The Cold War was at its height
214
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:47,500
and many experts warned that
nuclear war was a real possibility.
215
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:50,500
Politics found its way
into the music of the day.
216
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:50,780
Mass media, government,

Politics found its way
into the music of the day.
217
00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:53,740
Mass media, government,
like Khartoum,
218
00:09:53,740 --> 00:09:55,340
Ron Reagan being president,
219
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:58,020
so people don't realise that
in order to have freedom,
220
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:58,300
so people don't realise that
in order to have freedom,
they have to think about it
and fight for it every day.
221
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:02,660
they have to think about it
and fight for it every day.
222
00:10:02,660 --> 00:10:07,020
A Sinking Ship.
I mean, is there any symbolism?
223
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:09,780
It's like Margaret Thatcher's
Britain.
224
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:13,580
Margaret Thatcher's sort of
sinking Britain, I think.
225
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:13,820
Margaret Thatcher's sort of
sinking Britain, I think.
Destroying the place.
226
00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:15,300
Destroying the place.
227
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:16,740
In what way?
228
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:18,060
Well, she's making it...
229
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:21,860
..turning it into a cold,
right-wing, horrible country,
230
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:24,980
where it's the survival
of the fittest.
231
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:28,660
And if you're poor and
unemployed and that, I mean,
232
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:29,420
what does she care?
233
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:31,620
And we're still torturing
people in prisons
234
00:10:31,620 --> 00:10:31,860
And we're still torturing
and things like that.
235
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:33,340
and things like that.
236
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:37,020
There's plenty of things.
Punk is a protest movement.
237
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:41,300
Maybe not quite as sensational now
as it was five, six years ago,
238
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:42,380
but it's very necessary
239
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:45,180
because there's plenty
of things to protest about.
240
00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:47,700
Countdown featured many
politically aware bands
241
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,180
prepared to make statements.
242
00:10:57,460 --> 00:11:01,780
# Here, now, we're dancing
in the square
243
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:08,260
# Victory, with foul rain
in the air
244
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:15,100

245

Hello, everybody.
I'm Donna Summer.
286
00:14:22,420 --> 00:14:25,060
And you're watching
Countdown '83, coast to coast.
287
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:25,300
And you're watching
Countdown '83, coast to coast.
# Do you want to funk
288
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:26,900
# Do you want to funk
289
00:14:28,740 --> 00:14:30,740
# Won't you tell me now
290
00:14:32,220 --> 00:14:33,740
# If you want to funk
291
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:36,180

# Do you want to funk with me? #
293

Alongside rock and pop,
294
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:44,740
Countdown had always supported
dance music and the club scene.
295
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:48,460
'83 saw the rise and rise
of Michael Jackson,
296
00:14:48,460 --> 00:14:50,140
from Moonwalk to Thriller.
297
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:51,140
On the American charts,
298
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:54,260
this particular guy and the picture
disc is now out in Australia,
299
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:56,780
is Michael Jackson,
and he's had four, I think,
300
00:14:56,780 --> 00:14:58,780
yeah, four singles on
the American charts
301
00:14:58,780 --> 00:14:59,020
yeah, four singles on
and they just keep coming, alright?
302
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:00,260
and they just keep coming, alright?
303
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:01,700
# What a feeling... #
304
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:01,940
One of the biggest movies
of the year
# What a feeling... #
305
00:15:01,940 --> 00:15:03,540
One of the biggest movies
of the year
306
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:06,180
gave rise to one of
the biggest dance crazes -
307
00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:06,420
gave rise to one of
the biggest dance crazes -
Flashdance.
308
00:15:06,420 --> 00:15:07,620
Flashdance.
309
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:11,100
Countdown ran its own
Flashdance competition.
310
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:17,940
Michael Sembello, one of the key
songwriters for the movie,
311
00:15:17,940 --> 00:15:19,020
performed on the show.
312
00:15:19,020 --> 00:15:19,220
# I was such a lonely, lonely boy
performed on the show.
313
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:22,940
# I was such a lonely, lonely boy
314
00:15:22,940 --> 00:15:26,500
# Automatic was my toy
315
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:33,780
# Never dreamed
he would steal her away... #
316
00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:34,060
# Never dreamed
he would steal her away... #
But the biggest Flashdance star
to appear on Countdown in '83
317
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:38,020
But the biggest Flashdance star
to appear on Countdown in '83
318
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:38,260
But the biggest Flashdance star
was undoubtedly Laura Branigan.
319
00:15:38,260 --> 00:15:40,500
was undoubtedly Laura Branigan.
320
00:15:56,060 --> 00:16:02,220
# Gloria, you're always
on the run now
321
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:04,580

