There's apparently a great double CD Hoodoo Gurus collection out but I cannot possibly find it in America here anymore. Not even in NYC. It's sad. I have to order it soon on EBay or Amazon. That's if I can even find it.
I think they are rated quite according to their talent and the quality of their music. They only had about three or four big hits - and they are great songs - but they don't compare to Crowded House, Cold Chisel, INXS etc in regards to the number of quality songs they have. They have had plenty of success and recognition, this song was on Thank God Your Here. They are not underrated.
@@DumbBaby not at all skewed.... it's a God given fact. The younger one is the less they know and therefore, less to stress about. The 80's were a grand decade for some, especially for myself. It was the age of "new". And, even though we didnt know it at the time, the 80's would lay the ground work for what would happen for at least the next 40 years. Have a great day. I'm gonna go close my eyes and miss the 80's again.
Oh my goodness......I heard this on WXRT in Chicago back in the late 1980s. I never knew what it was called or who performed it. Google was not part of everyday life yet..... so this was on my TH-cam feed and WOW, what a surprise!!
Geez we had some great bands over the years, these songs remind me of the end of high school and starting work as a fresh green kid with gnarly hard working guys. They were a soundtrack for my youth and it was a good carefree time. The Hoodoo's were one of my all time favourite bands and were amazing. They had such great songs and a really awesome fun vibe. Even as an older guy now I still love playing their songs on guitar and listening to them
"What's My Scene?" is a song by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released in March 1987 as the lead single from their third studio album Blow Your Cool!. The song reached number 3 in Australia.
Blow Your Cool is a great album from '87. It got a lot of airplay on the college radio station on campus. I remember the Gurus from when they toured with the Bangles a year or so before this album came out. Bangles did some back up vocals on this album as well. Awesome band, highly underrated here in the states!
Curto pra caramba essa banda, eu mesmo sendo nascido em 94, me sinto como se tivesse feito parte desses som da década de 80s, a vibe é indescritível. 🇧🇷
Might be because a lot of the bands still believe in making it fun. Used to love reading their album liner notes and all the references to "junk culture" (that is, lowbrow pop culture, not a drug thing)
Because so much of AusRock in those days was fun or sounded fun and upbeat. We didn't take ourselves too seriously. Looking back, it reminds you of a time when we were all carefree, young and thought that anything was possible, and our music reflected that. It's what we all desire in life.
Hey hoodoo Gurus i have to say i first heard you in 1986 while we were supposed to be playing tennis at high school and they were playing your music over the loud speaker .. and i thought yes on so many levels and i know its hard sometimes to understand yourself but after seeing you with julia and just talking dave faulkner that was a gift and its all bitter sweet in the end but the gift you and your band have given us is remarkable and irreplaceable so dont forget that...and im gonna jig now to your music..Sometimes the most complex people are actually really kind and real ...

And another thing I've been wondering lately Oh, baby, Tell me where have you been? Now the stage is set Where's my Juliet, baby? Is it maybe My Midsummer Night's Dream? What's my scene? Like a talent scout I'm always checking out new blood Oh, I'd do good If you tell me your game. Playing Solitaire Doesn't get me where you would And, honey, you could Play by any rules that you care to name. What's my scene? (I gotta know) They say, yeah, they say Making love, you can make it pay. They say, yeah, they say, But we know there's a better way Any day. And another thing I've been wondering lately Am I crazy To believe in ideals? I'm a betting man But it's getting damn lonely. Oh, honey, it only I could be sure what I feel. What's my scene? (I'm dying to know) I'll never know. Well, I concede I've been caught in someone else's scene (but that's not me). Where, oh where, oh where can my scene be? Please answer - me What's my ..?
I met these guys once when they were playing in a bar next o the restaurant I worked at and we were catering for them and I had to take some dishes to them and had no idea who they were and one of them went to take the food from me and I thought it was just some random old dude and I refused to give him the food until another person came over and said it was for him. Found out later who they were and felt like a dumbass. They were nice about it though so that was good
I just brought one of their albums back to Korea (cleaning out mom’s basement - been living abroad over 25 years). Bought a record player! Grew up in New Orleans in the ‘80s where they were played in clubs.
This is a song too really get your vibes jumping out of your skin. We know theres a better way. Anyday. And im glad i can play ▶️ it any day. And get that feeling of shooting a curl. 🌊
For years I forgot about the Hoodoo Gurus.
Today I remembered.
Happy day.

