Best song ever from The Mentals, IMHO .. An under-exposed classic !

[@alanstrom2221]

RIP Greedy. Great artist, great human. I always thought this was one of their classier songs.

[@Lilolilism]

I relived my Viking spirit at a party on Saturday - couldn't stop singing this song!! Viking love show!!! classic

[@lostlakeOR]

Liana Markovich Haha. Awesome! It brings out the inner Viking in us all. I love this song so much.

[@brucekilby9957]

A great video of a great song. RIP Greedy Smith you will always be a Leg end. 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺

[@chamberpot969]

A real belter. Saw them at the Save Luna Park gig in 1980, brilliant. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@tikdoph]

Seeing as how no-one seems to have mentioned it here, while Greedy Smith usually took lead on most of their songs, Martin Plaza sang lead on this one.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Best Mentals song - without a doubt !! Pete's writing here is top class. Listening with headphones shows just how well the song was performed & mixed. Pity the video does not use the full 3:51 version!! Tiger.

[@308V8HZ]

Man that bass line ........I got no words !!

[@deanlaffan2390]

Such a brilliantly bonkers track ..

[@gregverity9533]

Dead right thats why their called mental as anything.

[@mervcargnali]

Reg Mombassa is GOLD

[@stuartcox6395]

Love that big old Dodge Phoenix “longship” Reg is driving, complete with battle damage on the rear quarter panel! Saw the Mentals many times live in my youth and they never disappointed. R.I.P Greedy.

[@sospeciallyme9096]

Great song. Loved it!!! Still do.

[@JGrandcourt]

R.I.P. Greedy. The news triggered this song, my favourite Mentals song. Greedy you will be very much missed.

[@kazbah1217]

Love these old music videos with silly buffoonery. People weren't afraid to be silly in front of the camera.

Welcome to Australia, where we try not to take ourselves _too_ seriously.*😋 *Unless your name is Yahoo Serious.

'Berserk Warriors' by Mental As Anything Bjorn is just a viking He is very handy with a sword He loves nothing better Than to cut and slash right through a horde Mutilation, jubilation Friendly muscles, in a tussle.. Anna's a girl viking She is very handy with a spear She won't wear silk stockings Armour-plated garments are her sphere In the fjords, you can hear them Eerie horns blow, viking love show Bjorn and Anna earned their leisures They have each other for their pleasure.. Bjorn is on his long ship He and Anna fought it out today He says it is their Waterloo Vikings shouldn't mix their work and play All that blonde hair for them to share So much plunder, cut asunder Now when Bjorn and Anna see each other It's on the battlefield, not as lovers.. Those vikings love to fight and play Fighting berserk warriors hey hey! Those vikings love to fight and play Fighting berserk warriors hey hey! Those vikings love to fight and play Fighting berserk warriors hey hey!

[@ewetoo]

This song was a shock when it came out, nothing like previous Mentals.

[@lostlakeOR]

Yes, it's the official video. It should be on one of their video album compilations, perhaps 'Monumental As Anything'.

[@richschultz6814]

Brilliant man...just pulled this classic up on a road trip in northern California, and wondered about visuals. Of course, Bill Dickens provides. A big up from this side of the Pacific, on behalf of those slamming seafood meat with sharp blades!

[@lostlakeOR]

Happy road tripping! As it happens I’m down under right now for the holidays. I pulled this off an ancient VHS tape. I’m happy it survived.

[@paulmac8634]

Safe Travels... Thx for the Music..

[@yupeeter9411]

Also seeing the advent of the Chads and Stacys before almost anyone else :-). But not the "Incel Rebellion", as nobody even in their wildest nightmares could have seen that coming.

Some Viking warriors went into battle wearing wolf or bear skins. These warriors were called 'berserkers' because they went 'berserk' (out of control) and charged fearlessly into battle.

Is this the actual video?

I dunno, but there was an actual shit-taking around 1:30 :)

[@georgestuartcunningham2196]

Nice song. Have you got any more music max videos?

[@lostlakeOR]

That’s the one and only. It probably comes from The Noise

[@yupeeter9411]

Ok, it's not about the Chads and Stacy only, but also about Denmark being the first country in the world legalizing porn (and then of course also about Abba - Bjørn and Anni-Frid being one the 2 married couples in the band - and Anni-Frid is not from Sweden, she's Norwegian).

[@alexr137]

Bjorn was actually married to agnetha, not anni-frid. It's about their relationship.

[@stephenbrookman9018]

R.I.P GREEDY.
