Had not realised how good they were . Lost my wife 27 months ago and started to listen to her music , on vinyl as well . How I wish I could listen to this good stuff with her now. Janet was just 58 , we met and fell in love as kids . 32 wonderful year's. Just thought I'd update this , it's 5 years 3 month's since Janet died. I'm still listening to her music . Thank you all for your help and kindness , I still miss the love of my life. Please tell your wives , husbands , partners every day, that you love them . I did not . I regret that .
If you lived through the 80's you can tell almost every single one of Icehouse's influences. They put them all together so perfectly. This was one of my fav 80's songs. I wasted all my batteries on my walkman rewinding this and playing it again. If you get this, congratulations, you lived through the 80's too. :D
I try to explain to my daughter how amazing the 80s we're, it was a unique special time. I feel sorry for people born after the 80s because they missed such a amazing decade. miss the 80s so very much. Now there is to much hatred, violence,war,self obsessed people.
I lived through the 80's and recall things such as the daily threat of Nuclear war with Russia, the Aids epidemic, the Iran-Iraq war, Falklands war (to name a few wars of many during that decade), terrorist acts such as Lockerbie, 1984 anti-Sikh riots (again, to name a few of many during that decade), Reaganomics, 1980 Miami riots ( to name a few of many that decade), Mt St. Helens eruption, US Drought of 1988, El Niño (many of endless disasters during that era), violent individuals such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard Ramirez, as well as hate crimes by Joseph Christopher not to mention that the 80's was a self obsessed ME generation.....your memory must be faded..
Dianna The 90s was the start of todays world. You had the 1992 LA race riots. Schools started to employ security cameras and metal detectors after that. The Unabomber. The 1993 World Trade Center bombings (the original 9/11). The worst domestic terror incident in US history (1995 Oklahoma City bombings). The Waco shootings. The Columbine massacre in 1999. The violent crime in New York city peaked in the early 1990s. The AIDS crisis turned into an global epidemic in the 90s. The Bosnian genocide. The Rwandan genocide. Millions of actual deaths. The OJ Simpson media circus. The Gulf War and CNN’s live exclusive of it inside Iraq. The words “fellatio” and “President of the United States” in the same sentence on prime time TV. The death of Princess Diana by an unscrupulous media. Raunch culture. Jerry Springer and all the sleaze you can poke a stick at. The 80s ended the Cold War in peaceful revolutions. People had hope, respect and honest communication. We are now ruled by an evil cabal that hates the 80s. That includes you.
Stephen Crump: I was born in 1967. You are so right. The 80's are unforgettable. I'm so proud and happy, that I was a part of this decade. Sometimes I wish I could go back with a time machine.
15 years old. 1985. My first live gig. Snogging in the corner with my first girlfriend. I can still remember the feeling even though it seems like a million years ago.
We ARE lucky - in our world now, we can all log on to youtube and have all these great memories and sounds and talent and emotions at the click of a button and share them with people too - 40 years ago it was much more difficult to appreciate the past and get a perspective on the present. I LOVE this song!!
Not to mention even further back we queued up to buy some new single record and we hardly even knew how they looked, much less any details about them artists ;p No internet, where i grew up magazines didnt exist, we loved hem for the bloddy goddam fantastic MUSIC ;p
Australian bands are such a rare commodity now days but back in the 1980's, there were quite alot of them and they all had an impact in one way or another. They will be long remembered here after but it wasn't just the music but the life style, the timeline, the era and that it was mixed with the 1980's and lastly it was in Australia etc. I was almost fortunate enough to be a kid back then and how I wish I could be an adult back then...As the song goes "Not matter how hard you try?! It won't (the 1980's) come your way again (ever again)."
I'm sure i have commented on this song a handful of times, but tonight I want to mention the quality of the songs nuances, you know the tiny hidden sounds casual listeners may not notice, well Icehouse did them wonderfully as was the postpunk/New wave style.. many bands of what is probably rock greatest and most diverse Genre wereoften Absolute Masters at the nuances.. LOVE! and RESPECT! for all..
My mum used to tear through the streets in an old blue Triumph sports car with the roof down with this on full blast at 8.30 in the morning on her way to work. No-one objected
