Mondo Rock are seriously underrated, they were as influential in the early 1980s Aussie music scene as INXS, Cold Chisel, Icehouse etc. Ron Wilson is a song writing genius. I was a big fan of those guys as a teen in the 1980s and I still come back to hits like this every now and then.
These Melbourne lads were one of the most stylistic acts in Australia during the early 1980s. Though they disbanded in 1991, their music lives on as one of the iconic music of the wonderful 80s.
Me too, except we went to the golf course to get balls from the creeks and dams which paid for all the Winnie Reds we could smoke cause selling smokes to kids was all cool at the local corner store back then. All while playing the pinnies and space invaders , every arvo after school. Anyone under 40 has absolutely no idea what was the norm, everyone got bullied , nobody drew the attention of the local cops , cause they'd flog ya when you stepped out of line, if you got a smack in the head you probably deserved it but what happened before cctv and mobiles , was just bliss and people knew how to keep their mouths shut and were real friends that even now talk every week and just laugh at todays PC crap that people call a life. haha
@@davidrichardson9146 haaa, winnie reds. How Australian is that mate?🤣 I'm not a smoker, but yeah when I was a young bloke I did naughty things with me mates like trying smoking such as Winfield reds, Alpine, PJs. We even rolled our own out of bamboo type stuff with dry grass 😊. Also had an old XP falcon we used to bush bash given to me by dad as it ran out of rego and wasnt renewed, could barely see over the dash. But we learned driving skills and the responsibility of getting under the hood. I remember a common occurrence was the linkage (on the tranny, 3 on the tree) would pop out and we'd have to stop, pop the hood and put it back in (we were 13). The local cops knew and visited us one day and just told us to be careful and have fun. Kids these days wouldn't have a clue. Different world mate. 🇦🇺👍🦘
@@CatWoman6 I live in St Kilda East and saw Ross Wilson in Balaclava Woolworths at the checkout one day...I'm 48yo and low-key worship this guy! Felt like telling him that but didn't want to be 'that guy'...
Been to heaps of live gigs, pubs, arenas, festivals etc, but the single best live show I ever saw was Mondo Rock at Balmain Leagues Club in about 1982. They played all the hits and - importantly to me - they looked like they were really enjoying playing. Then they came back out for an encore and brought the house down with "Eagle Rock"
The lyrics is and the music never grows old, just a timeless period in our lives. The Artist gave us something to remain young in our minds, even when the mirror reminds people otherwise, except myself of course. Just can’t understand why that gorgeous young thing who looks very familiar walks right past me. I’m sure it was the girl in Frankston who said, come surfer boy take my hand, let’s go down to the sand. Surely I haven’t changed that much in 60 years? And gave Ross the idea for the song later in 5he 70s. Perhaps, it’s the haircut being too short. Wow, what a dream, her granddaughter sure looked like her.
I was transferred to work in Newcastle in 1981. Stranger in a new town but made some great friends and one night we all decided to go see a new band playing at the Lake Macquarie Yacht Club. They were called Mondo Rock. Can't believe how good that was. What a fantastic night. What a fantastic band. Loved them ever since and when I hear these now OLD tracks it takes me back to those memories. ❤
Takes me right back to when I was 21 and living in a flat in Whistler Street in Manly.Brilliant memories. Went out on a working holiday visa from Wales UK. Got a job in Cockatoo Island, working on submarines.Ferry to work and the hydrofoil home. Surf, 2 mins walk down the Corso .Awesome times. Great Bands around.
Wow, I lived at 17 Whistler St, Manly in the early 90's. Real good times. I first heard of Mondo Rock while I was doing my basic training in the army in the 80's.
Come Said The Boy is also a brilliant song. Regrettably they weren't big here in the UK so I didn't find out about them until recently thanks to TH-cam.
Well now, at least you are able to enjoy and respect great music, longer than those of us who who grew up with it. Enjoy and make the most of your life, you can turn the clock back, and we all catch up with each other in due course. Respect those that paved 5he road ahead for you and hopefully those following you shall do the same. All the best.
@@ajs41 One of the top 3 most iconic Aussie song ever! It never grows old, as every 16 plus male reminisces along with the song and every 30 plus male wishes it was him the song was about. Nothing stopping anyone from being that surfer boy and the end of School, with Summer in the air, eh! Even in the UK. Chick and the beach, two out of three ain’t bad. All the best from Aussie.
@teledine Fair question Voyager- "Water over the Bridge" is a great and they are from Perth too. "Anchor" is a pretty good song by Birds of Tokyo (Aussie too). Devin Townsend makes unreal music as does A Perfect Circle. But generally all of today's younger music is crap that I'm aware of. Do you know any good stuff that's popular on radio today? I don't listen to the regular radio stations.
They were so God damn cool this band. Pop and class and talent and style. Ross Wilson is a fine singer. What more could you ask for ? Another fine Aussie band from the 80s.
Once again , when ever I’m sad and drunk , this is the ultimate time trip back to 1980, man , I miss 1980 ‘s and a time when , there was one butter style and one type of milk!!!!! Miss the purity and the awesome pre - global warming summer days/ nights , just the whole era , before everything turned to shit because of 5G , TECHNOLOGY and of course, corvet - 19 !!!!!!! And everything 2000’s Sooooo glad to have been growing up in that era !!!!!!!, especially Countdown on Sunday afternoon !!!!!!! Channel 2 ABC , Tears, I shed !!!!
And now it's the summer of '21. All those contrasting background graphics and square shapes were typical of the commercial art back then. Great song, great clip, great album.
Memories of that Summer 81 Holiday on the North Coast of NSW. Surfing, Getting burnt, Hot Chips, Moove Milk, Winnie Reds, Royal Reserve Port, BMX Bikes, whatever was going on we were in it.
One of Australia s most underated bands , The Song is not about Nuclear war as mentioned below but actually about signing or not signing with a particular agent or sub agent to gain access to a very popular aussie show called Countdown , hence the term sign up or go underground Daddy cool was rock side of Ross Wilson But Mondo Rock was by far his best musical side in my humble opinion
It was indeed about Nuclear war or the end of the world due to one and the nuclear fallout that followed. I heard them *(Mondo rock) on a radio interview 2 nights ago stating that very fact. I forgot the writers name but he said he had a nightmare he was on a flight and he looked out the window and saw a mushroom cloud out over melbourne then he looked to his right and same thing over sydney. That was the inspiration for this song. The interview was for their 40th anniversary of their debut and 1st hit single "fugitive kind".
Brisbane here - yes that was us nuking Melbourne and Sydney, but actually these days both cities have bounced back and are the same dirty urban sprawls they were back then, but have also replaced the population with migrants.
@@GerasaBod Actually those were settlers and convicts, convict/settlers. Actually if you want to get technical though, Australia has been filled by migrants since the first aborigines set foot here and started sending species extinct. Damn humans.
Man, the 80s were good. I listen to this and I'm reminded of musicianship, lyrics crafted with the the passion that creates the poetry and humans with the real ability to sing without autotune.. Seriously good to listen to Mondo Rock, it doesnt get old it just sounds better every time I hear it.
Man I just can't figure out why we can't get fucking great music like this music anymore, and I'm 16 , and I HATE todays music, its just rapping about bitches, money, weed, and sex, with shitty disposable lyrics and a crappy generic beat, I hope one day this type of music will be resurrected and we will finally have great artists in mainstream!!
Your comments are correct, however, the swearing is unnecessary. Therein lies the problem with today’s music. So much of the content is unnecessary, just like swearing to get your point across. Try it!
Remember clicking the fingers like these guys in the gym at school …in Jan 82 while this was playing. Didn’t do much in the charts I don’t think. Great memories
My mate Max saw these fellas at the Middle hotel, FTG, in the summer of 1982. So many great Australian bands from this era! What happened? In Victoria, probably the Labor party and no investment in public schools. Art is dead in Australia now.