322
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:08,260
# You gotta get him somehow
323
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:11,900
# I think you've got to slow down
324
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:15,420
# Before you start to blow it
325
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,260
# I think you're headed
for a breakdown
326
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:22,660
# So be careful not to show it
327
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,140
# You really don't remember
328
00:16:27,140 --> 00:16:30,740

# You don't have to answer
337
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,260

00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:15,900
# Don't believe it's coming
back soon
355
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,140
# Don't believe it's coming
# And you really don't remember
356
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:19,180
# And you really don't remember
357
00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:22,860
# Was it something that he said
358
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:31,900
# Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria
359
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:36,500
# Gloria,
I think they got your number
360
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:36,740
# Gloria,
# Gloria
361
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:38,140
# Gloria
362
00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:41,460
# I think they got the alias
# Gloria
363
00:18:41,460 --> 00:18:44,780
# That you've been living under
# Gloria
364
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:45,060
# But you really don't
remember
# That you've been living under
# Gloria
365
00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:48,340
# But you really don't
remember
366
00:18:48,340 --> 00:18:48,580
# Was it something that they said
remember
367
00:18:48,580 --> 00:18:51,900
# Was it something that they said
368
00:18:51,900 --> 00:19:01,300
# Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria. #
369
00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:13,060
I don't know what
I'm supposed to say.
370
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:14,380
I can't remember.
371
00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:16,580
MOLLY: You're watching Countdown.
Oh, that's right. Right.
372
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:16,820
MOLLY: You're watching Countdown.
Oh, that's right. Right.
OK. Hi, this is Mark Holden.
373
00:19:16,820 --> 00:19:19,100
OK. Hi, this is Mark Holden.
374
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:21,100
You're watching Countdown
coast to coast.
375
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:28,260
In 1983, a bunch of '70s acts
proved they still had it.
376
00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:32,620
KC and his Sunshine Band
performed their anthemic dance hit.
377
00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:32,860
KC and his Sunshine Band
performed their anthemic dance hit.
# Everybody wants you
378
00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:35,140
# Everybody wants you
379
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:39,820
# Everybody wants your love
380
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:44,620
# I'd just like to make you
mine, all mine
381
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:50,460
# Na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
na, na, na, now
382
00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:50,700
# Na, na, na, na, na, na, na,
# Baby, give it up
383
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:51,780
# Baby, give it up
384
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:53,140
# Give it up
385
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:55,100
# Baby, give it up... #
386
00:19:55,100 --> 00:20:00,260
David Bowie dropped in to Sydney
to explain his latest incarnation.
387
00:20:00,260 --> 00:20:02,820
Uh, is there any pressure on you
when you have to come down
388
00:20:02,820 --> 00:20:05,340
and make the decision
to do a new album?
389
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:08,900
No, I've always written
to please myself,
390
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:11,460
so whatever seems
to be happening around me,
391
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:15,740
it's sort of a pleasant
background, really.
392
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:18,220
The music that I've
written for the new album,
393
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:20,740
I've gone back to a lot of the
R&B things that I used to listen to.
394
00:20:20,740 --> 00:20:21,780
Right.
395
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:22,020
Now, the title track is called
Right.
396
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:23,580
Now, the title track is called
Let's Dance,
397
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:24,940
which is a very danceable
track.
398
00:20:24,940 --> 00:20:25,180
which is a very danceable
Yeah.
399
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:25,940
Yeah.
400
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:28,100
When and where did you write
that?
401
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:31,380
Again, in fact, lyrically,
402
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:35,940
the thing has a lot more to do
with Heroes
403
00:20:35,940 --> 00:20:39,900
than it has to do
with disco lyrics.
404
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,260
There's a desperation
behind the lyric.
405
00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:44,660
It's almost sort of a last dance.
406
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:47,140
It was going to be called
Last Dance at one time,
407
00:20:47,140 --> 00:20:48,860
but I changed it to Let's Dance.
408
00:20:48,860 --> 00:20:52,340
Oh, that's better. Come on.
409
00:20:52,340 --> 00:20:52,580
Come all this way to get a sun
Oh, that's better. Come on.
410
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:56,180
Come all this way to get a sun
tan, it's a cloudy day.
411
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:56,420
