Split Enz - I See Red (Official Video)

[@chrisbacos]

I've been a fan since 1980. As an American, I learned years ago that if you meet a New Zealander and tell him or her you're a fan of SE or like the Finn brothers, you have a friend for life.

[@alans9806]

Tell a New Zealander what a good Aus band SE is

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

@@alans9806 lol!

[@miamontii6448]

Probably the same with any Australian :-) a couple of members of this band went on to form another band called Crowded House. You’ve probably already heard their stuff but if you haven’t - give it a try it’s awesome.

[@darricshhh]

My biggest musical regret is that I got into the Enz only 10 years ago. It just wasn't on my radar. I take every opportunity I can to turn people in to this magic. My kids are all fans at 12, 14 and 17 respectively and I feel proud.

[@lynettepaulsen7119]

Better late than never!

[@bonniebickett4520]

I saw Squeeze but never Split Enz live.

[@PEGGLORE]

My biggest musical regret is missing the Tool - Lateralus concert as I had an exam the day after it, so stayed in memorising BS paragraphs I didn't understand instead. It was the best album I'd ever heard, changed my taste in music. My degree was obviously a massive waste of time though. Many regrets..

[@bsadewitz]

Why do I always find the best music when I can't sleep? It's happened over and over and over. It's like the borg is f-ing with me, I swear! This is at least #5.

[@kiwi-moto]

Saw them play back in the 90s when I was still living in Wellington, NZ. I've seen so many big acts over the years, but to see Split Enz popping and pogoing out of a giant paper bag to "I SEE RED " - priceless!

[@nickgates5914]

An ex mate of mine said se where the best concert he's ever seen

[@hmao4466]

Love the chair the drummer is sitting on. Total class.

[@RighteousBuns]

OMG and the little HEY at 2:44 is just the icing on the cake

[@tcellen2136]

Malcolm Green is a bloody Legend, very funny and a good friend...So lucky.

[@paulgrey8028]

Favourite Split Enz song ever since it was released. Fantastic guitar riff. [although they performed some wonderful ballads - I Hope I Never being their best - always wondered why they didn't write more songs along this rock vein] Very talented guys musically speaking. Not sure why it was Tim Finn who left the band to pursue a solo career [ironic how younger brother Neil went on to a successful career] because the sum of all members made Split Enz an excellent unique band.

I am 57 in October 2023 and the first time I heard this song was in 1980 at Glenfield Park School.

I have this album on cassette taped it off the radio station decades ago. I play it in my car....yes 2000 toyota factory cd/ cassette player. CD player doesn't work. I feel like I a am my 20s with tapes in my car LOL

[@bsadewitz]

Lolol this makes my heart sing

[@Fire-Tiger]

My dad took me to a musical when I was 5 and this is the only song I remember from the musical, it's been 3 years since my dad died and this is still one of my favourite memories with him

[@WinnieDaPooh828]

Hey what musical was it?? I'm in a musical right now and I get to play it. Sorry to hear about your dad, I'm glad this helps you remember him. :)

[@Fire-Tiger]

[@keithfinsley330]

A classic. I love the way they move around so hap-hazzardly and they just suddenly disappear at the end. Brilliant!

[@shanemcdowall]

Still got the 45. Kiwi classic.

[@TheLT704]

Why ??? Sell it for $10...😁

[@snailhairdune]

Classic! I remember this since 1979! Such a wild track. To me, the image of the drummer playing while sitting lazily in a big armchair is honestly one of the most hysterical things in rock history!

I jumped for joy when I first heard this song in high school. There had been so much godawful crap on Australian radio over the past few years. In hindsight the melody here sounds very XTC - but, remarkably, songs XTC hadn't yet written.

Um, no. As a long-time fan of both I can safely say the music is only the same in regards to the genre they both get labeled with. Different influences; different arrangements; different mood...not Devo-ish at all.

I wonder if this song would be allowed in these days of Wokeness -- some extreme feminists might accuse the song of encouraging anger towards women. Luckily no such wokeness when this was recorded.
