Slice of Heaven - Dave Dobbyn

A great Kiwi classic from the 80's. New Zealands second national anthem.

[@mrtoby619]

I’m a Texan that was living in Mount Maunganui when this song came out and just found my signed copy of Footrot Flats the other day! Damn I miss New Zealand and all of the awesome people there!

[@beausims5605]

Australia better. :)

[@furiousstylez263]

​@@beausims5605Don't compare Australia to New Zealand. New Zealanders are more United than Aussies mate. Y'all are all over the place. Australia is New Zealand 30 to 40 years ago. New Zealand has made peace with family violence since ONCE WERE WARRIORS. Aussie news everyday. Woman being beaten, kidnapped, raped etc. It's a daily occurrence in Australia. N.Z far from that now. Mums and families first.

[@Will.Flavell]

⁠@@furiousstylez263yeah I agree as a Kiwi living Australia I prefer to work with my fellow Kiwis we always get the job done unlike most Aussies want the job done their way which is the wrong way then get hysterical over stupid nonsense which I’m sick of but there’s some good ones which I don’t mind them.

[@markgable3087]

I love New Zealand and I am Australian, there is something so loving and joyous about being there.... I can't wait for the next time I am there.

As much, as an Aussie, we compete very much, Kiwis are about the coolest people on earth.

[@iMaNeRDsc2]

Im a kiwi living in Aus, been here since about 10. I have to say this song makes me miss New Zealand. I see people on here arguing about Australia and New Zealand. We all live in the two best countries in the world. Why do you think so many people come to these two great countries? Gonna be a dual citizen soon, so I can call both countries my home for life. Don't forget the ANZAC's Australians and Kiwi's brothers in arms. We shouldn't be putting each other down :)

[@chrisjsk]

Aaron Moffatt yes Australians and New Zealanders live in the best two countries in the world as if ether of our countries are in trouble the other will come running to give them a hand. i think the the bond between our two countries is so strong that i don't call them Neighbours i call them brothers and sisters.

[@dawngrangerweasley6295]

true

[@mrawesome9219]

As it is down here, all that arguing is friendly banter. It's what makes us ANZACS mates.

[@PsychicIsaacs]

NZ is better. Came to Oz when I was 17, born in Rotorua, now I'm 42 but if anyone wants to know, NZ is way better because it rains there. And the Govt there are not such a bunch of mongerels, and your neighbours actually talk to you. Dad used to say that NZ was the lifeboat of the world and after 25 years in Oz, I reckon he was probably right! Probably started some arguments here but oh well! There we go!

[@PsychicIsaacs]

But to be fair, Australia made me. It made me a tough old bitch! Ha! I guess I'd probably miss the baking heat if I went back to NZ. So maybe there is something good about there being no rain for five months of the year!

[@VeXeDZERO]

It really does make me happy, that as an Aussie bloke, even though we both pretend to hate each-others guts, we always will have each-others backs. Mateship above all else.

When I was a freshie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in '87, a pop station DJ played this record (he'd bought it on a trip to Auckland) for 8 hours straight as a stunt. Someone tattled and CBS Records sued the station - it wasn't licenced for airplay or sale outside NZ & Australia. Sad, because I think this definitely would've been a hit everywhere. It's insanely catchy. The DJ ended up getting sacked. I never forgot this song and thought I'd never hear it again. Thanks, KiwiGhost!

There was a time when a young boy reading the comics or 'funnies' in the newspapers would enjoy his favourite comic in his first language. For me, it was English language. Australian, Nth American, Kiwi, English... nationality didn't matter... what I enjoyed was what I liked! Ginger Meggs (Aussie)and Garfield (US) were special favourities but my favourite and first read was always Footrot Flats from New Zealand. In recognition of its populatory across Australia and New Zealand, the comic strip was belatedly made into an animated movie. I almost shoved my dad into the cinema! All these years later, that singular experience remains in my eyes, ears and soul. To FF fans... "Dog + Jess = Forever!"

Proud to be a Kiwi, Stand up for the 2nd National Anthem 2019 November baby

[@2ne1lovbird]

YOU ARE 45TH IN QUEUE. PLEASE HOLD. I used to sing this to my daughter in 1987 when she was a baby, still brings a tear to my eye

[@robs1467]

a Kiwi classic. I love how music can bring you right back to your childhood : )

Only until a few years ago did i realize footrot flats wasnt an aussie comic. Very similar to the dairy farming down south! Awesome!!!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

The song is a timeless classic.

Australia won the cricket world cup. New Zealand have Dave Dobbyn and Slice of Heaven. Not sure who had the greatest victory there. This song is amazing. So jealous. (Technically Dave's an Aussie now, but there's no way we can steal him. He's a Kiwi and this is and this is a NZ national treasure).

Thankful for the internet. I stream WSFM from Sydney here at work and home in Columbus, Ohio and I hear this song now and then and it's been a part of many playlists now. Opened me up to Kiwi artists ❤

Murray Ball , the cartoonist who was responsible for Footrot Flats died today 12/3/2017 . Talented man who made a nation smile.... Rest in your own slice of heaven Mr Ball. Thanx for the laughter :)

Hey, I got a lot of faith in you I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line Yeah, you have a lot of fun don't you And living with you is a ball of a time Hey beauty when the mood gets you down Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground That's when I gotta play the clown for you Black humour made you kick your blues Howdy Angel Where did you hide your wings Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven Hey, I gotta lotta faith in you I'll stick with you kid- that's the bottom line Yeah, we have a lot of fun don't we And heaven has to be with you all the time Hey beauty when the mood gets you down Your bottom lip's near dragging on the ground That's when I gotta play the clown for you Black humour made me kick my blues Howdy Angel Where did you hide your wings Her love shines over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven Warm moonlight over my horizon- she's a slice of heaven
