Top quality bogan dancing - back then it was Sharpie dancing. This is Daddy Cool performing "Eagle Rock" at the Australian Concert for Bangladesh in April 1975. As you can see, lots of fans in the audience got into the music in a very particular way, doing a lot of Sharpie movies.
This kind of dancing was immortalized by Michelle and Ferret on the comedy show Fast Forward in 1992 and it is a nice look at the origins of Australian Bogan Culture. Lots of mullets and smoking to be had here.
This video was edited together using "Retro Rage" footage of the Concert for Bangladesh. I compiled all the examples I could find of Sharpie dancing into one video.
Edit March 2013: It IS Alan Pentland! Thanks to misslouise67 for emailing Alan for confirmation! - เพลง

Apparently the concert raised 5 cartons of VB and 3 packs of Winfield Blue for the folks in Bangladesh.
I dont think they had Winfield blue in 1975 only red
Kids of today would be standing around with their noses buried in their mobile phones, looking at instagram pics of what their friends ate for breakfast.

What there miss’s had for breakfast
Maybe because they didn't have a phone that they could stare at all day back then. They actually look alive.
I was so intrigued by this clip and yes I thought that was Alan Pentland too...so I emailed him (thank god for Google). Lovely man, he replied and confirmed it is. Ferret rules!
Pretty sure both of my parents were at this concert. Dad was 15, mum 13 and they wouldn't meet for about another decade. Tickets were $2.50.
I remember a sharpie in grade 6 at primary school, threatening a teacher with a pair of scissors because she’d caught him going thru her desk & handbag, during morning recess. Funny thing is, he went on to become a member of Victoria Police 😂
Most of the crowd looks like they are waiting for a medical appointment.
Yeah. Melbourne folk all looked a bit like that in the 70's
Tough crowd 🤣🤣
still waiting g for their medical appointments 50 years later
😂😂😂
Dear God I remember that dance so well. No one's gonna own it now
I realise I do it at parties but I just thought I was dancing but didn't realise there was a name to it haha! and I'm nearly 38 :P
I was the same age as most of this crowd but living in Sydney back then. A long haired surfie/hippie type. I saw this on TV and as a result I never visited Melbourne until the 1990s. OMG.
Funny as, thanks for sharing, I remember those days in Melbourne well!!!!
OMG! - I never realised Michelle and Ferret were actually doing the Eagle Rock!!!!! This is an epiphany event. Love the clip what with the old bloke and the smokes everywhere
This is a friggin awesome clip. I remember wanting to go to that concert, but my mum wouldnt let me. Some pretty cool skinhead dancing going on there in connie cardies and treads ;0)
I just hope Bangladesh appreciated this
OMG! Memories flood. This stylin usually makes an appearance after I've had a few bevvies.. It lives! in the privacy of my friends parties.
I can recall my friends and I dancing like this way back in the mid seventies .. but we were neither Sharpies or Bogans, it was just the way a lot of young people danced in those days. I love this video 'cause it brings back so many wonderful memories of the '70s :)
Lynn Postlewhaite @ 0.12? LMAO @ ASIO guy @0.47. This is gold. Thank you so much for making my day posting this.
This & Sharpies is a side of Oz I never knew , but immensely adore...❤
Saw Daddy Cool the first time they came to Brisbane, played at the old Triumph Picture Theatre at East Brisbane, many journos in the audience including Mike Higgins (of Brisbane TV fame) to see what all the fuss was about regarding this band from down south
Hi Sophie. The footage of the Australian Concert for Bangladesh was broadcast on Rage in 2011 so it's quite possible that the ABC owns it. I have re-edited the footage to highlight the sharpie dancing so you won't find this particular video anywhere else but here.
And of course, Daddy Cool owns "Eagle Rock"
Sharpie chicks look tougher than the blokes
True that, you knew when you were smacked by one of them >..
I nearly got mugged by a couple near flinders street station 1974
dji zzah they were!
