@ 1-18 good to see the Old Clovelly Bay... spent a couple of years in the Eastern Suberbs playing Touch Footy for The Locals at Burrows Park & Clovelly Hotel ... Great Times- the years have just flown by.
Your timing is impeccable! This song was stuck in my head on January 1st, 2017 and I looked virtually everywhere online for this music video with no luck. And here we are mere days later, and you uploaded it! Bravo! Thank you so much!
The shark-man dancing the waltz by the surf is the video's director Peter Scott of B# Productions. He was only in front of the camera as no-one in cast and crew could do the waltz, so he was it.
@@crossbar2times2crossbar2ti3 I agree...but many Americans would call it new wave because they don't know the term "rhythm and rock"...so blagamuffin put the term in quotation marks.
'Brain Brain' by Mental As Anything It's midnight, we're fighting It's more than, just chiding No more she wants to feel these selfish hand The flyscreen is broken Moron word are spoken She's leaving and I don't know what to do She's leaving and I don't know what to do What to do.. Brain, brain, brain, brain can you help me You know this day, isn't gonna last for long Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you guide me These arms, these legs, propel them to another day Propel them to another day.. I just can, not stall her As cab lights grow smaller An empty road reflects the crimson sky The night lights are blinking At logic that's sinking Digesting things that are not rational Digesting things that are not rational Rational Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you help me You know, this day, isn't gonna last for long Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you guide me These arms, these legs, propel them to another day Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you help me These arms, these legs, propel them to another day Propel them to another day... *Musica* ...
Thanks for the reply. I thought most MAA songs had lead vocals by the composer. I'm a bit obsessive, as you can see. Confusing, but then again this is Mental As Anything...
One of the greatest country singers to live in manly.
Love the mentals i was very fortunate to see them live many times
Saw them at the Save Luna Park gig in 1980. ❤ from England 🏴.
They are not so Mental on this classy, intelligent song.
RIP Greedy. Love you mate.
Greedy was my favorite Mental. RIP buddy, you were always smiling.
Martin Plaza: a gorgeous voice with the face of an angel. ❤❤
Who the hell would dislike this video. Song and clip are A+++++
The last 16 bars of this song are tighter than anything in music.

Remember seeing this as a little kid...probably one of my first exposures to "new wave". 😊
This song is not New Wave, it's classic Mentals rhythm and rock.

Mental as anything were great musicians. Plaza was a great vocalist so to the late greedy Smith. Great Aussie band.
Love it so u usual but great mental as anything song
love the fact that nearly every video had a dog in it
'Brain Brain' by Mental As Anything
It's midnight, we're fighting
It's more than, just chiding
No more she wants to feel these selfish hand
The flyscreen is broken
Moron word are spoken
She's leaving and I don't know what to do
She's leaving and I don't know what to do
What to do..
Brain, brain, brain, brain can you help me
You know this day, isn't gonna last for long
Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you guide me
These arms, these legs, propel them to another day
Propel them to another day..
I just can, not stall her
As cab lights grow smaller
An empty road reflects the crimson sky
The night lights are blinking
At logic that's sinking
Digesting things that are not rational
Digesting things that are not rational
Rational
Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you help me
You know, this day, isn't gonna last for long
Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you guide me
These arms, these legs, propel them to another day
Brain, brain, brain, brain won't you help me
These arms, these legs, propel them to another day
Propel them to another day...
*Musica*

The lyric you call “just chiding,” is really “just ‘jiving.” The lyric you call “moron word” is really “more wrong words.”
"It's so hot in here. Even the sausages are melting."
why when watching j peterson talk 'bout camille paglia does this magnificent song seem .....
😊
That looks like Martin on lead vocals - didn't Peter write the song? (Sorry, I only just started getting into MAA, don't recognize them very well...)
Yes, it's Martin Plaza on lead vocals. And you're also right, it was written by Peter :)
Thanks for the reply. I thought most MAA songs had lead vocals by the composer. I'm a bit obsessive, as you can see. Confusing, but then again this is Mental As Anything...
YES
The fly screen is broken.
That gal in the vid, was she greedy's wife?
Thats what we need, more fire-eating cabdrivers.
And feasting on victa’s
Victas?
I think the term is "fire-breathing...cab drivers"...well, but then again, these are the Mentals, so...carry on, mate...
