This song is very close to my heart right now. Over the last 4 years, I’ve spent a year of that away from my family. It hurts; but that’s my job. Seen the Gurus live a couple of times and they are still great. Last time was with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra at stage 88, and it was just awesome. Hoodoo Gurus plus orchestra- it really worked❤.
I got my platoon hooked on it in the desert in 90. Nothing like the Hoodoo Gurus, a bunch of Marines, and NO CHICKS. (At least that meant there were no fat chicks there). If only I could go back!
Saw them live in a pub in Kalgoorlie WA, can't remember what year it was, but one of the best pub bands ever. Only pipped by The Angels on the Gold Coast, can't remember what year it was. Mmm old timers.
It would have been very uncomfortable back then with everyone smoking back then. I do love the “Anti-smoking laws now”. This song brings back so much memories.
@@andysmith6218 I was there man I’m telling you that shit ruins a man you need to open your eyes this isn’t like you Andy Smith see the world as it is, life in the Aus burbs in the 80s was the worst. The Gurus would side with me bub
Saw the Gurus on the undercard to Midnight Oils last concert of UK tour in London in 1986. Gurus nailed it. Then Oils came out drunk & wasted. Hopeless, couldnt hold the beat, falling over. Gurus saved the Gig. Rock on
Full of it! Oils don’t drink and get wasted moron! I saw them about 4 years ago and couldn’t believe how tight they were. They were actually better than 80’s when I saw them.
Great song. Outrageously underappreciated band. Nostalgia overload! However I'm not sure if they had their time again they'd have a little kid dancing around to a song about an orgy, and mouthing the words 'I bet you think I'm kinky right'.
I was a 25yr old pom kid in 1990 when i arrived alone in Aus, £300 no return ticket. Lookin at deportation before i got there. On that three day bounce roond the world, i got off in sydney. Customs officer, to me, ‘have you got a criminal record?’. I drunkenly replied, ‘ i didnt know i still needed one’. Boom. She laughed n said , ‘ gwan ya pommy bastard youll have fun here..!’
Only a creepy mind thinks this video is creepy. The girl is the drummers daughter and she is cute as a button. And she can dance. Nothing creepy about it. It's good clean fun and the video has nothing to do with the words. Jeez relax everyone.
Putting a kid in a video where the song lyrics are about an orgy 😂 Of course liberals think it's a wonderful innocent idea. The OP is obviously turned on by all of it.
The song is about fucking hippy chick's back in the day then in the film clip the drummers 10 yr old daughter is dressed like a hippy and dancing like a 60's go-go dancer and you can't see how some people may find that a bit creepy?
They re-opened the Bondi Icebergs Swimming Club. Members only a great night. Saw Mark, year or so ago early morning while walking my dogs. Mark was in fine form on Oz music scene.. Mark is a solid drummer for Hoodoo Gurus.
I don’t know whether it’s just me, or if in the early 90s, the pop world had suddenly gotten sexier. The Hoodoo Gurus however - and I think I speak for everyone when I say this - are nobody’s idea of sexy people. Sex is sexy when sexy people like Madonna and Chrissy Amplett are doing it. It’s really not when Dave Faulkner is asking “I bet you think I’m kinky right?” Although “Miss Freelove ‘69” is that rare beast - a song that waxes nostalgic about how the sex was better in the 60s, whilst proving the exact opposite - it’s still an 8.
Who in tf are they lol? U do realise that with the amount of music and songs that have been put together, there are going to be many that sound similar or the same? 🙄 Name the song the Hoodoos swiped from instead of just pointing the effing finger. Americans, they're always first to steal ideas and patent them and then sue when u use your own idea.
@@frenchys_prospecting Sure, but that may just be you. Watched this video growing up, and watching it again now, and all I think is that for a young girl she was a pretty cool dancer. I think what bugs some people is that she wasn't just doing some dance moves, but that she was really getting into it.
I'm curious to know the logic behind the decision to put the drummer's young daughter in this video. I would have been about the same age as her when this song came out. I wonder if this was a statement about how their youth had by then become "retro" and sanitised and turned into something that their daughters were playing at. Getting into their parents' old party clothes and playing dressups. Her dress is quite large on her. I have some vague recollection of taking it that way when I first saw it.
@@user-dj5no5qx4ewe all know better? What a joke, anyone who thinks this is sexualisation of a young girl, or playing into the hands of pedophiles, needs to get their mind out of the gutter and ask themselves if they’re an unwitting part of the problem
A song about orgies and his little daughter in the film clip 🤮. Sick. Reminds me of when I was 13 and went to my ethnic club. The children of the parents who did group sex expressed their misery and frustration in growing up in that environment.
It's the drummers daughter. She loved dancing. Music was banging in the 80s. Before everyone became an apparent kiddie fiddler it was OK to give your kids a start. Now a young fella can't get a job as a papperboy . If that paper boy grew up and had a daughter who loved to dance and take after her dad even tho she has not the words. Well. Let's all rely on your obviously sound judgement. As you obviously have the full jist of everything going down. Thank whatever God you were born otherwise who knows where we'd be.
@@cainbarker6307 curious response. On the one hand you provide new and potentially exculpatory information. If what you write here is true, then yeah, it’s not a gross pedophilia thing. Even though it’s reasonable for people to think it is, given the song’s message. But then you go on the attack, belittling a parent’s concern for a kid. That’s weird, because all normal adults want children to be safe, innocent, shielded from harmful experiences. Now that second part makes me wonder if the first part is true.
One of Australia's greatest bands. They rock!
There is nothing like the 80s Australian music👌🔥
Yeah. This was 1991.
@@longtallshorty5791 Close enough Lol. Aussie 90's music was banging too! 80's and 90's both :)
Just the BEST Aussie band. No question.