Probably out weighed them by 20 kg
yeah tammy those were the days i remember them well, it was such a great time back then we had sharpies where we lived in a suburb of melbourne,treads:? iloved em!! and "the sweet" everything was easy going,everything was cheap 20 cents for a pinball game at the local fish n chip shop,now the world has turned to shit.long live the memories of the 1970s in melbourne.
Proper. Kids enjoying themselves and not a fucking phone in sight
woah! so proud to be Australian !
spot the *undercover* ASIO dude at 0:46
Very hard to pick out, as he blended in so well.
i so remember those days
0:47 - Not Impressed Old Guy is Not Impressed..
Poor bloke, he'd be long gone now lol
undercover ASIO agent
Think actually remember some of those Sharpie dolls! Scary times shaking in my boots!
Big day trip out for the girls from Winlaton i see haha
i forgot about that place .....those girls were something else
This is so funny but looks like a blast!
we were all young and thats just the way it was .. lol.
I bet their parents told them they looked stupid dancing like that and looking back i think they would now agree 🤣
A few bevies! Such a sharpie thing to say, awesome!
My housemates mum is an old sharpie and she says bevies and dances like that too!
Brilliant!
Well, at least while they were dancing, they weren't fighting !
Yeah,or stealing money from 13year old kids....
Great quality footage! Where's the whole gig? More please!
Agreed. If you really scrutinize this clip, you can tell it is from 1975. But the video quality is absolutely incredible for something close to 40 yrs ago.
Beautiful
First time I’d ever seen a guy in makeup and I was thrilled there were such out-there people in the world.
Fabulous
The dancing seems on an appropriate level for the band, I would say.
A dancing style before ecstasy came on the scene...
Oh my God!
Now I remember why we kind of steered clear of sharpies - not the most elegant of creatures - bless them 😂
Sharpies!
Ha! The irony of it all! Saw 'Daddy Cool' 30 years later at 'tsunami benefit concert' at the "Bowl"
OH YEAS THE DAZE WHEN MELBOURNE A HAD THE BEST GEAR--ON THE QUIET HEY?
I thought this was a fast forward send up....and then realised it was real. Omg
That was radical! They were serious young insects in those days. OMG is that me in the flares at 0:39?
amazing
That's not even bad. At least there aren't bra straps and bulge everywhere. Looking back on today's rock concerts... Now THAT will be funny!
Gold
Most of the crowd looked soulless. It’s amusing to think of nearly all these people being in their 60s now.
I love those girls in the background at 0:41 They are really going for it!
Those were the days
Kinda sad that I missed out on sharpie chicks as a Gen Xer.
YES!
i'd put money on that that was Ferret in the crowd
SHARPIES!
Happy Australia Day!!
The folks in the crowd are thinking wtf.
This interested me. I vaguely recall Concert For Bangladesh. I grew up in W.A. and sharpies were more of an East coast phenomena, not much in W.A. But it seems like a mixed crowd and I dont remember sharpies being much into daddy Cool. though I could be wrong.
I want to go back in time.
I was there....
Ripper. The old gent presumably chaperoning one or more of the many sweetly-feisty-looking young Sheilas looks old and weathered enough to have seen action in New Guinea, or possibly Kalgoorlie. Love that dancing, the popular locomotion equivalent of the class Marsupial. It seems to fit better with 'Flash' though on the other video that makes use of this show's audience footage.
back then good clean fun sort of LOL
Crazy Prospector Dance for the win!
0:58 the origins of industrial dancing
Bogans were too busy headbanging to dance like that.
When did Daddy Cool play in Moe?
Not overburdened with grace, them.
Daddy Cool were great. But looking at the audience it made me remember why I pissed off from Melbourne.
Could be the next big thing on tiktok after the chopping board dance. What is a sharpie?????
No-one had eyebrows in 70's 😂
Bwahahahahaha nice moves! Who invited Lord Winterbottom at 0:46 probably thought it was carols by candlelight hahaha
Oh no... Next time I have a few too many drinks I won't be able to stop myself having convulsions like that.. LOL
Pretty interchangeable with a Midnight Oil concert.
