I love this song. The fact that it didn’t get to number one because of one of the biggest musical mistakes of all time makes me almost physically sick (not really).
It’s still a work of genius, in my honest opinion. One of the finest songs to emerge from the early 80s and still one of my favourites.
Horrible video though
“Whassamatta you? (hey!)
Gotta no respect?
Whaddaya think you do?
Why you looka so sad?
It’s-a not so bad
It’s-a nice-a place
Ah, shaddap you face!”
Classic piece of Aussie culture.
Midgie deserved that for inflicting us with all those pious, sanctimonious, hypocrite do-gooders, like Bongo and his sycophantic followers.
