Howzat is a cricket expression. Appealing to the umpire for a wicket. Very Aussie. This song was used to promote cricket and often had cricket scenes played as the video clip.
Howzat short for ""How's that?"" ""Caught out"" is a cricket term for when the batsman hits the ball and the opposition catches it without it bouncing.
I was once "roadie" here in the land of Oz, the guy who got me into the game was once the "drum roadie" for this band. I have met the keyboard player and song-writer, Garth Porter, in his old home in Bondi, Sydney, NSW. I had many good times working with bands in Oz!
That was recorded at a long-running music show on our government-funded broadcaster called “Countdown”, where the host was Ian “Molly” Meldrum, and he had bands play semi-live (live vocals, some instruments), as well as music news, celebrity interviews, and national charts.
Sherbet were so hot in the 70's!! I was in love with the Drummer Alan Sandow. Daryl Braithwaite is still entertaining us to this day. Thank you for sharing & Happy New Year to you both.
The outfits from a shop in Hindley Street South Australia. Did backing with Garth the keyboard player on a record at a friend's place. Great times the best music era ever. All the men were wonderful people. Thank you for the memory. ❤ 🎶 🎵 🎤
I saw Sherbs playing ❤❤❤ at our local suburban pub Raffles Hotel in Perth West Australia in the mid 70s. I was about 16 years old dancing in front of the band with my mates. I still got their vinyls. Gidday from an Australian chick 😊Still love them!! Saw Daryl performing about 12 years ago in Perth West Australia
Loved this band as a kid growing up in the 70s. They were massive on Oz, this was a huge Number One hit. They had a stylish wrist Coast sound like Little River Band, but never made it big outside Oz. Lead singer Daryl Braithwaite had a huge second career as solo act, still performing to this day. He is an Icon. Keyboard player Garth Porter was main songwriter, huge talent, more known as producer these days
I'm 61, and remember when Sherbet became a sensation. Girls loved them, guys hated them! But over the years, we grow up, we mature, and we start listening to the music, not the publicity. And I have to admit, I have grown to like them. Great vocals and harmonies, and great musicians. I really like Got the Gun. Who can remember their first song, Free The People? Or their rock'n'roll tune It's Only A Matter Of Time? Lots of good memories.
Sherbet came from very humble beginnings. They started as a working band in the late 60s early 70s, and they played Saturday night dances in Sydney's west. They played 4 hour gigs for $80.00 a night. That's right $80.00. I did not put the dot in the wrong place.
That's how we dressed in the mid-seventies Flares silk shirts and platform shoes that was the 70's and all the girls were for Sherbet or Skyhooks memories
Child’s Play was another big Sherbet hit from the mid 70s. Darryl Braithwaite had big solo hits with a cover of You’re My World (70s) and Horses (90s).
Ahhh... Yes!... Memories of the 70's when I was a young teenager learning the guitar myself and being in a band when I was in Melbourne. We used to practice at home until the cops kept coming around so we moved into a hall to practice and let our hair down. The old times when we had groupies following us and lots of girls back in those days. We did a number of covers including Howzat and others from other Australian bands such as Taste, Star, Rabbit and then some from Deep Purple, Led Zeplin, Black Sabbath and Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. Unfortunately as it always happens, eventually the band broke up due to getting involved with girls and other issues. But the best thing is, we had fun and that's the most important thing about playing an instrument. "Having Fun". When the fun goes, then the music goes with it.
My first ever live concert was when I was five years old and my teenage sister took me along with her and her friends to see Sherbet in concert in Wagga. The support band was Greyhound.
In 1976 I was taken to a Sherbet concert at the age of 10 by an aunt. Full denims, standing on the seat back so I could see the stage over the hoard of screaming teenagers. All the girls wanted to take me home. Fun times.
The only live gig my wife went to in Wagga. I can't say anything bad about them because they were still a great band even though not my style. There is however stillvinyl in our house! Love it. Summer Love also a good track
Seriously??!! I saw them in Wagga at the Plaza Theatre in 1976 with Ted Mulry Gang as support. Awesome concert. I agree, Summer Love is a great song and there's quite a few Sherbet albums in our house as well.
You should check out more of this band's stuff if you have nothing better to do. One of the original Aussie, legendary bands. Cassandra Rock me Gently * Silvery Moon * You're all Woman Life * You've got the gun Can you feel it baby * High Rollin' Child's play Summer Love
At the time the strip clubs played it pretty heavily, with an item coming off for each Howzat and etc.... I was a happy little pervert in my youth.....
The Aussie accent is notorious for leaving out every thing that you can. One of the best/worse examples would be Ava-good-wee-gend (said without gaps). This is 'Have a good week end' with lots of bits left out. Then there's g'day - good day, Strailya - Australia, and so on.
And myself having been an umpire in cricket, an umpire cannot just give a player out. The umpire must be asked, and then he is able to respond. Because I was an umpire for games involving people with varying degrees of vision impairment, many players wouldn’t be able to see what was going on, and so they wouldn’t appeal. So I would say to the fielding player closest to me “Are you asking any questions today?” The player would “Howzat?!” “Out? Yessir, it’s out”
They had a BIG problem when they went to America. The Americans couldn't understand why they were called sherbet which has a different meaning there than here. They had to change their name to Highway, also the boys got into the drugs a bit which also didn't help. They came to my little town in WA in the early 70's.., I think I was about 13. They were big in Oz in the 70's
Sherbet is more a pop based band - they do an amazing cover of Wishing Well. Lead Singer Darryl Braithwaite had massive solo success post Sherbet... Sherbet were also based in the States for a couple of years and recorded under the names Highway and The Sherbs in an effort to ditch the pop/teeny bopper image they had. Please look at Skyhooks and for fun please look at Norman Gunston (multi-talented actor and comedian who also did send-ups of major bands like Kiss and ABBA) but was also a seriously talented musician. The actor (real name Garry McDonald) was the only actor to ever win a Logie - the Australian version of the Oscar - in character. He released a send up of classic punk with a song called "I Might Be A Punk But I Love You Baby) -is hilarious but again he does a ripper harmonica solo. For hard core Aussie rock you can't go past Rose Tattoo - Rock N Roll Outlaw and Bad Boy For Love...... more your style
G'day Suzi and Trav, Just a bit of a heads up, it's sherBET not sherBERT, just so ya don't get yelled at by the true believers... A little bit of trivia too,,,at one point the boys did a US tour and were on the Dinah Shore Show, rumours were flying around at the time that Dinah and Daryl were a little more than just host and guest... but I guess we'll never really know for sure, coz she took her secrets to the grave, and Dazza is a proper gentleman and has never said boo to a fly about it...😉 🙃🐨🇦🇺
You guys are going back way back into my childhood so now you will have to do Skyhooks and Darryl went to the same school and the same year as Oliver Newton-John
What about doing????? The Killers Runaways or Mr Bright Side, Just another girl, the way it was or the song on the Rocky Balboa soundtrack called.. Somebody told me, or Shot at the night.. Then you can go down the rabbit hole
Love you and your girlfriend reaction to this you look like a relaxed stick of licorice who smoked a joint and your Mrs a colourful donut covered in colourful sprinkles
Aaaahhhhhh……. The fashions and grooves of 70’s Australia. Nostalgia bomb!!!