What do you think the lyrics mean? Does he really, as I suspected even before I resaw the video (after re-listening my old singles), imply that all she does for herself is futile vanity and after she, inevitably, will have come to her (well deserved) fall, she will have nowhere to run to, as even he won't touch the soiled dove? Ah, no! Don't answer that, I prefer to remain ambiguous at least with such a beloved song!
It's one of the most creative and artistic periods in musical time, the atmosphere in songs like these was brilliantly executed and the lyrics poignant. Sadly there's very little like this today that sees the light of day in commercial stations...
They don´t make this kinda music anymore. Danceable, synthesised, a great melody, great singing voice without processing it. Just a great track from A to Z
They still do. Look up NEW RETRO WAVE's channel here on YT. Lots of new bands making these gems... Some have been around for a long time. You're welcome. :)
I love everything about this song. I was a big New Romantic/Japan/Roxy Music fan and this was a great song in its own right. Takes me back and I love it more as time goes,
This tune is awesome. It had a big effect on me when I was younger (and I never saw the video until now!: Summer in the countryside, heat on your skin and your loved one by your side. Perfect!
Australian rock band, formed as Flowers in Sydney in 1977, featuring the legendary bass player Guy Pratt who went on to play with Pink Floyd! what a digression, still an absolutely brilliant musician all the same. Thanks Guys still love this track so much - Gatters
4,500, 000 views for an Aussie band is bloody awesome. I guess everyone knows how good they are. One of the best bands to ever come out of Australia, and Iva is a talent you rarely see. Icehouse at their best here........
As a teen I loved the rhythm of this hit, now I enjoy the melancholy of both the song and the video. Funny how the 80s best songs managed to be both upbeat and soft-spoken.
I'm lucky enough to have seen Icehouse along with the Beat supporting Bowie at Milton Keynes bowl 4.7.83 " Serious Moonlight Tour" . Magical simply Magical. XXX.
Andy C Thanks for your note Andy, The 8os were the best times and decade for music, cant get enough of the tunes on you tube,brings my childhood and better days back,today is nothing compared to what we had back then,music,t.v. just one epic era.
My favourite song 40 years ago. Finest Australian synth-pop. April 9th, 1983: 1 (1) Icehouse - Hey, little girl, 2 (2) Moving Pictures - What about me, 3 (3) Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Genetic engineering, 4 (4) Michael Jackson - Billy Jean, 5 (6) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - You go lucky, 6 (7) Journey - Separate ways, 7 (8) Marvin Gaye - Sexual healing, 8 (5) Tears for Fears: Mad world, 9 (-) Pretenders: Back on the chain gang, 10 (-) Weather Girls: It's raining men.
Such a great pop song sounding so fresh after all these years.I`m so glad I was young in the 80`s as we grew up listening to some excellent music. Here is to misspent youth,I salute you ;)
I would, one day love to visit Australia,There are loads of oz bands,Most are brilliant but dont get the recognition for some reason,This song holds many memories for me,It will always be part of my life and its 33 years young,It still beats the shit out of anything of today,And is going to take some beating full stop,This tune is still top of it's class,Love it.
"Hey Little Girl" von der australischen Band Icehouse gehört definitiv zu den schönsten Pop & Wave Songs der 80er Jahre. Für den Musikjournalisten Robert Dimery ist es eines der 1001 Lieder, die man hören muss, bevor das Leben vorbei ist. Das zugehörige Video erzählt die Geschichte einer alternden Ballerina mit Drogenproblemen, die in der Vergangenheit lebt und sich wie ein kleines Mädchen aufführt.
"Icehouse" was written by founding member Iva Davies when he lived at 18 Tryon Road, Lindfield in an old, cold flat of a two-storey mansion-across the street was a dishevelled house which had its lights on all night peopled by short-term residents. Davies only learned that it was a half-way house for psychiatric and drug rehab patients after he wrote the song. Russell Mulcahy, an expatriate Australian living in London, directed the music video for "Icehouse" A remix version by Pee Wee Ferris & John Ferris was released on the Icehouse album Meltdown in 2002.
Icehouse , somewhere between Roxy Music and Japan. The best Australian rock band of the 80's Icehouse , somewhere between Roxy Music and Japan. One of the sexiest vocal lines in history... "Hey, little giiiirl." shivers!
Nothing today comes close to this classic 80s music.. I would go back in a heart beat. When you were famous because you were actually talented.... One of the sexiest vocal lines in history... "Hey, little giiiirl." shivers!

