@@deletebilderberg Bro? I can assure you sir you’re not my brother. If you can name this handy knot you can sail with me. It’s ideal because it can be tied very quickly. On sailboats I usually use it for securing fender whips to a lifeline, stanchion base or toerail. It can be easily adjusted to raise or lower a fender as needed. It can also be used to temporarily secure a dock line to a piling, very handy. Experience life. Don’t watch it sail by from your screen. Do you think at life’s end you’ll be wondering why you should of bought the 8K OLED display or the 4k? Exactly. It’s the memories not the things.
Fantastic song from my youth. The time to go from New Zealand or Australia to Britain...six months. Tim Finn also had a run in with mental health issues that lasted ...Six months. The idea is that his mind was a leaky boat for six months. I, for one, am glad that he made this song dealing with it.
And he’s up there. What’s that? Hawaiian noises? He’s banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee. Oh that ain’t workin’ - that’s the way you do it - get your money for nothing and your chicks for free.
+geoffwright77 I found my 2yr old son singing the wiggles version, I had not paid attention to the wiggles dvd he had, then I realized he loved this song, I googled it and I ended up here :)
A kind of Antipodean 'Sailor' (of Glass of Champagne fame) really. Heard this for the first time in my life last night on local radio in Manchester U.K!
I remember when this was released in 1982. I think the British govt banned it for a while because of the Falklands War and they figured it wouldn't be good for morale for all the personnel serving on ships in the rough South Atlantic. (PS. When I posted this there was 182 comments and I had only read about 20 so if the information had already been posted, no theft/copying/ripping off intended).
@@anthonycarey7641 That's odd, because it got to Number 1 in Argentina. Only joking. Thanks for explaining why I didn't hear it at the time it was released.
I got an answer on Jeopardy because of this song... it was something like "Maori call NZ by this name" I literally sang it A-OH-TAY-Ah-ROW-uhhh Might have been a triple stumper... C'mon all you lads to have sang it in person on stage? Now that would have been awesome lol
"The tyranny of distance didn't stop the cavalier. So why should it stop me..." What great song writing back then! Song writing today is THE TYRANNY OF MEDIOCRITY. Man I Miss the 80's.
omg memories , someone on FB mentioned the little round plastic centre piece you put in 45 records to play them on a turntable back in the day and the first 45 I bought and played on turntable was this song I was reminded today and had to go listen to this song again wow the lyrics were pretty interesting I never listen to music that wasn't!!
love this song i love this county 2 newzealand all the way Dammit! Expected to hear that gorgeous outro... denied. Dammit! Expected to hear that gorgeous outro... denied.
@@RichKnight36 Split Enz featured Tim and Neil Finn. Tim was the lead singer for Split Enz and Neil was the lead singer for Crowded House. Ionically, I learned this from researching a guest performer on one of my son’s Wiggles videos. That was Tim singing Six Months in a Leaky Boat.
The Wiggles sang this too. They did good. They are a band for kids. Younger. But if you want to search it up say "The Wiggles Six months in a Leaky Boat." This band is also amazing.
The best band from New Zeland! "the land of the long white cloud" Aotearoa "Round the horn if you dare" what a great song I'm doing this song at end of term produtions
“Don’t be fooled by her kind”... I shoulda been listening lol. But only experience can write songs, poetry, create art. Love from America to the Aussies.
The song was banned by the BBC During the Falkland wars against the Argentine during the Dirty wars was happened in Argentina and the fall of dictator in Argentina

my favourite song from New Zealand...the lyrics take on great meaning when you think about Tim's inspiration
Tim?
Gorgeous song. First album I ever owned was a K-Tel Hits Express 1982. It had this song as so many other ones that defined my childhood.
This song gives out the best energy ❤️
I’m sailing 500 miles off the Galápagos Islands in heavy seas listening to this song. My boat is leaky too. 🎶 🌊
Lucky Jack or the Acheron anywhere in sight?
Nice story bro.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this, it is so meaningful.
Been looking for this song for years - now I found it : )
Aotearoa is the Māori name for New Zealand. Love this song, remember it like it was yesterday.
I'm here thanks to my 3 year old daughter's love of The Wiggles.
Totally! That's the reason I know this song, too! Introduced to it by the Wiggles years ago!! How funny!
Ernie Wyles Weirdly I remember their song 'I Got You' from when I was a kid, I just didn't know the name of the group who did it. Both great songs!

How old were you?
Peaked at No. 104 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Charts in 1982. Such a great tune.
It was banned from the BBC during the Falkland war against the Argentine (During the Dictatorship in Argentina) in 1982

Me and my syndicate did this for our syndicate sining and then we performed it to our whole school and it sounded really good.

Americans unfortunately never really got to hear Split Enz. Thank God for TH-cam.
And out of Split Enz came Crowded House. Another great band.
@@80smusicfan11 Really? Now that, I didn't know. And Crowded House was big here in the States.
@@RichKnight36 Split Enz featured Tim and Neil
Finn. Tim was the lead singer for Split Enz and Neil was the lead singer for Crowded House. Ionically, I learned this from researching a guest performer on one of my son’s Wiggles videos. That was Tim singing Six Months in a Leaky Boat.
I'm porforming this at school in two weeks!
The Wiggles sang this too. They did good. They are a band for kids. Younger. But if you want to search it up say "The Wiggles Six months in a Leaky Boat."
This band is also amazing.
If you like The Wiggles, they were The Cockroaches before they became a children's group. Their songs from the 80's were awesome.
wtf...
THAT'S where I remember it from! Damn, it's been a long time and I completely forgot about that.
@@B04875 I Love The Wiggles They're On Of My Favorite Children's Band In The World!!!:)