Come all this way to get a sun
It is a cloudy day.
412
00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:57,180
It is a cloudy day.
413
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,860
It's been hot
earlier on, though.
414
00:20:58,860 --> 00:21:03,260
Bonnie Tyler's career
took a successful U-turn.
415
00:21:03,260 --> 00:21:05,820
I described you at one stage as
being the female Rod Stewart,
416
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:06,100
if you remember.
Yeah.
I described you at one stage as
being the female Rod Stewart,
417
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:07,540
if you remember.
Yeah.
418
00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:09,460
And that was with the
big number one...
419
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:09,700
It's a Heartache.
big number one...
420
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:10,660
It's a Heartache.
421
00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:12,140
It's a Heartache, right.
422
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:13,140
Well, it was a good song.
423
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:15,220
I mean, it sold nearly
eight million copies worldwide,
424
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:15,460
I mean, it sold nearly
eight million copies worldwide,
so it was a good song.
425
00:21:15,460 --> 00:21:17,500
so it was a good song.
426
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:20,300
I liked that and I also like
Lost in France,
427
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:21,340
but then after that...
428
00:21:21,340 --> 00:21:22,700
Did it typecast you, you think?
429
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,340
Yeah, because, you know, from
there on, I didn't progress at all.
430
00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:29,980
It was just a lot of
It's a Heartaches over again,
431
00:21:29,980 --> 00:21:31,420
which nobody was
really interested in.
432
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:33,260
And I wasn't happy
singing them anyway.
433
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:36,540
I wanted to do the kind of songs
that I was happy with
434
00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:40,660
and when I decided, you know,
I needed to make this change,
435
00:21:40,660 --> 00:21:43,180
I thought, "Well,
if people like it, great.
436
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:43,420
I thought, "Well,
"But if they don't like it,
437
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:44,180
"But if they don't like it,
438
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:47,060
"at least I'm doing something
that I'll be enjoying."
439
00:21:47,060 --> 00:21:50,260
And I enjoyed every minute
of making the album. It's terrific.
440
00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:52,300
And Countdown favourites Dragon
441
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,580
were back with one of
the songs of the decade.
442
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:56,020
First of all, congratulations
on Rain.
443
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:56,300
You must be delighted.
Thank you.
First of all, congratulations
on Rain.
444
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:58,220
You must be delighted.
Thank you.
445
00:21:58,220 --> 00:22:01,340
Perth has still got to start
moving a bit with this single.
446
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:02,340
Perth is see-sawing.
447
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:04,580
Yeah, and I'm sure it'll go back...
448
00:22:04,580 --> 00:22:04,820
Yeah, and I'm sure it'll go back...
As I said, it could go back
to number one.
449
00:22:04,820 --> 00:22:06,180
As I said, it could go back
to number one.
450
00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:08,460
In fact, it's number one where?
In Melbourne this week?
451
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,700
It's number one on three
stations in Melbourne.
452
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:12,180
In Sydney, I think
it's two or three.
453
00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:12,420
In Sydney, I think
Fantastic.
454
00:22:12,420 --> 00:22:13,180
Fantastic.
455
00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:17,700
When you recorded, I know you
all hoped to have a hit,
456
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:19,940
did you think that it would be
this big, Marc?
457
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:20,780
I didn't.
458
00:22:20,780 --> 00:22:22,940
I thought it would be great
if it got to top 20,
459
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:23,180
I thought it would be great
but then, I can't pick any songs.
460
00:22:23,180 --> 00:22:25,420
but then, I can't pick any songs.
461
00:22:25,420 --> 00:22:27,660
I thought April Sun in Cuba
would get maybe in the top 20,
462
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:29,220
I don't know.
I don't have a commercial ear.
463
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:32,260
It's been an amazing, I think,
comeback by the group.
464
00:22:32,260 --> 00:22:33,940
Because it's not often
a group that splits up
465
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:34,180
Because it's not often
can do this sort of thing.
466
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:35,340
can do this sort of thing.
467
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:35,580
We're quite amazed.
can do this sort of thing.
468
00:22:35,580 --> 00:22:36,940
We're quite amazed.
We're very happy.
469
00:22:50,100 --> 00:22:53,300
# It's a happening thing
470
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,900
# And it's happening to you
471
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:59,460
# Full moon and thunder
472
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:02,460
# Ribbons of blue
473
00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:05,500
# Ice on the window
474
00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:08,820
# Ice in my heart
475
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:11,540
# Fooling with thunder
476
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:14,300
# Every time we start

