And they still sound great in 2018.

This may sound strange to some but I searched for this song for 3 years. 3YEARS!! I know of the hoodoo gurus but never listened to them. One day at work I heard this song play on the radio. I didn't pay too much to it but at the same time it stuck with me. And by the time the song finished I really liked it, bit it was to late to Shazam it or anything. The only thing that stuck in my head was the chorus but To be honest I wasn't exactly sure what the lyrics to it was. I could only just remeber the sound and rhythm. So I couldn't google it or anything, it was just a sound in my head. For the next 3 years I listed to the radio at work hoping this song would come on again. Every now and then the radio would play 2 seconds of it or something before it cut and went to something else. It was so annoying. But I kept on trying and hoping one day I would finally get it. I've never wanted to know a song so badly and to listen to it. Long story short, today at work the guy on the radio said "coming up" and played 2 seconds of this song and then went to an ad. But I knew this was it. So when it came back on I quickly shamzed it. finally after all these years!!!! I found this song at last!! AND ITS SOOO GOOD.

[@talksolot]

OMG for the love of god! I remember when this song played on the radio in the 90s. Hardly seems possible it was 22 years ago.

[@davidsouthey2261]

Yes to more bands like the Hoodoo Gurus.

[@WeAreWEiRDOS3]

Yes to more bands like the Hoodoo Gurus. I never knew that Hoodoo Gurus did this song, I always hear it on tele, but never knew.... greatest live band in Oz history, always on point

[@philly0768]

Thanks so much for posting this! These guys were one of the awesome Aussie bands of the 1980's!!

[@GarySUPERTRAMPER]

HOT SONG! ... How about a radio station that plays nothing but great Australian music right from the birth of Aussie radio! ... Rock to Country and everything inbetween!

[@mickeymousebiker1]

This tune is a sweet musical retrospective of the late 1960s. Hopefully, a new generation will bring it all back. Love the wah-wah and the short psyche guitar riffs. This tune reminds me of my old garage band days (1965 -- 1966). So, I'm "old." But, looking back, oh..., how the neighbors hated us.

[@Megwoi]

one of the most entertaining live acts around....saw them in a club in Toronto....they had the amps turned toward the band....cranked...took 3 days to get my hearing back...awesome

[@ThePunter29]

One of the greatest guitar riffs in Australian music history. Hendrix WISHES he could come up with a riff that good!!!

[@dabble778]

lol

[@loncey-vaughanbailey-green1753]

Lol H did a milli times better with his teeth. Hater maybe racist you are. Lol:)

[@mikewallner1]

Haha. That’s a stretch but it is a sweet kick.

[@bleikrsound6127]

The young girl dancing is the daughter of the drummer.

[@canariancat]

I always wondered who she was because she looked so young even back when this song came out. I played this tape do death when I was a teen and still have with me now as a woman about to turn 46. It traveled with me wherever I went.!

[@ShakesperesSister]

Can't get over how awesome this is

[@anniebabeblues]

Oh many memories of Cardiff Workers club back in the 80's and the Hoodus good times indeed

[@joshtaylor8695]

saw them earlier this year, still sound just the same as back then, great band :) WOW!! hippy free love outta sight!

[@connorduke4619]

greatest live band in Oz history, always on point

[@jasoncolley7490]

In a way I agree, did it mainly for love music doing alot live gigs rather then selling there soul's. Bloody madman LoL

[@mickeymousebiker1]

With this one, I'm "wah-wah'ed" all the way back to the year of Easy Rider, the lunar landing and Woodstock. The guitar riff (with the people dancing under the parachute) is king tone, baby! This is outta control and brings back some of the best memories of my life. Break out the lava lamps, the liquid light projectors, the strobe lights, the parachutes and let's do it all again!

[@meltonio6709]

I have 4 speeding fines because of this song.

[@mattpoochi6964]

Meltonio I drifted down many of gravel and dirt roads listening to this in high school. Glad we’re still here to share our experience! Kamikaze Pilot’s also made me fly! 😎😊✌️

[@canariancat]

@@mattpoochi6964 I played the hell out of this song back in the day.

[@FokkerTISM]

I remember seeing this on Rage when I was 9 or 10. The "MISS FREELOVE OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINE!" bit has stayed with me all these years.

[@SLYGARR]

I saw this video in 1980 something and loved it.Thanks for posting this.

[@bobdwilliams]

Awesome syncopated rhythm!!! I can't stop chair dancing...arggggggg! Totally underrated band. Excellent post!

[@Telstar62a]

One of the best shows I've seen. They came through Portland on the 'Crank' tour and I had the most fun I've ever had at a gig.

[@jamesmawk8581]

[@veronicabrasil2667]

[@bobbypet]

Absolutely fantastic Australian rock, they were great live, listening to any of their songs just brings back such vivid memories of that time

[@mutley74]

She is the daughter of the drummer, apparently she begged him to be allowed to be in one of their videos & it just happened to be this one.