The hell?... I never knew this existed???
When every day is a bad hair day.
Was that stuff the washing machine, do the washing or fill the trolley?
Sharpie? first time I heard it.
was this at the concert at Sunbury in 1975?
fast forward sure did take the piss out the sharpies
and not a Bangladeshi in sight, 🤣. Thanks misslouise67 confirming that it is Alan Pentland in the crowd?
Funny, Ross Wilson trying so hard to excite the crowd but most (excluding the sharpies dancing) are all just totally inactive! Funny.
lol sharpies dancing and look how young Ross Wilson is
They're wearing staggers and cardigans with the stripe from a shop in Coburg, they're skinheads not sharpies.
Margaret Jones what a spunk Ross is, met him afew
That's how sharpies danced in those days.
Why do you think Magda Szubanski aka Michelle, could dance so well like that. Because she was a sharpie herself in her younger days.
She certainly wasn't a skinhead.
I am not Australian, but I became fascinated by Sharpies and their culture especially the way they danced - it kind of reminds me of how sailors danced the hornpipe Compare with the Sharpies dancing with the Hornpipe sailor's dance: th-cam.com/video/R00hTz9srto/w-d-xo.html - like an old sailor kind of dance and Australia being populated by many sailors I wondered if this dance here was a hold over from that kind of dancing or it could have been home grown out of thin air. Australia back then was still kind of isolated but not totally (I assume). I can watch them dancing for days. Fascinating.
***** I know it sounds crazy but to me the dancing looks like old sailor shanty type of dance. It is both bizarre and fun to watch. At one point they are twirling an imaginary chain like I saw cartoon characters do from the zoot suit era.
***** Glenroy
***** I saw some other dancing and the guys looked like they were gut punching an imaginary opponent - so that explanation makes sense. I also like the idea you were tough guys but had to dress well. This matches the way I grew up in the 80s when getting your white sneakers stepped on and scuffed by another guy would mean a fight in the club. These days to be tough means you dress like a bum.
+aranyik knives I don't like or dislike sharpies - I am fascinated by them because they did have an impact on Australian rock music which I am a fan of - l like discovering rock acts that were huge in the English world that never made it to America.
Thanks to all who commented back - gave me an excuse to watch the dancing over - I mean it is the worst looking dancing moves I have ever seen but they thought it was the hippest thing!
Bogans for Bangladesh? How times have changed.
AWKWARD dance moves, LOL.
Bogan Pride livin' strong in the 70's at the renowned Myer Music bowl....I can Shazza, Gazza, Mick and the gang all suckin' on ciggi's?...Bonza. But hey, where's the biff?
Granddad seemed to like it.
It's important.
hahaha! I really do 'dig' these youth - he must be thinking!
a lot of people are sitting motionless really, with a few sharps chicken dancing
Yeah, how about those Dads, sitting stoney in the crowd? My old man used to do that - insist on chaperoning me, to ruin the atmosphere and then afterwards griped about how he'd missed the races... ;)
2:24 and 2:28 Girls from FTG High. Jenny Larsen? Michelle?
surfs sharps stoners & some old people
yeah they are called Sharpies...
evolution from sharpies to bogans
Whats going on at 0:35?
Wait a sec, I thought Australia was "always" multicultural? Guess not.
It was but those born in Australia as this lot had were settled in and more predominant. Migrant families had stricter rules
Yep all my european friends were still living by the rules of their own cultures. Many parents lost the battle eventually.
@@charliedekadens3348
Plenty of anglo-Aussie parents could be strict and veru old school, too. They weren't all The Brady Bunch.
Having strict parents isn't always just a migrant thing.
Viscount 10's, Marsala, Para port.
Were these people from earth or another planet? What the fck did I just watch.
respect for free people , freedom has no price !
Sidney Myer Music Bowl!
