I am now 64 and I was in love with Iva. I experienced all the great Aussie bands when they were newly formed. Even INXS. To have all that great music to dance to was just sensational.
One of my favourite songs ever! Iva is a musical genius. Love the dude jumping around having a great old time- Keith I think? They all look so damn good!
Can't compromise on the prize. One of the best bands of the last century. The tunes hold up today. None of the kids will appreciate unless it becomes a soundtrack of a Netflix series... Their loss :)
For a country with a low population compared to other parts of the world, pound for pound, Australia has probably produced some of the best popular music.
Originally called Flowers, but when they became internationally successful they had to change their name because there was already a band in the USA called Flowers.
I'm one year younger and a twenty three year old heir yo a Cressy property of paddocks put on a love song for me. All that malted milk whisky and chuff and retail therapy to getting in a stranger's car for eight years. Yes " ageing demographic"
You can button my shoes. Eh? We can get together! What....??? I just like talking to you.... Get away from me you creep! Must be something we can talk about?
Oh my god I'm 53 and the flowers were a great group until some bastard at the same name so they changed her name to Icehouse the flowers had some good songs to start
Robo interesting comment.Brings back memories of see both bands live before they each released their first albums, yes have both still. I, myself think INXS were better.
I’m 54 this still rocks .....massively underrated band
So right!!!💞
lukilu65 👍
This song's good regardless of age. I need to check out their other stuff.
Absolutely correct .one of the best bands in the world
How is Icehouse underrated? They are globally successful.

Spot on
I was , and still am , in love with Iva :) Me too ...we were there ...when all the Aussie bands were evolving.....fecking exciting times !!!!
Have always loved this band , they had to change their name, still had great tunes to remember .
I’m 48 , I was 10 when this came out and played it everywhere on my TDK cassette player , my best song for many years !!
Played it so many times that the tape stretched and was a bit slower than the original songs
I had such a crush on Iva Davies. I'm in the US now, introduce Icehouse to everyone that will listen.
First crush was Iva, when I was too young to know what a crush was 😅
Just recently turned 60 and I'm still listening and rocking away to Icehouse. Its just like connecting with a good friend that has been missing.
Wow amazing song, just heard it this in Aug 24, it’s a pity it didn’t have an impact in 80’s uk/Ireland, how did we miss out on this classic.
Simply brilliant 👏

Wow Great song Flowers 2023 🎉
8th grade summer for me. Alot of great memories from this song.
Gary Numan and Bowie's love child.
What a revelation the Flowers debut album was back in the 80's. On high rotation during Uni days.
Yes. What a great debut album
These rippers passed me by way back when !?!?!?
Still got this cassette
Funny, I hadn't noticed the Gary Numan influence until seeing this again. Great track.
O think they are both original artist and no tune copies
Just turned 60 and still playing.
A great band. Not the least being the bass player
Great Southern Land is our best alternative national anthem
killer song , rock,s
From a killer album
Had to hear this song again.
Saw them at dyrsl around 2015 all the hits
2:26 2:27 As a fan since the start, ive never seen a video of Iva/icehouse in their original name of Flowers. Mega rare!!
They were Flowers in Australia but then had to change their name in the USA. From memory it was because some other band had the name Flowers.
I saw them at the Enmore Theatre in 1979. they played support for The Angels.
Wow again Iva Davis Aussie David Bowie
Liked this song and really liked Flowers during their early years.
Perfection.
Loved seeing these guys live....brilliant times...wonderful memories...lots of faded memories --> being too stoned...lol.....all good
Thank you countdown
Love countdown wonderful show .Showed great Aussie talent thanks guys 😍💖😍😍

Classic
This is awesome!!! Iva is the MAN!!!
can remember seeing them at Frenchs in Darlinghurst, prob '79
French's on Oxford St block up from the Exchange good times.
Thanks :-)
We maybe older still Iva Davies ruled
Iva is incapable of writing a bad song.
OMG
I used to work with the guy on the keyboards.. Anthony. 😎
Base is killer...songs built around that driving beat. Similar to Joy Division...
Wow ... and flutter! Bad VHS?
Is that Kitchener Morris’ dad on the drum kit?
Karen Barnes/Sainty,,,,,,,,Deefa dog....ciao bella....Bali 1980
Rest in peace Anthony 💗
We can slap the leather!
Good track from Flowers. Icehouse ripped them off
why does he remind me of Gary Numan??? :)
Icehouse or flowers?
Originally called Flowers, but when they became internationally successful they had to change their name because there was already a band in the USA called Flowers.
There was a Scottish band called The Flowers active at the same time, hence they changed their name to Icehouse.
Don't notice that she's never ever around
We all know he is David Jones"s younger Brother

Icehouse better than inxs. They always have been.
Robo interesting comment.Brings back memories of see both bands live before they each released their first albums, yes have both still. I, myself think INXS were better.
Prefer the name icehouse.😅
Pathetic lip=synching..nothing is plugged in...
It's for a tv show. Fool.