You have told the truth brother,much respect to you
BRING BACK THE 80S!!!!!
Heard for the first time tonight. Born 1981, not sure how I have missed this total tune. Love it
Probably missed it because you were a 1 year old when it came out.
The 80s were definitely quite something.
The best Australian rock band of the 80's
Just seen these guys live 😁 well worth the 10 year wait!! Had my partner in tears singing this to her 😊 definitely a memory we'll never ever forget.
Still as good as the first time I heard it in the 80's
Very like Mr Ferry..

Sweeping statement.
70s was amazing.
15 years old. 1985. My first live gig. Snogging in the corner with my first girlfriend. I can still remember the feeling even though it seems like a million years ago.
So many memories.

Or we had to sit and listen to the Top 40 and record the songs on cassette. Lol.
Yes
as ever, only *'discerning'* minds have that capacity
Until WWIII starts
POSITIVELY EXCEPTIONAL even now! I am 67. True artist.
When I met my girl friend in 1982...song playing in all radio stations. Wow so many years ago --- We are together now!!
Another timeless 80's tune, fantastic! 🎼🎶🎵
Krieg immer noch ne Gänsehaut bei dem Lied. Hatte 1982 die Maxi, und mit meiner ersten Freundin dazu " geschmust"..😍😎

Absolute Australian Classic ... thanks to my year 9 english teacher for educating me about Ice House... thanks Julie Eggleton.. xx
Definitely one of my favourite 80s tracks. I can listen to this one over and over again.
Australia maybe a long long way away..but their music from bands like this travel the globe and give us what we need...Thank you...XX
As an Australian it's not far away for me 😉
Klasse Lied von einer tollen Band 😃👍

The best Australian rock band of the 80's
Icehouse , somewhere between Roxy Music and Japan.
Honestly, was there any better time than the 80's ?? . .
Best music and best time ❤❤❤❤
This is so great it makes me sad we'll never see such a great era again.
I agree it makes me so sad as well
live for today not yesterday
music wise 80s was the era and a fun time
Not just for some of the great pop music, but for some of the best metal as well. Ah, to be back in college again...
oh yes the metal Slayer megadeth etc
Hey little girl! Loving the old tunes!!
Sublime 80's perfection
This song still sends shivers down my spine after over 30 years, it's truly beautiful. And who wasn't in love with Iva Davies?!!
What do you think the lyrics mean? Does he really, as I suspected even before I resaw the video (after re-listening my old singles), imply that all she does for herself is futile vanity and after she, inevitably, will have come to her (well deserved) fall, she will have nowhere to run to, as even he won't touch the soiled dove?
Ah, no! Don't answer that, I prefer to remain ambiguous at least with such a beloved song!
Best natural male vocalist out of Australia by a long shot
Micheal Hutchence gives him a run for his money on the best Aussie vocals...X
Super Lied 80s forever
I think the lead singer of The Church, would give him a run for his money also
Such an underrated song then and still now....Certainly in my top 50!
yep i agree with what it says on the top. its one of the best songs in the 80s
Superb Tune. Yes it is Bryan Ferry's secret love child without doubt !!! :-)
So beautiful❤
I love 80' and New Wave❤
It's one of the most creative and artistic periods in musical time, the atmosphere in songs like these was brilliantly executed and the lyrics poignant. Sadly there's very little like this today that sees the light of day in commercial stations...

Greg Brown don't be silly
@@gregbrown3283 exposing yourself there, mate.
The light that burns twice as bright
burns half as long.
God bless you, Paul
Gives me goosebumps when he sings hey little girl
I know this is a 4 year old comment but me too! :D
Me too but maybe not for the same reasons!
I remember this, great tracks from the 80's. please just let me relive this era again and again without the complications of today.
If only we could. I would be there like a shot.
A MASTERPIECE 🎶
Heard for the first time tonight. Born 1981, not sure how I have missed this total tune. Love it
Better late than never.

LA7YKA Norway... and who doesn’t like a-Ha....popular here in New Zealand..
listen to the content in the back groung behind the vocal, triangle, tapping wood, 3 organs, brilliant music...love it
Vincent I think the wood-tapping is the sound of aboriginal music sticks tapping together
As a teen I loved the rhythm of this hit, now I enjoy the melancholy of both the song and the video. Funny how the 80s best songs managed to be both upbeat and soft-spoken.
Absolutely brilliiant song.........loves it much.....loved it from when it first came out to today.......
Icehouse one of the great aussie bands of the 80's,they had many good songs back then and still enjoyed by many to this day..........

Buttifuil super Song
I first yeard eurodance remix in 1997. Years later found it on youtube. Lucky me.
Icehouse , somewhere between Roxy Music and Japan.
I vaguely remember this, and I always thought it was Bryan Ferry. Just rediscovered it from an 80s compilation
Yes i has same thing comparision to Bryan Ferry tremolo voice
...both of which are in the same playlist for me in this era's BEST
The 1st time I heard this I genuinely thought it was Roxy Music or Brian Ferry :)
I thought too about the Roxy Music part - but Japan, yes - very observant comment )
Great Music. Awesome Song . Good Time .

One of the sexiest vocal lines in history... "Hey, little giiiirl." shivers!
There's a massive influence from Bryan Ferry in these Vocals. And the video has a Ferry vibe too.
Great feelgood song ! The song just popped up in my head - almost 25 years after I`ve heard it last time.
Nothing today comes close to this classic 80s music.. I would go back in a heart beat.
