwagen]

lol same, it really stuck

[@eduardogabriel5341]

0:00-0:02

[@09nob]

no way dude I totally disagree fucking love this performance, but you're clearly a fan and so I respect your opinion rock on

[@macro312]

How did this song not top the charts? Yet bullshit *artist* churn out rubbish that stays for a month

[@klarakrass9160]

when she comes

[@shawnmc8159]

...and the great Jeremy Stacey on drums.

[@MusicVidsBJG]

Mickey Yep. He was great

[@SuperEdge67]

This song needs Eddie Rayner.

[@blackwoodrichmore4531]

Tim's voice is getting worn, but still OK.

[@richieroma]

Love the Finns but any time I see them the crowd are terrible.

[@richieroma]

oh you are oldddddddddeee

[@mikemaxwell9805]

You'll probably find they've come to listen to the artist (not you or your like)

[@richieroma]

Amazing. It's possible to do both - i.e. listen AND be an enthusiastic audience, move a little, and have a good time.They are not mutually exclusive terms.

[@mikemaxwell9805]

Enthusiasm and having fun is great and I have no issue with that when it is done at the right time but whooping and hollering during songs is really not okay when people have paid so much money to enjoy the artists

[@richieroma]

Mike - it's time to live a little.

[@alannacaley3314]

bad

[@Haroldscross63]

I worship this tune, but tims vocals on this are shite, thin and winey, spoils it for me, singing it in falsetto is bad enough, but a weak falsetto just ends up sounding like a draft under the door. Sorry.
