Hoodoo Gurus - I Want You Back

[@pandaeyes42]

My mum used to call this band Who Needs Haircuts!

[@joshuachappell5840]

Classic Mum Joke My mom used to refer to the Jesus & Mary Chain as Jesus,Mary, and Joseph

[@gregmerk427]

Sounds like a funny lady

[@Christerious]

That didn’t age well.😅

[@MiaMeezy]

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

[@peterfogg5151]

Your MOM'S freaking funny for sho

[@jasonokinawa6596]

Saw them in a very small bar in Mobile, Alabama in 1987. Freaking amazing and now going to see them in New Orleans in September! Like Wow!

[@rondempesmeier1845]

Saw them last night in Ft. Worth. Great show!

[@yurix_xroblox]

I’ve seen them in the 80s and the 00s! Goes was their NOLA gig?

[@BertieBullfrog]

Are you freakn kidding me! How cool, what a great time to see this legendary band of ours.

[@BertieBullfrog]

2024?

[@SuperNick090]

I remember playing this cassette over and over in the 80s ! What a great band !

[@christinekronthaler8836]

Me too.

[@TheOrganicApple]

.... Cassettes! Same, same.

[@Nalu_TV]

Absolutely. A GREAT band!

[@KitrynPeppers]

One of my all time favorites, for sure! I saw them

[@dougnbodie]

The 80's Rocked. So many incredible bands

[@Boomeranger]

Saw them in September at the El Rey in Los Angeles. Probably the twentieth time I’ve seen them and still incredible.

[@BertieBullfrog]

A true Oz classic that never ages. Could almost have come from mid 60's era

[@peterfogg5151]

13 & learning how to surf while listening to the Hoodoo Gurus. " Beyond Blazing Boards " greatest surfing video ever "!!!

[@darrenmoses3385]

Can't get hold of beyond blazing boards anywhere!!

[@Nalu_TV]

100 percent. Sure do miss Chris Bystrom, he stayed at our house in Hawaii in the 80s and was a great man.

[@solidshade81]

My dad used to watch that! Glad to see im not the only one who knows about BBB :)

[@dawnenglish2114]

Frickin glad to know I'm not the only one who's into this song..the lyrics are burnt into my brain and I hear it on auto-loop. Also love the playful video.

[@danielcoburn7696]

I saw their first performance in Sydney in a small pub without a bass player and then many times before they released their first album. They were a swampy punk band. By their first album they’d turned into the slick power pop band they’re known today. Viva the early days of Le Hoodoo Gurus

[@guilhermedealmeidafernande7778]

I love this band my prefered. I will watch this guys in Australia. This year (2023) they came again to Brazil and it was amazing after 26 years they are the same!!!! Allways briliant. ❤

[@In_Set]

Incredible song from a great band. I saw them once in the 80s and after they played this, lead singer and songwriter Dave Faulkner said into the mic, "I wrote that." And I was like "Hell yeah you did, dude!" He knew it was a classic just like everyone else.

[@johnwalenski1555]

Luv me some Hoodoos!!! 40 years on,still love this shit!!!!!

[@koolroo8337]

It’s luv me some Gurus!!! Got that wrong once and once only! Said to a DJ could you play some Hoodoos. Bloke said sure thing and put “And we Danced” The Hooters. From that day on I said Gurus only!

[@jamesmuegel4275]

Love this band forever they will always be my Band and in my Heart Forever

[@paulmackay7265]

The greatest video ever made. Good song too.

[@peterfogg5151]

Learning to surf , listening to the Hoodoo Gurus. " Beyond Blazing Boards "

[@andrewrobinson5837]

2024...and I have this record on my turntable = bliss!!!!

[@danamosley]

Saw them open for the Bangles in Six Flags over GA in like 1988 or around then. My older sister and I seemed to be the only ones around us that knew the songs😂💜

[@Gen_X_Amy]

Consider yourself extremely lucky! 😊

[@tedecker3792]

Saw them opening for the Bangles in Salt Lake City, late December 88 or January 89.

[@michaelbelanger9825]

Saw them recently in Boston. Still rockin.

[@kimrileymusic]

Damn, how did I miss that?!

[@johnwalenski1555]

Because back in the day,you'd have heard the show advertised on 'BCN​@@kimrileymusicweeks beforehand!!!

[@streetwiseromeo]

Our fav Guru song from the great debut album Stoneage Romeos! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ernestdavis3237]

Saw em live soo many times. Best night ? A hot, sweaty Selinas , Coogee bay hotel when you could still smoke n drink at the stage. 80's pub scene in Sydney was 👌

[@breakercassidy6946]

0:53 prepare to have this stuck in your head all week

[@deejaaywalker2314]

This is W-A-Y more than just a great song. It's a FEELING.