Oh memories of my young teenage years in Australia. Wow!
Oh, the memories, singing & dancing to Sherbet. Loved it, thank you. 🇦🇺

This is one of many Awesome Sherbet and Daryl Braithewaite songs since the 70's...hes still touring today
oh great memories came flooding back...lol Great reactions guys ...Love from The Land Down Under
The outfits from a shop in Hindley Street South Australia. Did backing with Garth the keyboard player on a record at a friend's place. Great times the best music era ever. All the men were wonderful people. Thank you for the memory. ❤ 🎶 🎵 🎤
My sisters had all their albums. I remember them playing after school a lot in the 70's. Love it.

THIS was HOW Aussie GLAM was done! \m/
In Australia in the 70s the girls loved either Sherbet or Skyhooks.
Yep and I despised Sherbet with a passion! Shirl and Skyhooks always! Daryl is such a flog! Hahaha

Free the People oh yeah ❤ Perth WA.
Just a sidetrack note. Howzat is a cricket term, when the fielding team sings out 'Howzat' to the umpire if they think the batter is out.
This song is one of the songs from my childhood 💚💥
I love this song and I had the album plus. Sherbet were the first ever concert I went to - I was 14 I think .
Sherbet came from very humble beginnings. They started as a working band in the late 60s early 70s, and they played Saturday night dances in Sydney's west. They played 4 hour gigs for $80.00 a night. That's right $80.00. I did not put the dot in the wrong place.
Maaaaaaate all us Australian kids of the 70s listened to these guys, SkyHooks and ACDC
Great memories, I absolutely loved Sherbet.❤❤❤
nice 2 c a reaction to hozat n sherbet, remeber vis song frm childhood, gd hook. n that bass n daryls vocals n v harmonies.
Sherbet and Skyhooks were the two most popular bands in Australia in the 70's.... both were more than capable of heavier material and worth looking at
Add dragon to that list
Until AC/DC came along
Oh I was such a fan in the 70's
That's how we dressed in the mid-seventies Flares silk shirts and platform shoes that was the 70's and all the girls were for Sherbet or Skyhooks memories
The guitar solo is wonderful.