They are still performing.
they are all individually creative and were a fantastic combination. Ross is extremely "artistic" which can be difficult for othets
I agree listen to them on a regular basis.
Just love this, I was 11, collected cans, bottles with me mates, rode a bmx, went surfing in the heat. 1981, great year.

So true, I'm 65 now, and watch and search out them often on TH-cam, love them
I`m from South America (Uruguay) and i love 80/90`s Aussie pop-rock
Aussie music in the 80's was the best

Yes
2SM was THE hip station then before MMM loomed
Lucky you. My dad listened to 2CH! Loved those early 80's days.
Haha even had a surf report
Was sick in those days
Car keys,wallet,wax & the old twin fin
80s Aussie rock is a genre in its self
drater 29 the Ross Wilson also from the 70s with eagle rock ofc
For sure. Why was it? So many good bands and songs.
Sounds like American early 80s Rock
That is very true. Early '80s especially.

I was a kid in the 80s in Australia beautiful time
What an amazing riff, just a fantastic catchy tune.
the production work is breathtaking too
last year of high school ,great summer memories
A year before we were married, such a wonderful tune,,... still married, next year our 40 anniversary.

perfect party song of the early 80s...watsons bay sunset
Love this band, love this song, just splendid! And loved 1981 as a kid : )
From an incredible album full of tracks like this...sublime stuff.

Saw them do this live a Sawtell RSL Club back in '83. Awesome. Love the bass riff
Timeless classic

This song is way ahead of its time. Sounds more like a 1985 summertime hit.
Agree 100%. Amazing how different in style this is compared to their 1983 hit Come Said The Boy.
I was just listening to "Come Said the Boy." Incredibly brilliant.
Will this song be rebooted in 2081? I hope so because if it is then it means humanity is rich enough to enjoy this frivolity and joy.
I discovered it today and I'm loving ittt, the bassline reminds me of Barbarism begins at home by the smiths :o

Not to mention that Adam Hills sung for them as well. :P
Do you mean the guy that looks like John Blackman - Hey Hey It's Sat etc etc?
+VK kasvou lol!! a young version ..
Loved it then ,love it now.
I really hope this gets played on new year's eve 2081. Only 60 years to go.
This song's timely release as a single in the second summer of 81 always makes me think of that period. I was 17, and life was just getting into gear.
Forever Classic only an Aussie can appreciate
I love Aussie bands :)
What a anthem..so chilled.
Great. Surf beats...

I'll be handin' you the ashes
I wanna thank you for-or the game
We stood on the balcony
And we watched it toge-ether
We were modern men and women
Who changed like the wea-eather
We were one day goin' hot, the next day goin' cold
One day growin' restless, the next day growin' old
Waiting for the countdown, in the summer of '81
Sign up or go underground, in the summer of '81
There's no time for leather
And there's no one on the floor
So I'll pretend that we're together
I don't want to go alone, no-no-no-no
We stood on the balcony