[@FrontRowPass]

It was great to see you for the last time live in US. You guys were brilliant as always! Thank you! Cheers 🍻

[@ericpanissidi6761]

Mars DOES need guitars.maybe in 2024 we can take them up finally!

[@S595Husky]

Never gets old.

[@stevekravcik609]

I thought I was the only guy to love this band! Little known up here in Canada, but loved by the select few who do.

[@earleagleson5912]

Saw them a number of years back when they played at the Horseshoe in Toronto, Canada. Small venue and they put on an amazing show.

[@patrickburke9822]

Great live, which is always a good sign

[@jonathanborrego8034]

Saw them at The Palace after this album was released. I’ll never forget this album or that concert. Good times.

[@briandwyer1398]

I think I may have seen them over 20 times in my youth. Never gets boring

[@jeffg4686]

Just PURE GOLD. One of my regular albums in high school (way back)

[@Dirtywesterner]

Beyond blazing boards ,Occy doing the sequence at Bells,classic

[@jcost0099]

that surf flick is what introduced the Gurus to me! I was sitting in a surf shop in Corpus Christi TX glued to the screen

[@Dirtywesterner]

@@jcost0099 hell yeah good stuff I surfed the bob hall? pier in the early 90s and I was always impressed by the level of surfing that was happening down there ,very similar to the south eastern coast in terms of life on land

[@Jellybeantiger]

Heard this in The Tote public bar. Nostalgia pangs,what a lovely song. I can smell the beach and a long drive through the Aussie bush on this song,funny how music captures the senses.😂

[@dizasadorableanimals6554]

My favourite Hoodoo Gurus track....or is it My Girl? I can't decide....lots of really good tunes from this band....

[@VauxhallViva1975]

'My Girl' is one of the most brilliant broken-heart songs ever written. But as you say.....so hard to choose, as all their songs are awesome. I think that perhaps 'Axegrinder' was before its time. That song would blow most radio charts now, considering how overdubbed and over-sampled music has become as of 2019....

[@koolroo8337]

coolrunnings You mean The Gurus!

[@koolroo8337]

coolrunnings There was a band years ago called The Hooters so when anyone referred to the band as The Hoodoos and not The Gurus that person was made to buy everyone else a drink! Bourbon and coke thanks Cool Runnings!

[@nursejen3702]

It's a hard choice, both of those songs are brilliant and Bittersweet is one of my faves. Such an awesome Aussie band !

[@nursejen3702]

@coolrunnings Yes, love that one too ! I've been on a Hoodoo's marathon the last couple of days. I hadn''t listened to them in ages, now I can't stop : )

[@mretrain]

I lobbed the way Dave’s “I, I, I.. I, I, I” mixes with the “Ah-AHH-ah” background vocals. So catchy.

[@NaturaBreeze]

1984, a great year in high school 🙂

[@solidshade81]

I was very lucky i grew up listening to these guys :)

[@oinkooink]

These chaps wrote some very, very catchy songs. Without trying to sound like a moron...really well crafted, well done.

[@jasonlaker8723]

Best video ever, Thriller had nothing on those dinosaurs doing harmonies😂 Legendary tune.

[@ericcongdon]

One of my fave forgotten videos. I always thought drummer was the coolest !

[@craiganczelowitz7225]

ah, thank you for that flashback - still holds up after all these years !

[@RohanGillett]

Hoodoo Gurus never get old.

[@usertubeification]

They were the best of the power-poppers.

[@irishpogi]

The background reminds me of that 70's show "The Land of the Lost."

[@samodisho6115]

most underated Aussie band with a cult following.

[@andrewr7001]

Best Aussie band never to have a No. 1 single

[@koolroo8337]

Wow! I’m in a Cult.

[@ryantunks]

I'm drinking the KoolAid

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Underrated band!👌😎👍 I listen to them on SiriusXm first wave radio!

[@CServis]

I saw them at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia in the late 80's. They put on a great show.

[@dannipuckeridge6847]

You are such a brave man luke you are amazing💜hey from Australia👋

[@spikesification]

Loved this song and video from when I was 12...I’ve played it right throughout..I’m pushing 50...brad Shepard was/is the coolest..the orange gretsch is iconic...

[@elscotto9551]

One of my favourite songs of all time, Brad's licks in this song were inspiration for learning guitar.

[@stevenpatricknorton458]

They were touring with the bangles in 86 and played the Arlington in Santa Barbara. The bangles were a known commodity but these guys were much better. I was in the first row at the side of the stage because that's where Susanna Hoff's was standing. The huge speaker was also there. I now point it out that's when I lost my hearing. I was planning on sweeping ms. Hoff's off her feet with my $27 in cash and my AAA card. Noooooooo.

[@Garbo-f9c]

Great band live ,really turned it on ❤️✌️

[@stevetatum4169]

The greatest song ever that no one knows about!