One of the most underated bands ever.
criminally
Big time

right up there w the replacements, Husker Du, Big star, Fountains of wayne,...
A great Australian band so underrated but whose legacy will outlive us all.
they are active
They are touring 2024
No one does power-pop as good as the Gurus. NO ONE
This is a hell of an Aussie anthem and reminds me of many enjoyable years living there. Puts a massive smile on this Kiwis face!
My favourite Hoodoo Gurus song. Hello from Malaysia 🇲🇾
If this isn't played at my funeral I'm not showing up.😆
😂
The days where more happier and less stressful back then, great memories!!
What's so stressful about your days now??
That's because you were younger.
Only seemingly, in retrospect. I fall for that one sometimes too. The good feels from the music paired with distant, skewed memory
@@DumbBaby not at all skewed.... it's a God given fact. The younger one is the less they know and therefore, less to stress about. The 80's were a grand decade for some, especially for myself.

Just heard them on xrt today
One of my all time favourite bands -Australian or international!

My favorite band of all time! And being 65 I've heard a lot of them.
"What's My Scene?" is a song by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released in March 1987 as the lead single from their third studio album Blow Your Cool!. The song reached number 3 in Australia.
Should have been number one. Still rocks today in March 2024
Fabulous band - timeless music. I feel happy whenever I hear this!
Saw them when I was a teen at the Esplanade foreshore in Perth. Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen and it was FREE
I was at that concert I think. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the sound wasn't the best because it was really windy.
Another amazing aussie band just another number to add to the best music nation ever and I'm a kiwi
Blow Your Cool is a great album from '87. It got a lot of airplay on the college radio station on campus. I remember the Gurus from when they toured with the Bangles a year or so before this album came out. Bangles did some back up vocals on this album as well. Awesome band, highly underrated here in the states!
A Rays fan AND a Gurus fan?! Let me buy you an overpriced beer at the Trop
World’s most under appreciated songs
I was in Venice back in 87 when I first heard this, an Aussie overseas for awhile, brought me straight back home in my head.
The lyrics start and finish mid sentence.... masterful. I always put on the Hoodoos when I need a good smile and a dance. Fantastic Ozzie band!!
Feels like a satisfying end to a really good Tv show
I had this album in highschool! I haven't heard these songs in so long. Thanks for putting them on TH-cam!

🇧🇷
I don't think i've heard this song since the 80's. Glad I stumbled on it again.
Probably one of my earliest introductions to Australian rock. Still not sure why it's so good.