# It's been raining for so long
# Every time we start

# It's been raining
for so long

00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:29,820
# Oh is it any wonder?
481
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:30,020
# Oh is it any wonder?
# The streets are dark
482
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:33,100
# The streets are dark
483
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,860
# Is it any wonder
484
00:23:35,860 --> 00:23:38,940
# We fall apart
485
00:23:38,940 --> 00:23:43,580
# Day after day
straight rain falls down
486
00:23:45,060 --> 00:23:46,980
# All over town
487
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:50,660
# Rain come
488
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:55,260

# Don't go out in pouring rain

494
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,540
# Is it any wonder
495
00:24:30,540 --> 00:24:33,820
# Streets are dark
496
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:36,340
# Is it any wonder

00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:39,100
# We fall apart
498
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:43,300
# All these feelings
that seem so wrong
499
00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:50,940
# Remember we were so strong
500
00:24:50,940 --> 00:24:57,100
# Well it's been raining
for so long
501
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:57,340
# Well it's been raining

502

503
00:25:00,060 --> 00:25:03,700

509
00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:52,740
What's happening now
in our concerts
510
00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:54,780
as opposed to a year ago,
the place was swarmed.
511
00:25:54,780 --> 00:25:55,020
It was like kindergarten with kids.
the place was swarmed.
512
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:56,940
It was like kindergarten with kids.
513
00:25:56,940 --> 00:25:57,140
It was like kindergarten with kids.
There are more adults there, now.
514
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:58,980
There are more adults there, now.
515
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:00,820
Particularly, I think,
because of the girls.
516
00:26:00,820 --> 00:26:04,020
The girls are wearing
less and less clothing.
517
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:07,740
Although pop music has always
preferred its women underdressed,
518
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:09,940
many female performers used
Countdown
519
00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:12,740
to help forge their own
identities.
520
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:16,580
# Now's the time to assess
the state you're in
521
00:26:18,340 --> 00:26:20,100