[@RavenMacy]

That explains it , thought that might be the case or something similar

[@Dreadandcircuses]

The Hoodoo Gurus' drummer must not have been all that familiar with Hoodoo Gurus songs.

[@Mito125RR]

Absolutely! What a wonderful tune.

[@GrandPunkTrainwreck]

I'm pretty sure our paths did cross a couple to a few times, I believe we had some mutual friends we partied with. I was nearly always at Max's back when they had live music, what a blast. Those were some great times, all of it...well, what I can remember of it ;) How crazy that our paths cross again commenting on a vid by the incredible Hoodoo Gurus of Oz posted by a cool person in Europe? Strange wonderful world...Cheers to you & the old Fells Point, hon!!

[@brendawaugh7511]

@billycooke80 you're a bloke with a nice sense of humor. Thanks for share. Best!

[@brettok52]

Yes, remember a Cardiff gig, also the 16 Footers, Newcastle Workers, some little club in the Hunter Mall, a big barn down on the wharf near the Brewery... must've seen these guys a dozen times! One of the best live bands ever. Dave was/is a mountain biking fan too, and met him several times through that; he came to a big party we had on a farm and watched me dj'ing... great guy.

[@SyndiCat1]

saw these guys play near Santa Barbara, CA, in the late 80's...they rocked!

[@kls4270]

[@brettbasil]

Searched this out and was happy to see the video. Aa all time fave!!!

[@Praxxxis1]

They were outstanding in concert. Very under rated.

That guitar riff at the start blows me away.

[@bernardwebb3284]

Singular my favorite rock song of all time. Can't explain why. Just is.

[@dudleyparkfmx336]

Absolutely excellent in concert. Seen them in a pub in Kalgoorlie, brilliant. It was just the taxi ride after the concert that Dampened My Day. But that is another story!

[@moisiemo]

Fantastic tune - jeez they wrote some good songs!

[@darrelgarard7014]

i have always loved them.

[@walterfechter8395]

Wah-wah to Infinity. This tune makes me wish I still had my old Cry Baby wah-wah peddle. The guitar is what makes this king tone. The percussion is precise and tight. Next up : Born To Die (King Kahn and The Shrines).

[@paulinkorea]

Yeah ... Wouldn't put my 11yo up there ... Wonder what she thinks of it now, though? ... I bet she gets a giggle out of seeing it ... Amazing vid, awesome song!!

[@noteatpig2getha]

Do another check - "It was released on RCA Records in February, 1991;"....I doubt that they released the video four years before the single.

[@Swampbouy]

THANK'S M8!! I"m feeling better now.

[@playstation1980]

As a kid I always thought this was Mystery Love. Works just the same : )

[@roadglidered]

My 2nd favorite song by these guys. The 1st is A Place In The Sun.

[@rangothedog]

rango digs this. it's funny and colorful with fantastic rhythm guitar work.

[@RohanGillett]

I still love the intro to this song lol.

[@mickeymousebiker1]

In my opinion, the lead singer looks a bit like an older version of Elijah Wood. This tune is king tone! A great tribute to what was left of the psychedelic sound of the late 1960s. Some of the very best in "psychedelic" sound was created between 1965 and 1967 (prior to, and during, the so-called Summer of Love).

[@Telstar62a]

@TheFrazer84 It's one of my theories that bands with a decent sense of humor have a tough time in rock; something about "not taking it seriously" or "not respecting the Majesty That Is ROCK" or something. It's okay for boring, established acts to have a giggle once in awhile as long as it's generically "fun", but ones that are just naturally fun or even not "serious" have to work many times harder and don't get as far as bands that work the same themes -- Lovin', Rebellin', Rockin', etc.

[@jonasreus]

thanks a lot for the post, nice done.

[@rekrage]

saw these guys in Liverpool [UK] in 1989. They rocked their arses off. 'Magnum Cum Louder' and 'Kinky' are top fuckin albums

[@stevenm0007]

Yeah good stuff, well this music was goin down when I wasn't born. So I missed my era!

[@jeffersonc3455]

underrated with not enough USA exposure.

[@totterdell]

wow frodo kicks ass as a musician XD

[@ronanrogers4127]

It’s weird that it’s now been longer since this song was released than it was from 1969 to when they recorded it

[@algieturas612]

I remember Molly Meldrum reviewing Bittersweet & saying these guys were gonna be big.

[@DownunderDaz]

Just for the record, pardon the pun, Kinky was the name of the Album this song was off, and the promos used the album name quite a lot. I don't know what other cultures think the word Kinky means but in English/ Australian it used to mean Alternative, Hip, Trendy. In the 1960's most people wore Kinky Boots and there was Nothing sexual about it. Unfortunately today it seems to mean Perverted.

Illusions was released on "Temples of Boom" October 31 1995. The gurus released this in February 1991. Other way round I think :P

[@tnpsc2122]

Ahh, those lost drunken, druggin', fornicatin' Fells Point weekends. Friday Night Videos man! In 1991, 1969 was 22 years ago... in 2013, 1991 will be 22 years ago. Whoa. WOW!! hippy free love outta sight!
