I am 63 . Split Enz were probably my favorite band and their music was way ahead of their time.
Great to see some love for the Kiwi legends! Excellent band that had a string of hits here in NZ. Keyboardist Eddie Rayner was the unsung hero of the band with his keyboard skills and orchestration. Always amazing live. They started off as a prog band - and their songs of that era often ended oddly like this - and only started developing a catchy pop sound around the time of "I See Red". Another great song from that era is "Give It A Whirl".
Eddie Rayner, a master! 'The Choral Sea', what a gem of a song.
I was going to suggest 'Give It A Whirl' to C&C myself (and had already done so in the past, too), but unfortunately the only copy of the original video clip on YT comes with really bad audio 😏
I actually caught Split Enz in London in 1976 just before I left the UK for Australia. For the rest of the decade they were one of those bands that always had a presence but no ubiquiti to speak of.
I just finished reading a fascinating book about the Countdown years and was reminded of the way things were in Australian pop back in the 70's.
I remember ''I See Red'' as being a call for a new generation of Countdown kids. Many Skyhooks and Sherbet fans of the mid 70's grew out of Countdown by the time ''I See Red'' popped up, and there was a new generation to replace them.
The Countdown years could be grouped in a few generation of Countdown kids. The first generation of Countdown kids of '74 to '78 consisted of Skyhooks, Sherbet, John Paul Young, Supernaut, Dragon, AC/DC fans. Split Enz also fell into the first generation of Countdown acts, but their time was yet to come.
The second generation of Countdown kids emerged in 1978, and this crowd were a New Music crowd (New Music was common descriptor for New Wave). This was the group that made Plastic Bertrand, Lene Lovich and Ian Dury into chart toppers in Australia, and their music revolved around that disposable pop of Split Enz, The Radiators, The Reels, Chrissie Allen, The Sports, Jo Jo Zep And The Falcons, Mi-Sex, The Church, INXS, The Angels, Models...
They were a very savy group of kids and I believe their biggest success was getting ''I Got You'' to number one. I remember the music having a modern slickness like it was more a product and less of an art.. Even hard rock group, The Angels, were falling into the short-sharp-slick approach into making records.
The third generation emerged in 1983 to 1987 and they were the Pseudo Echo, Wa Wa Nee, Uncanny X-Men, I'm Talking, Models, INXS and Machinations fans.. The best stuff was really in the 70s IMO.
In my early 80s ice skating/roller skating phase this song was always used for speed skates.
RIP for Eddie Rainer's fingers - he's playing that keyboard part without the aid of an arpeggiator.
It was quite exciting to see this video for the first time on Countdown back in '79. It took me by surprise seeing Split Enz applying a punk edge to their vaudeville act. Like seeing toys in the attic going mad. We'd have to wait another year to see ''I Got You'' top the Australian charts - a song that gave us a reason to obsess over Split Enz rather than just tolerate them.
I got you is a great single, one of the best from that era of any band.
@@stephentatterton4766 I agree. It's a great song. I was dismissive of it upon first listen because at that point Split Enz had released mostly flops with only a few hits here and there. My sister told me to listen to the song properly and not just hear it as just another Split Enz song. Once I did, I got it and then it got to # 1. Good days!
1979 was one of my favourite years of Aussie pop music* ... Split Enz started bringing out all these plastic pop singles which suited Countdown because of the synthetic nature of show (plastic pop songs for a plastic pop show), and The Reels, The Radiators, The Dugites, The Aliens, Australian Crawl, Mi-Sex*, Mental As Anything, Numbers, Jimmy & The Boys, Monitors, La Femme and James Freud just seemed to follow suit.
Countdown was the perfect platform for us Aussie kids to enjoy our own brand of New Wave disposable pop. We would play singles like ''Love Will Find A Way'', ''Beautiful People'' and ''I See Red'' until they wore out and then throw them away and buy new singles. Even the abrupt end of ''I See Red'' feels really Countdown-ish for some reason. It matched what we were about back then. I remember my dad commenting on how my generation didn't value to art of music after he heard the way ''I See Red'' had ended. But that's just how we liked the ''new music'' to be. Record a 2 minute pop song in some fancy studio with some young hot shot producer - quick and catchy like Lene Lovich or Plastic Bertrand, and then out in stores a few weeks later and on Countdown. Perfect!
*I acknowledge Split Enz and Mi-Sex were New Zealanders.
The Reels summed it up with a song called ''Plastic Pop'' on their first album.
@@Win_Lose116 They did!!! I loved that whole album. Misused Abused and Prefab Heart were two of my favourites.
@@Sspringgrainn I used to attend their gigs at Crystal Ballroom in Melbourne.