Hooks,full of great hooks!
One of Australia's greatest anthems, yet only has 30K views?? C'mon mang.
There was an upload with millions of views that seems to have been taken down.
people who listen to this dont use youtube.
Noaha
Seppo
Yank
Dink - Donk ??? WTF ??? Simon knows how to make a board turn . . .
Ken oath!! Then you got the whip nae nae with 1.5 billion
This probably is because they upload this only on 2018 🇧🇷🤙
They are so underated
Aussie genius right here. Not thinking - But knowing nonetheless - Yess!!!
Have LOVED the GURUS since Stoneage Romeos! They STILL BLOW MY MIND!!!!!🤩 sgl
Definitely the most fun I ever had at a show!
What's My Team Loved the old sharkies and magpies jumpers.
Should be Australia's national anthem.
Peter P I’ll second that & add it should be every country’s anthem!
Maybe Too Many Times by the Mentals would be a better fit for us.
Have you not heard pub feed by the chats ?
i totally agree
Run to paradise anyone?
This really deserves millions of views, such a great tune.
Whangarparoa, New Zealand 1st March 2023 - AWESOME Show. Amazing energy. LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!! Wahoooooooooooooooooo
I saw them live in Liverpool UK in 1985. they were great and did a brilliant version of Galveston for the encore. I wish there was a recording of it.
Hey hoodoo Gurus i have to say i first heard you in 1986 while we were supposed to be playing tennis at high school and they were playing your music over the loud speaker .. and i thought yes on so many levels and i know its hard sometimes to understand yourself but after seeing you with julia and just talking dave faulkner that was a gift and its all bitter sweet in the end but the gift you and your band have given us is remarkable and irreplaceable so dont forget that...and im gonna jig now to your music..Sometimes the most complex people are actually really kind and real ... Sharon😊😊
Happy song! Love it!
My favourite song.🇦🇺☝🏾❤️❤️
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Oh, baby,
Tell me where have you been?
Now the stage is set
Where's my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My Midsummer Night's Dream?
What's my scene?
Like a talent scout
I'm always checking out new blood
Oh, I'd do good
If you tell me your game.
Playing Solitaire
Doesn't get me where you would
And, honey, you could
Play by any rules that you care to name.
What's my scene? (I gotta know)
They say, yeah, they say
Making love, you can make it pay.
They say, yeah, they say,
But we know there's a better way
Any day.
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Am I crazy
To believe in ideals?
I'm a betting man
But it's getting damn lonely.
Oh, honey, it only
I could be sure what I feel.
What's my scene? (I'm dying to know)
I'll never know.
Well, I concede
I've been caught in someone else's scene (but that's not me).
Where, oh where, oh where can my scene be?
Please answer - me
What's my ..?
This song is basically about that one person in the 20s I can’t figure out their life.
I met these guys once when they were playing in a bar next o the restaurant I worked at and we were catering for them and I had to take some dishes to them and had no idea who they were and one of them went to take the food from me and I thought it was just some random old dude and I refused to give him the food until another person came over and said it was for him. Found out later who they were and felt like a dumbass.
They were nice about it though so that was good
LOVE THIS BAND,TALENTED GUYS..🎶
This deserves at least a paltry million views, c'mon
Man this song takes me back. Epic song _| |_
Has to be one of Aussies greatest songs, from a Nzer across the ditch. 2023.
Bloody brillant.. love these guys had the pleasure of meeting them after a show in Perth many years ago after our gig... brilliant band
Great time in music
Great song.👌🏾
Saw em with the Bangles in western Kentucky years ago.
Why is this song so relatable?
I still don't know how this songs works ...what's my scene. But bloody hell thank god it did
Faulkner, a completely cool dude.
Bloody Great🎶🎵🎼
I love fun 1980s music videos!
This is my dad fav song
Dave F. has one of the best voices I've heard.
And a ton of energy
Absolute Classique - Nothing more. It is excellent...Just rough edged' and Beautiful..
Waiting for you on Ago 24th in Rio!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Much love from south of Brasil 🇧🇷
Australian rockers rule !
Curto muito essa banda,tem uma vibe ótima!
I just brought one of their albums back to Korea (cleaning out mom’s basement - been living abroad over 25 years). Bought a record player! Grew up in New Orleans in the ‘80s where they were played in clubs.
I remember this song in a surf video from the 80’s.
Love it! ❤
Aussie music in the 80s was somethin else
Top of Aussie Pop!
Love it!!!!! What a song
What a great song writer or writing group I dunno if he did em all himself. Anyway, really good. Top notch craftsmanship.
I'd forgotten how funny this vid was!
How many costumes do you want in this video?
Hoodoo Gurus: Yes
love this song!
When a friend introduced me to this band in the 90's... I said,
Wow! amazing !!
Lov this BAND❤️👏👏👍🇦🇺
This is a song too really get your vibes jumping out of your skin. We know theres a better way. Anyday. And im glad i can play ▶️ it any day. And get that feeling of shooting a curl. 🌊
Love it
This song simply DOES NOT AGE
First band I saw live in 1984 at the Newcastle Workers Club
I can remember going to UNSW in 83 and seeing the Le Hoodoo Gurus concert posters on the Roundhouse
That's my team
Gold , banger
Absolutely!!! Paul hogen would laugh his a** off!
So we claim " what's my scene " is the anthom of Australia!!
Best band
This song makes me so happy it came on and I smiled
best version of the song i ever heard! such a shame its cut short
just awesome truely
Saw them live at club Malibu in Long Island ny!!!!
They are awesome!!
Inventive and marvellous.
I think he should go for the priest scene - he made that look fun (even without an altar boy)...
Going to see them the 25th in NOLA, finally I get to see them!
One of the best bands....makes me remember the 80`s...much better than actual days with all this crying humans around!
Can't believe there was a time when Dave Faulkner had a full head of hair.
Bella canzone
Just awesome music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ 👌 👏 👏👏👏👏
When the NRL remix has more views then the original 😬
This ban is so underrated
You bet ya . I've seen them live 3 times and even better than the cd album ❤ awesome fuckn band💯👌
