[@MrSintch]

That bass carries it ... again. Great memories,

[@TheMotiveDJ]

Played by Robert Hughes of Hey Dad fame. Now a convicted sex offender of course.

[@mickfitzgerald6247]

Saw them at Hoadleys battle of the bands when I was 11. Loved em! Great Aussie Band.

[@ruthmuran1244]

[@malcolmstubbs3981]

Great memories

[@stevecrocker6904]

I loved this back when I was 14 and into bubblegum. In reality this was to get them some cash and airplay - they were a country rock band - as was seen once we rolled over into the 70s

[@Anthony-zz3qy]

The lead singer if I'm correct was into Hot rods. His car was on show 2023 last month May Rosehill race course , in original paint and condition after 60 or more years, remarkable , and what a song from our youth:)) ❤

[@craberlocker]

Great song, always enjoy hearing it.

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

My favourite song when I was young.

[@stevewiles7132]

Just love how the Bass is the lead instrument.

[@madmarsupial]

Perfect job for the Rickenbacker he's playing. Same as on the follow up single La La.

[@JohnCran]

Song for fast skate at Inala Skating Rink back in 70s

[@adventuressurvivalinthailand]

Never heard this song before, but it had a great bass line

[@johnslaviero2080]

What a hoot!

[@scarey2me]

Bass carries this song. What a great bass line.

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

Great song!

[@iainbuttler8674]

great to hear good music

[@venderstrat]

When I was a kid, loved this.

[@helenhoughton7838]

Love it!

[@kiethblack3870]

This band's name is interesting because it's the same years Monty Python's (Flying Circus) TV series premiered!

[@lyndawaterson7957]

I was 9 but always loved this song never knew what it meant but still liked it

[@rondent7713]

I bought this single and my little sister flogged it from me.

[@reedbender1179]

🤣

[@MrAMYJACK]

Had my 1st thing after a Albion Park concert by these guys 40 years ago. Kaye Daley come back all is forgiven

[@collick100]

Why isn’t this song on iTunes ?

[@robstermclean4467]

Our very own Bubblegum happening!

[@richardgibson8073]

Cover of Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Pity they had to do this stuff. Great band. I have an autographed copy of their first album and still love it. They out-Byrded the Byrds!

[@LynNuttall_poparchives]

And Flying Circus's "La La" was another bubblegum song from the band that first recorded Hayride (before Gary), Saturday Morning Cartoon Show.

[@blueycarlton]

However, they wrote their other hit "Run, Run, Run"

[@kiwihib]

Deikaction covered it in NZ.

[@pamelahay6242]

Ironic, given that lead guitarist Doug Rowe was a Kiwi. 😄

[@AndrewNewZealand]

@@kiwihib The Dedikation? Upper Hutt band?

[@alwearne2026]

Great song, incredible memories brought back, but film clip has almost a David Lynch aspect. Still, i can remember 33 1/3 RPM as one of many stacked records and listening in Hi-Fi stereo!

[@ORIGINAL-FLYING-CIRCUS]

Interesting Band name 👍🏻

[@kennethosborne6497]

Brilliant band. Sadly short lived.

[@frederickherring4550]

I bought the Album and the single, What year that was I can't recall

[@michaelrose5614]

1969

[@MrColinwil]

first band I went to see

[@williamvasiliou5096]

Hey ride....Oh yeah !!

[@johnjohnson4628]

And what about the crowd?!!!

[@MichaelCartwright-v8u]

Classic 0:10

[@helensyme1756]

Ron Martin favourite

[@frederickherring4550]

But we don't talk about that bass player do we?

[@Mike-jh7zh]

Catchy score from latish 60s I remember . Of course 90pc of the studio recordings by these minor bands are actually performed by the Wrecking Crew and this one fits right in THEIR sights!

[@blueycarlton]

No, it's an Australian recording. Run, Run, Run was their best (IMHO) and an original.

[@ceeemm1901]

Australia's "Ohio Express"

[@robmorris7128]

Flying Circus live played The Byrds etc. I'm sure this bubble gum pap was just to get hit records and commercial exposure. Axiom were the same. Shit pop releases like Arkansas Grass yet live they played more Rhythm & Blues.

[@alanstrom2221]

I think you have a valid point Rob.

[@michaelrose5614]

True of Flying Circus...nothing wrong with Arkansas Grass.

[@faywardrop8449]

Who was I kissing in that clip?

[@Gertzy41]

Molly

[@dontcallmeindymorning]

Creepy. Wonder where Penny-Annie finally came to rest.

[@chrismeighen5463]

Robert took the kids for a hayride and now he’s behind bars.

[@AndrewNewZealand]

Yeah......THAT guy. HeyDad was hayriding and getting away with it until finally.