That little gurl is now in her early 40s. Who feels old?
Got turned onto the Gurus in 1986 in West Germany while serving with the Army...good times
U.S. Army? Count me as an American who caught this video once at a weird hour on MTV and was obsessed forever after....
@@slingerlandiamusicpublishi8495 why are the best songs played late at night? Probably because the masses are asleep

Here to tell you i’m 24 and obsessed with this song

They are awesome live; the loudest concert I've ever been to!
Great song. Great drumming
Oz pub rock 🤘 Nothing comes close and others try hard. Australian culture at it's best ✌️ 🤘🇦🇺
my brothers 69 hk holden premier was called miss freelove , miss the car and the song , both live on
307ci? Power glide?
My favourite. Aussie Rock band😊
I Never Heard Of This Song Or This Group, Looks Like Australian 80's Rock, Pop Love It!!! I REALLY Do!!!❤❤❤
It a great song
I love this song and album so much❤❤
Always liked the Hoodoos , great band .
Wish these guys were still making music! ❤❤
They released a new album during lockdown
They are playing in Denver on May 16th, 2023
they still are, unfortunately their new stuff isn't as near as good as their heyday
The latest album is good, and they're playing San Francisco on the 21st and LA on the 23rd. I'll be at both shows.
Can't wait can't wait can't wait 40 year since Le Americzn Cup thanks Gurros for coming back. Will be 👍
What have Hoodoo Guru's got to do with the America's Cup? It was the band Men at Work and their song Down Under that's associated with the cup
We just saw them last week in Florida. It was WONDERFUL! and I think Dave F is sexy as hell!
I painted le Eave's ov my home in FreeLove colour because of this song. Happee i did. Cool Song. FreeLove = LightLimeGreen waterbased.
OBRIGADO POR TUDO CARECA!!!!
Lol the ripped jeans we wore back then, are back in fashion 2020! Haha:)
Great song! I wish I could have seen them live
They were as much fun live.
You still can. Saw them play before chisel last year
They're still around!
i’m 20 and i’ve always heard of them, saw them at the mundi bash about a month ago and had them on repeat ever since, can’t get enough.
This song!!! I still remember the lyrics after all these years 😂😂😂
I saw this debut in 1991 on 120 Minutes & requested it that week on college radio. Great memories, been a big fan ever since.
Life in the Aus burbs in the 80’s 🤷🏻♂️ good times
U mean literally the worst times
Whereabouts? I was there then, manly, sydney, etc twas cool everywhere

Geez I’m 45 and reckon the daughter would be around my age now….

Australia back in the 80s and 90s when it was totally free! NO LOCKDOWNS SHIT!

Nah, it's creepy because he cut his hair.
I always figured it was something like that. She really was great! I was around the same age when I saw the video and thought she dances so good!

Great upload, much clearer than the others
1969 ... true story! 😆🤩
Super groovy video
This song had me at 69
You mean this song made you do a “sixty-niner?”
They re-opened the Bondi Icebergs Swimming Club. Members only a great night.
Saw Mark, year or so ago early morning while walking my dogs. Mark was in fine form on Oz music scene..
Mark is a solid drummer for Hoodoo Gurus.
Who gives a fck?
Indeed. Richard Kingsmill's brother.
That was great i was thinking if the Hoodoo's was alway's your's?
awesome song love the band and the memories the music brings my names forry using friends youtube
Free love I miss.
Love the Hoodoos. Totally underrated group.
Underrated? They were massive in Australia!
Never underrated in their home country that's for sure.
Not sure about the vid, but great beat and strumming on this one
Underrated
so good bro 's
All these years I thought the song was Mystery Love 🙄
Is anyone gonna mention the lil kid? 😮
DAM YEARS
Tem um som meio parecido com o Midnight Oil, e ainda que são da Austrália tbem
I really like this song, but does anyone know why such a young girl is one of the dancers. She looks like she is in junior high.
The drummer's daughter
Obviously talking about their childhood memories.
A lot of guys got pegged that night. Good for them.
I Bet Ya Think I'm Kinky Wright ?

The guitar licks in the middle is practically swiped from the Meat Puppets. It sounds exactly like Curt Kirkwoods work itself.

Two of my favorite groups ever. Curt Kirkwood is a guitar god.
This is old and their is great chance these guys don’t know who the fuck your talking about their ozzies
@kenphillippi2822 Yes, he is. Followed the pups since 82. Curt will always be overlooked cause he ne er takes his playing seriously.
kids
I think the producer told them to change the words from Mystery love to miss free love..
no dave just has a weird pronunciation of stuff i think, he says the accomplished funny for example.
is you
Love these guys and this song but they absolutely, totally ripped off the Meat Puppets guitar sound. It's probably a coincidence, but damn similar.
Second coming. Isn't far.
Great song but what the fuck is that film clip.. also come to think of it it's a pretty fucked song.. ah well can't diss the greats, shoutout to rage.
Why is there a preteen model in this video? Its literally about group sex!
I've never noticed. She looks all of about 13 at best
...she’s the daughter of the drummer...no biggie, daddy was there to ensure everything was above board
Ronan Rogers just seems weird
@@frenchys_prospecting Sure, but that may just be you.
