- In this video we're returning to the music of Skyhooks once again. This lively band has really made their mark with us. We're always excited when we get to hear another one from them. We wonder what they're going to do in this video. Enjoy!

Another fun Skyhooks song. I'd like to suggest something similar, from the same time period and that ''This Time'' by Dragon. The video was shot in my home turf, Potts Point and Kings Cross in Sydney, in the mid 70's. I had my run-ins with Marc Hunter and had chats with Paul Hewson. The video is interesting because their drummer, Neil Storey, had just died of an overdose and the band had to walk around Kings Cross as a four piece. Love to see it!
Kia Ora hello Chris and Cynthia plus the Crew hope everyone is doing well 👍.
Love the ‘Hooks!
I liked Skyhooks at around this time, but this felt like it was written for older people. I heard through the grapevine that a long lost episode of Countdown that features Skyhooks performing ''This Is My City'' has been unearthed after nearly 50 years.
Recorded at The Record Plant, Sausalito, California
Produced Daddy Cool/Mondo Rock man, Ross Wilson.
Why couldn't it have been recorded in Carlton, Melbourne?
It sounds like any other Skyhooks recording.
That city is indeed old Melbourne as we remember it. Very nostalgic. The Hooks & Split Enz were my favorite bands and it was a thrill to see them both live. Great song & reaction. RIP Shirl.
@@MrParksies Split Enz live 💥💥💥
@@heathcornbeef I remember Noel Crombie of Split Enz bagging out Skyhooks on 2JJ radio in Sydney. It was funny because Split Enz got signed to Mushroom records at the behest of Skyhooks. Split Enz might have been passed over if it was for Skyhooks and their clout in the oz music scene at the time.
@@kaitlynbatt_ well then for that I'll commute the death sentence to a lifetime of playing HARDCORE!!!
And no bell bottom pants tassels or sequins
@@heathcornbeef RIGHT ON!!!!
Shirl was 1 of the greatest frontmen ever he went way to soon bloody helicopters took a few legends all around the same time
This was heard a lot around Melbourne in the mid 70's.. The scenes in the clip remind me of my everyday in my grey old nowheresville city of Melbourne. The culture of the city was a bit skewed and the political situation sucked donkeys. Not speaking for everybody, but I never went a week without a punch up and by the end of the decade I was shooting up. Oh well, I never left the city and now I'm a boring old middle class man with adult kids that run coffee shops.. as Paul Kelly said, from little things big things grow.
I was a little kid, but even I could see you had to watch yourself if you were older. Congratulations for surviving it!
Is the singer from the skyhooks, Leo Sayers dad ?🏴✌️
Sayer's much older
@@kaitlynbatt_ I think they look alike, but I've been wrong before 🏴✌️
I'm impressed that you have such a positive impression of Skyhooks. This song is about Melbourne, and all the scenes is of mid 70's Melbourne. A lot of people felt a pinch for various reasons and Skyhooks provided another song about how Melbourne is shit but it's our shit, so love it or lump it. Fifty years later, it's a manicured turd with the best coffee in the world.
Craig Macainsh said, "There's a bit of a comment there... maybe not a heavy social comment... it's just about whatever city you're living in. You might hate it, but it's best to love it."
Obviously it isn't all about Melbourne, but I guess you Melbourne people would assume it is
@@ZombiesOnDope Melbourne was often a point of reference in Craig's songs. It's got nothing to do with assuming everything is about my city.
You're not a teenager, so quit the attitude.
@@BarbaraTowning Attitude? You're whole city is made up of attitude an conceit.
@@ZombiesOnDope The word is 'your'. Good, good! You don't like Melbourne people, which is fine with me. I wouldn't want my fellow Melburnians to be bored to death by your company. Now scram.
@@ZombiesOnDope Too early in the morning, too early in the week to start with ''you Melbourne people''.
I've heard of these guys and now i know why i haven't listened to them. Miles away from my tastes in music more like light years away to be honest. Well played but bored me.
My very favourite Australian band!, is the models, and theses guys don't even come close, but that's only my humble opinion 🏴✌️
Kia ora hello James. Hay Aussie bands for me RADIO BIRDMAN + THE SAINTS...... MIDNIGHT OIL.... THE HARD-ONS i can't remember if they have any other bands from across the ditch well one's they didn't pinch off us SHEEPSHAGGERS
@@heathcornbeef hi heath, I like inxs and the models, I think both these bands were influenced by hawkwind 🏴✌️
@@JamesDickson-vs5of hawkwind fired one of the greatest front men ever.even if he wasn't the front man they fired LORD LEMMY ,,😡🤬🖕
@@JamesDickson-vs5of 🖕 that finger wasn't for you my friend it's for those hippies hawkwind.
@@JamesDickson-vs5of i must have grumbled myself out of the wrong side of the bed this morning 😞
This was okay, but not the best that I've heard of the ones of theirs which you've reacted to.
It's from an album called ''Straight In A Gay Gay World'', which I never saw as their strongest album. All their best were on their first two.
As Barbara said, it's from the third, and admittedly unremarkable album _Straight In A Gay Gay Word._ This Is My City didn't set Australia on fire, but as a Melburnian, it felt like they were pointing at my city and it seemed to work as cool background music.
I can still remember Gillian and I walking into the milk bar to buy ourselves paddle pops, and hearing this song on the radio. I'm sure that moment is captured in my mind because I watched Skyhooks mime the song in the Countdown studio about a week earlier.
When I hear this song, I see images of long-haired people walking around with flared trousers and lo and behold, that is exactly what you see in the video (with the exception of Skyhooks' typical choice of clothing). It accurately represents mid 70's Melbourne and the lyrics are pretty apt.
This definitely isn't for me. doesn't do anything for me at all well maybe 🥱🥱🥱😴😴😴