00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:38,500
Here it is here.
699
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:40,700
# All the scratching
is making me itch. #
700
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,300
Well, how about that, eh?
701
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:53,860
On behalf of Michael Jackson
and Serious Records,
702
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:58,780
I would like to present this
to you and to Countdown.
703
00:37:58,780 --> 00:38:00,180
This particular jacket,
would you believe,
704
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:03,020
you can put a Walkman in there
and the earphones are here.
705
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:05,020
So instead of having the
earphones cruising down the street
706
00:38:05,020 --> 00:38:07,540
or on your rollerskates
or on your bike, whatever,
707
00:38:07,540 --> 00:38:10,060
you can hear it through, would
you believe, your collar.
708
00:38:10,060 --> 00:38:10,300
you can hear it through, would
It's crazy, I know.
709
00:38:10,300 --> 00:38:11,140
It's crazy, I know.
710
00:38:11,140 --> 00:38:12,620
They're printing things
in the newspapers
711
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:12,900
about gourmet things
with Vegemite in it.
They're printing things
in the newspapers
712
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:15,220
about gourmet things
with Vegemite in it.
713
00:38:15,220 --> 00:38:16,700
For all the Australians,
it's hysterical.
714
00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:18,340
But they're selling them
in quite a lot of shops.
715
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:18,580
So what's your shop called?
in quite a lot of shops.
716
00:38:18,580 --> 00:38:19,820
So what's your shop called?
717
00:38:19,820 --> 00:38:20,020
So what's your shop called?
It's called Koala Blue.
718
00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:21,340
It's called Koala Blue.
719
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,380
Koala Blue.
720
00:38:22,380 --> 00:38:25,620
And Koala stands for
'corner of Australia in LA'.
721
00:38:25,620 --> 00:38:27,500
Like that name?
Yeah.
722
00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:32,860
Advances in recording technology
made it more economic
723
00:38:32,860 --> 00:38:35,700
for musicians to start
building their own studios.
724
00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:38,420
Bigger was not
necessarily better.
725
00:38:38,420 --> 00:38:38,700
We invested all our money
from our record company
Bigger was not
necessarily better.
726
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:41,500
We invested all our money
from our record company
727
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:43,900
and bought ourselves
an eight track studio,
728
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:46,740
and that's where we made this album.
729
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:49,220
And we've been working on that
album for the past nine months
730
00:38:49,220 --> 00:38:52,060
in a warehouse in Camden Town.
731
00:38:52,060 --> 00:38:54,460
Made it ourselves, wrote it
ourselves, produced it,
732
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:57,540
arranged it, recorded it,
engineered it, everything.
733
00:38:57,540 --> 00:39:02,300
And Sweet Dreams has done
incredibly well in this country.
734
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:04,500
Our philosophy was
after we'd had the experience
735
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:07,020
of being in a group with
five people, same people,
736
00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:09,940
getting fed up with it,
that small was beautiful.
737
00:39:09,940 --> 00:39:10,180
getting fed up with it,
And so what we did was we decided
738
00:39:10,180 --> 00:39:11,980
And so what we did was we decided
739
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:14,780
that we would have control
over everything that we did.
740
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:20,180
So as a matter of fact, that
particular video was written by us,
741
00:39:20,180 --> 00:39:20,420
So as a matter of fact, that
mainly by Dave, actually.
742
00:39:20,420 --> 00:39:21,460
mainly by Dave, actually.
743
00:39:21,460 --> 00:39:21,700
He has a flair
mainly by Dave, actually.
744
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:23,140
He has a flair
of that kind of thing.
745
00:39:23,140 --> 00:39:23,380
He has a flair
And co-directed by him.
746
00:39:23,380 --> 00:39:25,100
And co-directed by him.
747
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:29,620
So in this way, we're able to
kind of really have a lot of control
748
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:30,540
over what comes out
749
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:30,780
and I think it's the best way
over what comes out
750
00:39:30,780 --> 00:39:34,020
and I think it's the best way
for us, works very well.
751
00:39:34,020 --> 00:39:36,540
Independent bands were beginning
to challenge
752
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:40,140
the viability of their
commercially legit counterparts.
753
00:39:40,140 --> 00:39:40,420
Yeah, we're going to have hits
and it's going to be very pure.
the viability of their
commercially legit counterparts.
754
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:43,620
Yeah, we're going to have hits
and it's going to be very pure.
755
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,180
Quite righteous.
756
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:49,300
It's going to be young music
controlled by young people
757
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:49,540
It's going to be young music
controlled by young people
and sold to a young audience.
758
00:39:49,540 --> 00:39:52,700
and sold to a young audience.
759
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,180
And it was seen very much
as an alternative.
760
00:39:55,180 --> 00:40:00,180
We picked up on that and marketed
ourselves quite aggressively.
761
00:40:00,180 --> 00:40:00,420
We picked up on that and marketed
And we've had hits on Polydor.
762
00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:04,380
And we've had hits on Polydor.
763
00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:06,580
You have talked a lot,
I'm telling you.
764
00:40:06,580 --> 00:40:06,820
You have talked a lot,
(BOTH LAUGH)
765
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:07,900
(BOTH LAUGH)
766
00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:09,460
Yeah, actually,
I'd forgotten the question.
767
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:15,980
# I told her that it's an ill wind
768
00:40:15,980 --> 00:40:20,660
# Blows no good
Blows no good
769
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:20,900
# Blows no good
Blows no good
# Then she told me
770
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:22,500
# Then she told me
771
00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:27,860
# Tojo never made it
772
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:33,500
# Tojo never made it to Darwin
773
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:36,820
# Tojo never made it... #
774
00:40:36,820 --> 00:40:41,820
Australian indie bands were also
starting to make inroads both at home
775
00:40:41,820 --> 00:40:44,580
and especially in the Old Dart.
776
00:40:44,580 --> 00:40:44,820
In Australia, we've done just
about all that we had to do
and especially in the Old Dart.
777
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:48,220
In Australia, we've done just
about all that we had to do
778
00:40:48,220 --> 00:40:51,820
and the offer came through
and we decided to take it
779
00:40:51,820 --> 00:40:55,100
because there's just
so much to do over here.
780
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:55,380
because there's just
so much to do over here.
Even the stage that we're at in
Australia is equivalent to here,
781
00:40:55,380 --> 00:41:01,260
Even the stage that we're at in
Australia is equivalent to here,
782
00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:04,580
but there was just
so much more work to do.
783
00:41:04,580 --> 00:41:06,860
There was more opportunity.
MOLLY: Right.
784
00:41:06,860 --> 00:41:09,660
First of all, who made the
decision to release the single?
785
00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:10,860
We did.
Right.
786
00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:13,380
And it was a song
written by Grant.
787
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:18,660
And we just chose that single
because it was so unique.
788
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:18,900
And we just chose that single
Everything about it was unique.
789
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:20,300
Everything about it was unique.
790
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:21,980
The rhythm and the melody.
791
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:23,740
And the lyrics, I might add, too.
792
00:41:23,740 --> 00:41:26,020
Yeah. We're in
a situation in the studio
793
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:29,340
where we recorded 10 songs
for the album
794
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:33,260
and all of the group felt
that it was the best single,
795
00:41:33,260 --> 00:41:35,460
and the producer thought
it was the best single,
796
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:39,260
and we're extremely confident
about it.
797

