Amazing that it still sounds so fresh, don't think you could date it back to 1981 like a lot of other stuff from then. I got Cut Lunch on Casette in 82, still one of my favourites.
one of my favorite tracks by these guys and quite different to the sound they eventually took to that brought them big fame. this sounds more like Mental as Anything in style.
@@jackfriend4u Pleasure Of Your Company was a natural progression from their early formative years. It's a fantastic album that still holds up today. It beats me why they took a big u-turn and went down the pop road. Sure, they were popular for 5 minutes with the Countdown crowd but then they faded into obscurity. I mean, they were good pop songs but to me they weren't Models songs. I think Big on Love was their last great song. Went and saw them live the other night and they were still pretty good.
What a belter! Cut Lunch an Australian classic.

I'd never noticed that, but your observation is spot on!

The Models had a unique sound and quirky, clever lyrics.
love that old guy so much
YAY!
I'll drink to the Toucan 🍻🍻🍻
Is that the late Maurie Fields at the bar ?
Famous for stints on Hey Hey it's Saturday.
It’s not Maurie! When I first saw it I thought it was Johnny Raper! Lol
@@koolroo8337 As in the former St Georges player and Kangaroos captain ?
@@shenysys Yes
It's not him though!
Why so short? Album version is 3'18"
Probably because this was a snip from an overall Cut Lunch clip
Not just the length totally different version to the album, much softer
My son f upped this mini ep.
The first was the best
So where was the Toucan? Good song too!

Used to hitch hike from Melbourne to Adelaide early 80’s. Used to frequent the Toucan club. Remember the black plastic that covered the walls.
I was 14
Crap on a brick. But people are soft touches.
