I can't stop playing it ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHH

I think its the end bit with flaired pants and sharing a smoke.

It is seriously an addictive song. The concept:
"Do what ya wanna do be what ya wanna be YEAH"
And the babe in the clip is probably now a granny...

You're more than welcome sir. And thanks for all the great music in response.

A song for today...
I Don't Like Mondays

Cougar - Crumbling Down

Edit: the rats link.

[Turkey]

For sheer bizarreness it's difficult to top this: Enter the Ninja

The genre is "Zef" which is South African bogan / trailer trash.

I was listening to "I don't like Mondays" a few days back and was going post it. Nice tune man.

I always liked this rats song as well

Here's another local gem IMHO:
The Go-Betweens - Bye Bye Pride

Many is the time I've climbed the balcony at the Griffith University refectory to gain a free ticket to see these guys. $4 evening. $2.50 on the bottle of royal reserve port and $1.50 spent on a token beer in the refec. Circa 1986.

When I was about 15 or so I went on the spirit on new zealand. That was cool. Take a bunch of school kids and whack them on a boat. Do they do a similar thing here?

Those masts are tall. I remember being absolutely freaked out climbing up them and spent most of my time doing navigation rather than climbing the rigging. Then they showed us a movie one night of people doing it for real on big boats. Made our tiddly little mast seem nothing and the next day I was up there happily.

They do Tor. There are two ships Alma Doepel (below) and another. I believe it is the enterprize.

You lucky bugger. I applied for the "young endeavour" trip reenacting the original voyage as part of the bicentennial celebrations in 88. No room for a young clown on that trip, they chose useful people with a head for heights. The closest I've come was a delivery trip of a sydney to hobart yacht down the east coast. The "young endeavour" runs as a youth challenge venture. The RAN help run it. link It's actually pretty cheap and if you are on a centrelink benefit you can get a $500 subsidy. You have to be between 18-23YO.

You've sailed SY - HB? You lucky bugger. We must talk it over when Tor gets his thingo built. I love hearing about sailing passages being a wannabe pirate Captain (and a sailor).

Any way its late 70s and 80s this week for me...

The Breakup Song (Greg Kihn)

The Stroke

Only a delivery trip. It was an ill fated voyage. Taking the boat from Brisbane to Sydney as part of a "competent crew" certification. (logging hours) We punched into 30 foot waves all the way to coffs. I had crew members that couldn't move due to the dreaded "mal de mer". The skipper vomited on me. Luckily it was up on deck and a wave swiftly washed the puke off my "oilskins". I didn't start thinking it was personal until he poured diesel on me in my sleep. Due to the lack of the two crewman with the sickness double watch was required. Me, Ms clown and "guy who worked prawn trawlers off cairns" (and the skipper) worked 40 hours straight. The remaining sleepless crew mutinied at coffs due to bad weather. Other boats were coming back in. The skipper (god bless him) wanted to keep going.

Ms clown did an all girl trip the year before and apart from hitting a charted rock and almost dying, trusted her captain far more. (I was land lubber support crew and drove a mutineer down to sydney from coffs) Ms clown got to surf way off the shelf and saw phosphorescence, wild stars, mutton birds, schools of sharks and black seas. And then the wind swung miraculously into the south just the right moment. And they cruised into Sydney harbour. We had beers at rushcutters bay.