# I recall a schoolboy
coming home

00:41:47,980 --> 00:41:50,180
# Through fields of cane
799
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:52,580
# To a house of tin and timber
800
00:41:52,580 --> 00:41:54,740
# And in the sky
801
00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:57,220
# A rain of falling cinders
802
00:41:57,220 --> 00:41:58,220

00:42:15,540 --> 00:42:17,220
# Like everyone

# Just waiting for a chance

# His father's watch

# He left it in the showers

# And the waste memory-wastes

# I recall a bigger, brighter world
814
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:57,100
# A world of books
815
00:42:57,100 --> 00:42:59,580
# And silent times in thought
816
00:42:59,580 --> 00:43:01,700
# And then the railroad

1983 was a year of experimentation.
831

New instruments,
832
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:10,700
new markets,

new markets,

00:45:11,940 --> 00:45:14,140
new fashions, anything,
835
00:45:14,140 --> 00:45:16,820
as long as it was new and shiny.

00:45:16,820 --> 00:45:17,020
as long as it was new and shiny.

# It's it for me... #
841

We like a lot of different kinds
of music like Cajun music,
# It's it for me... #
842
00:45:25,380 --> 00:45:29,180
We like a lot of different kinds
of music like Cajun music,
843
00:45:29,180 --> 00:45:32,620
which is from the swamps
around New Orleans,
844
00:45:32,620 --> 00:45:35,900
which black French geezers do.
845
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:36,100
which black French geezers do.
And we like high life music

And we like high life music
847
00:45:39,020 --> 00:45:43,020
and we're sort of quite interested
in lots of African music
848
00:45:43,020 --> 00:45:48,620
and the way European music
affects Africans.
849
00:45:48,620 --> 00:45:50,860
Like, you would get African
playing an African song
850
00:45:50,860 --> 00:45:54,300
and he'll just burst into
a heavy metal guitar solo.
851
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:54,540
and he'll just burst into
Stuff like that.
852
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:56,140
Stuff like that.
853
00:45:56,140 --> 00:45:56,380

'cause there ain't no time
Stuff like that.