those beautiful young men are all in their mid 70s now..except the lead guitarist who is the late great Harvey James♥️🇦🇺♥️
One of Australia's best-loved hits globally.
My first ever live concert was when I was five years old and my teenage sister took me along with her and her friends to see Sherbet in concert in Wagga. The support band was Greyhound.
Everyone from Wagga must have seen them. I saw them at the old Plaza Theatre in 1976 with Ted Mulry Gang as support.
@@theread59 probably the same concert. I remember it wa at the Plaza. May not have been Greyhound. Memory may be fuzzy, I was only five.
Oh loves of my teenage Aussie life!! Sherbet!!!!!
They were a good band.
Barely can tell this was a 70s song😜, Daryl is brilliant can't wait for the next one!
In 1976 I was taken to a Sherbet concert at the age of 10 by an aunt. Full denims, standing on the seat back so I could see the stage over the hoard of screaming teenagers. All the girls wanted to take me home. Fun times.
This is a great song , loved it ❤
I was in love with Garth ❤❤
You were not alone Narelle. I think we all were.
Narelle, my wife too!
The only live gig my wife went to in Wagga. I can't say anything bad about them because they were still a great band even though not my style. There is however stillvinyl in our house!
Love it. Summer Love also a good track

@@theread59 that would have been it Geoff. Garth was pretty popular with the girls!
Crikey straight out of 1976 takes me back to high school
omg I was in love with Daryal when I was about 7yre old lol, still used in the game of cricket tunes 🤣
I love 70s fashion ✨️
A excellent 70s band!!!
Excellent!!

Fantastic
This was a huge hit in Australia at the time
I like Darryl's solo hit "Horses"
Reminds me of a special time of my life in the late 70’s in the land of aus
That's a live vocal by Daryl Braithwaite too.
My first single❤

Probably makes more sense in cricket playing countries…. :)
This was a moderate hit in the UK as well
What a Jam 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Luv Dazza and the boys 👍
This reached No2 in the UK probably because of the cricket connotations.
Shirts were illegal in Australia in the 1970s.
Ahh the 70s. The high school girls divided by their allegiances to either Darryl Braithwaite and Sherbert or Shirl The Curl's Skyhooks.
Yep despised Sherbet with a passion! Shirl and Skyhooks always shi*loads better ... Daryl was a dag! Lol

LOOVVEE IT!!
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
travs jamming lol too good!!! 😆
A band I have seen many times and met on one occasion. Daryl the lead singer still performing and sounds just the same. Check out Rock Me Gently
Now I'm just waiting for Silvery Moon and Magazine Madonna lol
Darryl's latest hit was The Horses
That is one gorgeous lady!
Classic 👍

Howzat ! A very familiar Aussie term. You need to watch you some cricket howzat vids !

Can't separate it from World Series Cricket
Can't believe we dressed like that back then 😂
Satin was big in 1976 😂
Life was so much better then
G'day Suzi and Trav,
Just a bit of a heads up, it's sherBET not sherBERT, just so ya don't get yelled at by the true believers...
A little bit of trivia too,,,at one point the boys did a US tour and were on the Dinah Shore Show, rumours were flying around at the time that Dinah and Daryl were a little more than just host and guest... but I guess we'll never really know for sure, coz she took her secrets to the grave, and Dazza is a proper gentleman and has never said boo to a fly about it...😉
🙃🐨🇦🇺
You guys are going back way back into my childhood so now you will have to do Skyhooks and Darryl went to the same school and the same year as Oliver Newton-John
haha, brill..
They had many hits in OZ Try Summer Love
Nice 🎉
Blasr from the past.....wild horses by Darryl is a winner too
Hey YONGBLOODS
its a nice 60 s song
Oookkeiiiii
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☄☄☄☄☄☄
👍
Travis and Susie. You disappeared. and left us..
Back in the day you were either a Sherbet or a Skyhooks fan.😂
They didn't think this song about cricket was going to be a hit but it was.
It's not about cricket..it just uses a cricket term
@@jayjayjase9796 it is loosely based on cricket because one of the band members loved cricket.
@@lealand423 more about his girl doing the dirty on him
@@jayjayjase9796 yep - cricket terminology describing a bloke catching his missus sleeping around.
What about doing?????
The Killers Runaways or Mr Bright Side, Just another girl, the way it was or the song on the Rocky Balboa soundtrack called..
Somebody told me, or Shot at the night.. Then you can go down the rabbit hole
😆
That’s one sexy voice ❤❤❤ not the vocals but it’s an amazing tune but that girl is steaming 🥰🥰🥰
like y'all
Infidelity... "You messed about; I caught you out."
Start using Howzat in the US, confuse the shit out of people for a while
Play the horse song.😂😂
😂👏👏👏🙏🇦🇺
I liked sherbet but was more a skyhooks person
Sherbert were a band that you either loved or hated. They were popular with the teeny bopper girls. Definitely not my cup of tea.
Skyhooks for the lads, Sherbet for the ladies. thats how I remember it.
@@iankearns774 Exactly.
How is that. Howzat the song is about him catching his girlfriend out or wife with someone thats not him
Love you and your girlfriend reaction to this you look like a relaxed stick of licorice who smoked a joint and your Mrs a colourful donut covered in colourful sprinkles
Sorry they made you watch that.
Watch a game of cricket. Then you’ll understand.