[@markjeffery1697]

Saw this band several times when they came to Christchurch in the eighties BLOODY GREAT STUFF GET PISSED AND JUMP ABOUT AH GREAT TIMES

[@Altruismusic]

There were monster waves of mosh-pit fans at the Selinas show in 86.. it was Guru-mania ! Caught them again at Rooty Hill RSL in 96. Awesome songs ♡

[@MisterReacts]

Oh what a beauty, see you at the rooty.... I remember those ads.

[@s.e.wagger3888]

This one, Wipeout and the classic What's My Scene. To quote Vyvian, "That's brilliant, Mike!!"

[@SuperCroc69]

Just a perfect pop song.

[@CLooLoo]

Seeing them tonight! 😃

[@darrylwiggins1156]

Another good pop song from the band only a dozen people have heard of.I'm one of them.

[@drm.j.ramsden2411]

Saw them at Krackers, Liverpool 1985. Well good.

[@donaldkomarnyckyj5017]

The greatest band ever

[@Garbo-f9c]

Sending a message to myself I want you back ,I'm not getting enough of the digital level ,

[@bondy284]

Have seen them live many times in their early days.....just Brilliant 👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@Tbreezeable]

I remember Stoneage Romeos + Talking Heads Stop Making Sense as the soundtrack for every surf trip 84/85

[@peterfogg5151]

Ironic, started surfing in 84, I was ten. Plus i bought my first 3 cassette tapes that summer too needles to say my world was changing for the better. Talking Heads "remain in light", U2 "war", Gurus "stonage romeos" / surfing movie = Beyond Blazing Boards

[@johns1522]

I grew up listening to these great songs

[@chemistryset1]

some great power pop songs

[@xero6396]

Nice to watch all the vids I missed out on seeing back then.

[@mikecox46]

The anthem for 2019. Please come back 2019.

[@elscampbadurka1569]

Them : " perfect guitar pop doesn't exist Dave Faulkner : hold my beer

[@AllRequired]

You could be forgiven for thinking this one came out in the 1990s. Simon F did this one justice, too.

[@keithhelwig6401]

Fantastic song

[@GoodMrDawes]

What an Awesome Band

[@MiaMeezy]

Love this song still 2023. Best decades for music 70s 80s & some 90s

[@damianmcwilliams2371]

One of the greats

[@andrewdouglass1427]

Nashville, 1240 WKDA, also 91.1 WRVU (when it existed)

[@nickbrutanna9973]

I loved these guys. I already had encountered them on USA Friday/Saturday programming -- They were introducing this song on MTV (you know, back when it had music videos), and the singer and the bass player were on -- and they looked even more like burnt-out druggies than they do here... Bass Player: "Hi! We're the Hoodoo Gurus!" Singer: "On MTV!" Bass Player: "Who are you?" Singer: "And what are you on?" LMFAO. Stoneage Romeos was a great album.

[@lyndylou3642]

The original line up. I miss you Clyde and James.

[@scdingundaroo]

Now that's the real shit

[@croak8575]

this chorus rips

[@frankiesultana3743]

If this was new on the charts today in 2021 it will be top of the pops

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

This was my 1987

[@mebeasensei]

Gotta give the bass player credit.....his hair looked cool in 1984.....now that’s saying something.

[@ericpanissidi6761]

Who had bigger hair, hoodoos or the alarm?

[@johnwoolcock9980]

I want Brads shirt, like the Hoodoo"s It's fucking awesome.

[@badcompanynaestrada29]

Toppppp

[@halenbud]

But what's worse: She thinks it's true But that's just her (She always was a little bit confused!) She's not worth the time I had to lose.

[@ianharkin2691]

Brilliant song, but wow, that hair!!!

[@marc-andre7178]

BON SANG

[@matthewbyrd398]

They look like a bunch of Stone Age Romeos.

Hello, does anyone know which is Faulkner's guitar please ? Thx in advance

The drummer James Baker left after touring the first album back in the mid 1980's. Not sure what he's doing now.

@Warren552011 thank you for your recommendations I have a look

[@catinthehat8412]

@Warren552011 do you like tame impala

[@allbottledup9513]

Seems to be an issue with the west overall, not just Australia. America’s music scene is a mess, England still has some great artists but going downhill as well, I can’t remember the last great Irish artist lol. We just don’t make music like we used to, except for a handful of notable exceptions. Oversimplified, mass produced, with a noticeable drop in talent/skill. I personally think Japan will be the next hotbed for new exciting music, even though I don’t care for what they’re doing currently.

[@shawnuel]

Just realized: these guys were in their heyday about the same time Jeffrey Dahmer was in the midst of his killing spree in their hometown. At least from '87-91.

[@lyndylou3642]

Perth?
