Split Enz : I Got You (rare clip)

[@vandalorianvandalorian4769]

Split Enz were way ahead of their time. Still are.

[@teinananai865]

I'm a Proud Kiwi living in Oz for the past 10 years, it gives me so much pride to know so many people world wide loved Split Enz. When we were kids we always had to change the channel when Split Enz came on TV because it scared the shit out of my younger brother, but they were just AWESOME :)

[@thedrummingkangaroo3263]

"Loved"? I *still* love them!! I'm from the U.S. & have been a fan for nearly 40 years ❤🙂.

[@2degucitas]

Did he get over being scared?

[@2200Z]

@Teina Nanai You'll be happy to know that I loved these guys here in the American state of Nebraska. If you picture Alice Springs on that bigger island next to you, you'll know what the folks in L.A. and New York think of us here in Nebraska; a flyover state in the middle of nowhere. But, never-the-less, we had cable TV and MTV back in the early 80s and these guys were getting heavy rotation on MTV. And, I loved it. What a great band. Here's a remixed extended version of this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWm0ioZvlNN7Y5o

lol I was the same as your younger brother. Used to leave the room (*

LOL

[@notimportant8120]

84 kid here, grew up in Porirua NZ. Always loved the music, but never treasured this band until now.

[@jamesradski9082]

These guys split enz were so interesting for there time, Its like a vaudeville act blended with a punkish newwave synth pop twist to there sound.

[@DavidMichaelMarek]

yes, still fresh!

[@joeyricci3796]

James Radski - Tim and Neil Finn were the founding members here, as in Crowded House. They started both bands, and we're key members in both bands

[@kenclark9888]

This is probably the best song by a New Zealand band from the 1980s.

[@saanzacs]

The Split Enz song that truly mattered the most

[@MultiEviscerator]

Great song, and certainly a video of this hit I've never seen before. I can only assume back when videos were in their infancy, certain self proclaimed experts thought this montage would be the big ticket to their success. Instead the stop action video was great, and fit this song perfectly.

[@richardpeetrinpeetrin9817]

Iconic "New Wave" song, here!!😊

[@cootmaster]

this was ok the original w the frame i like better

[@MultiEviscerator]

@@cootmaster I agree, and because of your comment I decided to watch this again. Something I noticed this time was the clapping at the very end, which leads me to think it was on some TV show they were performing on, rather than the official video release. The song is good regardless, but the video with the frame was much better. Still I appreciate this rare video, as they are always interesting.

[@karenroberts6435]

I wish I could go back to my childhood and see these guys over and over again that was such awesome times ❤

[@blueberryriver3220]

Simply awesome New Zealand band. They did the Kiwis proud . They were so original and so talented

[@philspivey7976]

I love Crowded House and have just started to revisit the Split Enz back catalogue...and WOW! I'd forgotten how good these guys were, even in their early days. Love it.

[@Andrew-ki5jz]

No matter how much time goes by , this is Still a great song and as ever, great band and crowded house fantastic,they looked they had a lot of fun making this video the expression's on their faces are brilliant

[@arrakis8320]

I love the sound emerging of the keyboads. It's amazing even years and years later, it's like a first time

[@docsavage8640]

Neil Finn has more musical talent than any 20 contemporaneous bands you'd care to name.

He’s written a few good songs, but Tim’s were way better.

Watched MTV all hours waiting to hear this song

[@leokimvideo]

wow, a 35 year time travel moment, I remember watching this on TV as a kid and youtube delivers again as a kid I did not like this song, but as an adult this song sounds so strong and seems to improve with age

[@TheJulianifyBTS]

+leokimvideo I've always loved this song, even if it's 36 years old

[@Davez621]

Hmm weird. For me the song has the same effect now as a 35 year old as it did when I heard it as a kid. Never gets old.

