I remember the first time I saw The Swingers was in the Aussie musical "Starstruck" and was mesmerized by Phil Judd's good looking, uber cool demeanor.
And werent they awesome times!!!!!!! Amazing live scene around Shitney in those days... bands everywhere live and $10 used to get you 3 bands not like today $400 gets you 1
woohoo ..This song makes me crazy dance ..,.I'm counting the beat 2.3.4.5 ......thinking about just you and me there ain't no place I'd rather be ... I didn't realize it was written by a former member of Split Enz..no wonder I always loved it

What a great catchy song this is! I wasn't aware of it until Midnight Oil covered it the other day in Christchurch, is that Noel Crombie of Split Enz making a cameo at 2.23 (the guy wearing shades)? Looks awfully like him....
god this song doesn's even sound like it's from 82. If I had heard that for the first time and they put enough effort into restoring this song, I would think it was released in the 00s no joke. such a classic

I remember the first time I saw The Swingers was in the Aussie musical "Starstruck" and was mesmerized by Phil Judd's good looking, uber cool demeanor.
This song was on the top of the Aussie charts for many weeks back in 1981. Classic song.
And werent they awesome times!!!!!!! Amazing live scene around Shitney in those days... bands everywhere live and $10 used to get you 3 bands not like today $400 gets you 1

I fucking found this song. I knew they were a local band.
Was '81! I was in Yr 7, this was being played ALL the time! Choice cuz ay!
the singer can really move, its old fashioned and modern at the same time, and really relaxed and casual but upbeat
Just like nz :)
I have found the song.
My life is completed
Phil Judd should never have left Split Enz!
A wonderful intro . . .
It doesn't get any better than this.
Great old Classic 80's hit !! still sounds great & fun to hear after all those years
I keep coming back to this Sharon so glad you put it together lol
Saw these guys rock the night at The Starwood in Los Angeles
Lyrics:
I look at the sunrise
I look at it burn
I look into your eyes
Don't know where to turn
I'm gonna drift into that void
I'm flying through space
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm an asteroid
I'm dancing that place
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
When you're paranoid
I'm thinking about you and nothing else
Think about you
You think about me
Think about you
You're counting the beat
Thinking about you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Thinking about me
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm thinking about just you and me
La-dah-de-de
There's ain't no place I'd rather be

La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
I'm bleeding to death
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
On the cloudiest day
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
A three-four-five beat
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
A-waltzing away
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm counting the beat
Two-three-four-five
I'm feeling the heat, glad to be alive
I'm counting the beat
Six-seven-eight-nine
I'm wishing that you, that you were mine
Think about you
You think about me
Think about you
You're counting the beat
Thinking about you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Thinking about me
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Thinking about you!
Thinking about me!
Thinking about you!
Thinking about just you and me
La-dah-de-de
There's ain't no place I'd rather be
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da
La-da-de-da, la-da-de-da

I feel like drinking L&P, going to K-Mart, and now shopping smarter at Countdown... I'm sure I'm forgetting another brand that used the music as well?

Is there a place i'd rather be?
god this song doesn's even sound like it's from 82. If I had heard that for the first time and they put enough effort into restoring this song, I would think it was released in the 00s no joke. such a classic

Rebel Sports, I think!
@max4wrd Sad to say I doubt if any stereo version exists of the original clip (mono was standard broadcast sound back in the day), and whilst this was recorded and formatted for stereo the original clip no doubt has this problem.

L&P World Famous in Aotearoa (NZ)
Hey boss
I miss the mash up video of this and IT that someone did before.. Pennywise fit so well with this song for some odd reason.
the pretty things come see me
Like
fucking countdown
holle good
2:22-2:48
Harlem shake, before it was cool.
Pfft! It was NEVER cool!
See if THAT garbage is still being played in 35 years or so!
Kiwi band. Beau johnston.
Thinkin' about ewe, thinkin' about mee, I'm countin' the sheep!
brevity is wit, as this song is also...
Countdown fucking ruined this song for me
Jered Aitken Kmart fucking ruined this song for me!
Phoebe Barlow Does Kmart use it too! What country is this in?
How?
Annette Louise they use it I'm their ads
everytime id hear it while working there id reply to myself, "theres a million places id rather be mate"
The Swingers - a great kiwi band who went to aussie and showed them what real music is, as all good kiwi bands do (it's a big brother sort of thing).
Brothers in arms ...
Great bands on both sides of the ditch.
2:25
she kicks the dog :
Kmart!
yes! was just thinking that 😂
Sounds simple but isn't....
Only the dance styles have dated.
It's interesting, I didn't realize NZ was still a county of England.
Haha, NO, it's a Territory of The Commonwealth of AUSTRALIA! ( Shh just DON'T tell the Kiwis that!)
DMSProduktions Nah Aussies just the west island of nz
Fuck off duck heed! ;oP
What a strange voice that man has.
He's thinkin' about EWE!!!!
He's a kiwi, why does he sing in a British accent? Is he a wannabe Pom?
Probably same reason most British singers sing in an American accent, easier to carry a tune.
@@jokari8596 no that statement contradicts itself and makes no sense