Misused Abused always went down a treat live.
The first time I ever got stoned was in a Combi Van with the members of Split End after one of their gigs in Rye in about 75/76
Split Enz gearing up for the 80's.
Seen them at Manly beach late 70s amazing, you forget how good this song is 🔥
Used to live on Middle head road in Mosman 81 to 83. Remember going to the waterslides and aquarium in Manly. Great memories.
I like it , like a croos between the Hives and DEVO . l remember having a tape cassett of Split Enz when me and my wife went to Australia it was live , l remember a song called Shark Attack , that was brilliant
I agree, 'Shark Attack' is another great Split Enz song 😀👍 Not so great: The YT absence of the official clip to that song with decent audio! 😏
I think I mentioned this before.....but I have amazing memories of this band....saw them in London. ...summer 1978.... and was amazed,and if I'm honest I still am to see Neil Finn do a solo on the......" Electric Spoons "!!! I kid you not.....brilliant 👏👏
Sounds very cool indeed!😀👍 It had been Noel Crombie doing the spoon solo during their shows, though 😉
@mightyboy1111 was a long time ago...you're absolutely correct it was Noel.....👏👏
@@markferrett700 - All good 😊 I only know this because he's also doing it on the 'yellow' Split Enz DVD 😉 I was only 8 in '78 and heard their name for the first time in 1980 and their actual music only after my move from Germany to NZ in 2002! 😅
Takes me back to the summer of '79 (Jan-Feb). It was good to see them punk it up for a change and have a bit of decent chart success.
Thereabouts, I remember first hearing it while I was riding my skateboard at Doncaster shoppingtown in Melbourne. I was about 14 yo and a few older kids in a yellow Sandman had it blasting out of the back. I stopped to listen and they saw me, one of the young guys abused me but a girl in the back of the van flashed her top half at me. They thought it was hilarious and I couldn't wait to tell the kids at school on monday. Every 14 year old boys dream back then. LMAO
@@iankearns774 Sorry mate, if you were a Sydney guy and had that experience, you probably encounted me and my mates and my girlfriend. One of my girlfriends was about 18 or 19, and she enjoyed flirting with boys that had just hit puberty and she did flash at young boys from the local private school. Not the most legal thing to do - not even in 1979. I was about 18 at the time when ''I See Red'' was released, and was driving around Sydney in a Kombi with a few surfboards at the back - hanging around Bondi beach with my mates and our girlfriends, giving younger kids a hard time. If you were one of our victims, sorry about that..
so talented looking so young tim, lol love em
Magnificent! Eddie Vedder sung it with them in NZ early 2000s, him and Neil are like brothers...
Good song ... Loved by us Countdown kids in the day.

Kia ora hello my friends hay thank you guys the first time i saw these dudes was the 1983 Sweetwaters music festival with my dad they were the Headliners of the three days with TOOTS THE CHURCH DD SMASH THE SCREAMING ME MEES THE NETHEREORLD DANCING TOYS TO MANY BAND'S TO REMEMBER OFF HAND.THE LAST TIME I SAW THEM WAS IN THE MID NINETIES AT THE BOWL OF BROOKLANDS IN NEW PLYMOUTH TARANAKI THE STAGE DOESN'T NEED A CROWD BARRIER BECAUSE IT HAS A SHELLOW LAKE IN FRONT OF IT AND YOU COULD SEE HUNDREDS OF HEADS POKING OUT OF THE WATER IT ALSO HAS GLOW WORMS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE BUSHES
We'd love to see it.
@@hanierfamily it's right here above or below
Probably my favourite Split Enz song from back in the day. Their quirky style of music & videos reminds me a bit like Devo.
Since you like this, you may also like John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett singing Really Free from 1976.
Yes! The infamous 'Old Grey Whistle Test' live version! 😁
Watching from the Philippines 👏👏👏
This was kind of their answer to the punks, hence the title. As you mentioned, the arrival of Neil into the band, roughly coincided with their more conservative costuming. Eddie Rayner, the piano player, was the instrumental center of the group, and the great songwriting was really starting to gel by this point. Good choice.
There is a Roxy connection here, more specifically a Phil Manzanera (Roxy’s guitar player) connection. Split Enz were the support act for Roxy in Australia in 75. Phil really liked them and offered to help them. This led to Phil producing their 2nd LP and later some guitar lessons for one of them.
Phil and Tim Finn have also in the last couple of years made two LPs together, the first of these during lockdown.
I don't listen to them but if someone else is playing anything by them, I usually enjoy it.
Neil Finn is special, but so is his brother Tim, the singer of this song. Whether you are talking about the bands they have been in, or their solo stuff, they always hit.