[@leokimvideo]

When this song came out Countdown's Molly Meldrum raved about it. Back then I was into Kiss and DEVO and strangely Adam Ant. It was also the time of AC/DC Back In Black album. And that was massive.

[@frightfoo8440]

leokimvideo ofc you prolly didnt like it cause it was scary as a kid :)

[@imasonofadeadbeat2928]

Yeah after all these years of rap and hip hop bull shite (sic) this music sounds even better today than then. Don't it?

Sure miss the 80's. pure energy back then

This rare clip is even better than their original music video.......I love it

I was just thinking that I love both versions and can't pick a favorite- this is my first time seeing this video.

[@livinlifetothefullest2750]

@@ABB-ln7qu i'm having fun trying to figure the middle part, the guys walking on the ceiling (i know) but near the end the guys on the floor are they trying to replicate their "hang from the ceiling/floor" as well

a song thats last through the years!!! crank it up everytime!

[@kanealoha]

Such talent. These guys were amazing!!!

[@jimmbear3998]

Such a cool look and sound, love the suits they are wearing, where can I get one like that? Considering this was 1980, they were so ahead of the times. I love the cool synthesizer solo that goes from 1:48 to 2:05 many years later still haven't heard any other band duplicate that unique sound. Music was so much more innovative, creative, surreal, dreamy, and melodic back in the 1980's .

[@SandraBonney]

Noel Crombie created their suits

[@ABB-ln7qu]

@@SandraBonney He sure was talented in designing their suits- they look amazing in both videos for this song.

I can't look away when Eddie Rayner is on screen, he was so freakin' beautiful.

[@permaveg]

It never ceases to amaze me how the mass fail to recognize how great the Enz were, so much shite around in today's music but the Enz some how have been over looked in musical quality and originality.

[@permaveg]

***** Keeping the Enz a secret seem's quite easy it seem's.

But we are quite many who really LOVE The Finns & co. And I'm from Sweden, as far from Kiwiland as you can get (almost) :)

[@chopchung]

As A British teenager of 15 in 1980 I was fully aware that my countrymen had had the music world by the balls for decades..Beatles,Stones.The Who,Elton,Rod,Fleetwood Mac, Bee Gees,Sabbath,Zeppellin,ELO, Bowie,Bolan,sweet, Roxy and SO MANY others in SO MANY genres of music from Rock'n'roll through pshycadelia(stoned spelling!)to Heavy Metal,glam, Punk/new wave and whatever.Only a fool could deny it and given the smallness of UK and it's population, certainly in comparison to the mighty USA, we Brits have certainly made our mark.HOW WONDERFUL it was for my teenage self in 1980 to come across what I consider to be the "Holy Trinity" of "New Wave" or @ least the "popier" side of what New Wave had become by 1980.The three singles that make up that trinity were by groups who would NEVER make the UK top 40 again, whether subsequent singles deserved to or not.They are three hit singles that I have NEVER tired of playing and doubt now @ a rather mature 55(!) that I ever will.They are (drumroll please)......3) 7TEEN -THE REGENTS (UK)...2) ECHO BEACH-MARTHA &THE MUFFINS (CANADA) and, "My lords, ladies & gentlemen" the MIGHTY NUMBER 1....I GOT YOU- SPLIT ENZ (NZ).Three gold nuggets that make "the Mother country" justifiably PROUD.(Cue "stiff upper lips" and saluting of regal Queen Victoria portrait!!). Neil Finn is quite rightly held in high esteem by both British and international musicians and, as others have said, he has done NZ proud.

[@musicman920]

100% unique in every aspect...What a great band....

[@blzbob7936]

Their stage antics could easily distract you from their music, but not me. Yes their antics made me smile, but their music was so well composed it raised em up above most 'pop' bands. First saw them in the UK in Preston 1978. Admired them ever since. Chuffed that 'Crowded House' went mainstream and made money, but miss the old Enz line up. But I'm an old guy now (64) so I'm bound to reminisce.