I think I would describe this ad proto-punk.
❤❤❤❤
1980 i got you
Thumbs up 👍🏻 😻🤩I’ve subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
so much fun
Pity you don't do Tim Finn's solo "Made My Day"
Band is great, song is great, reaction was great. Thanks for that :)
Hi Cynthia and Chris, i have recently subscribed to your channel and i love the variety of music that you like to listen to, I live in England and one of my favourite artists was Rory Gallagher who sadly passed away in 1995, my requested song is Rory Gallagher: Walk on Hot Coals- Old Grey Whistle Test 1973...i hope you enjoy the song.
Unfortunately, this particular video cannot be viewed in Australia. Split Enz have blocked uploads of their videos in the Australasian region, and have only allowed clips on their official channel to be accessible in Australia. That would be fine if their upoads didn't have the look and sound of an old VHS collection. I'm pleased that Austech and nzoz uploads of Split Enz clips are accessible in Canada. I didn't even know Austech had this clip on his channel. Much better than the nzoz1978 upload.
Yeah, I've refrained several times from suggesting certain Split Enz songs because of that "VHS collection" fact 😏 The 'Give It A Whirl' clip is particularly bad, with its awful audio 😬
@@mightyV444 It was a pleasant discovery to see that my Split Enz uploads on my nzoz channels were available in the rest of the world. I thought they were blocked world wide. I do recommend the Haniers use Austech's uploads of Split Enz stuff rather than my nzoz uploads (unless I have a song that Austech does not have). Split Enz made good videos in their time.
@@OnceWasRStrathfield - Yeah, I'm able to watch your and also Austech's Split Enz uploads here in NZ without any problems, too 😉👍 I'm unable to find the 'I See Red' clip the Haniers were watching, though!? 🤔 I also wonder how they'd react to stuff from the pre-Neil / Judd era, like 'Spellbound' , for example 😁 Too bad there's no good-quality version of 'Sweet Dreams' either! (I do have the 'yellow' DVD, though! 😉)
@@OnceWasRStrathfield - Have you meanwhile left this channel, mate?! I haven't seen you comment under the latest Aussie videos despite your name being among the ones recommending those songs!
Tim Finn's voice sounds a lot like Feargal Sharkey's, I reckon (the Undertones' singer, later solo) 🙂
Request: Sunnyboys - Happy Man (using the non-youtube link I provided in the email). I can't post links in the comment section for some reason.
I had a comment vanish yesterday because I'd mentioned the Pat Wilson song 'B*p Girl' (without the * ) 😳
@@mightyV444 I really don't want the Haniers to react to Bop Girl. That's just too Australian imo. Why would ''bop'' cause a comment to vanish?
@@OnceWasRStrathfield - Heaven knows! Or at least, my comment *didn't* vanish the second time 'round, after I'd replaced the song's title with "that Pat Wilson song". Nah, it wasn't a suggestion to this channel; Ross Wilson had popped up in a chat I was having with Gillian (LiveItUp) last night and subsequently this song performed by his then-wife. Which I actually quite enjoyed! 😁😉 My suggestion of a Mike Watt song yesterday has meanwhile vanished also, for no obvious reasons, along with an Iggy Pop one on Countdown 😏
@@mightyV444 Iggy Pop on Countdown made TV history in Australia. It's hilarious that he showed Ian Meldrum up like that.
Which Mike Watt song did you request? I like some Minutemen stuff.
@@OnceWasRStrathfield - Yeah, that's where I'd first heard him myself, and also with Firehose 🙂 I'd suggested his song 'Big Train' from the mid 90's, also because of its great clip 😁 Iggy is bloody annoying in that Countdown one! I would've reacted like Molly Meldrum, too! 😅 'Coincidentally', there's also a promo clip of 'Im Bored' that was filmed here in Wellington/NZ! 😊
Is it still Canada day there? It would be good if you checked out a Canadian expat in Oz who was the most amazing vocalist in a band called 'The loved ones', my fav being 'Everloving man'.😇
That song has already been done. Gerry Humphries was an English expat. Wendy Matthews is the only Canadian expat that had success in Australia as far as I'm aware.
@@Robbo766 I was a boy when they performed and I do remember the Canada connection, glad you've already covered it was unaware, you go up a peg in my eyes.
@@MrLittlelud4 He was also Barry Humphries' English-born brother! Am I still up a peg in your eyes, or has that comment earned me a demotion? ha, ha
@@Robbo766 You seem to know what you are saying, I am not so convinced I am right about Canada but am still impressed you actually covered them, hope you enjoyed Canada day.
Where are you guys from ?
Brampton, Ontario.
