@@sandro19691000 Kia ora, sandro. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I sometimes hear problems of NZ, but I truly looooooove NZ and Kiwi. Have awesome holiday season.🤗
This song brings me to tears... I know it is a happy song but it reminds me of my Maori friends when we lived in New Plymouth. This song will be played a my funeral. So everyone can be happy for a few minutes...
I get fleshbacks of Boy. And throwing rocks at my friend’s window. as soon as I got to New Zealand.😂 It was 7 in the morning there so I ran down the street. Exploring the culture of New Zealand..
I used to listen to this song while I lived in the South pacific as a teenager from the US and while in the car with my Mother. I heard it just now again the first time since then. It brought good memories but with tears. RIP my beautiful, dear Mom. I miss you so much.
While it's good to share such songs with close family and friends, that's not a requirement. It's about celebrating life, and we all can do that in our own way. As we get older it's really hard to find community. While I can't offer that from so far away I can say there is certainly common ground. Something we all could use more of all over the world.
Oh my goodness 🥰. Life is a pain in the butt these days. Then all of a sudden someone puts a beautiful iconic memory on Facebook and there you go 😂. Tears of joy and a sense of peace as it was back then💖🥰💖. Thanks Patea Maori Club 💖.
All Kiwis, stand with pride for this song. It's musically explosive, and it lets the other buggers a peek under our curtains. Imagine what they see in 2023! I love being an import! :)
I can’t believe I actually managed to find this song after all these years. The last and only time I ever saw/heard this being performed was on the Royal Variety Performance during the 80’s in the UK when I was a kid and totally fell in love with it. I also did a project about the Māoris in secondary school, fascinating people. Greetings and love from Portugal! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this happy sounding song with us around the world. I have visited the Polynesian Cultural Centwr in Oahu, Hawaii twice and learned a lot. I also was able to do a little bit of the poi balls but nothing fancy. Best wishes from halfway around the world in Nashville, TN. USA
This is such a beautiful video to be able to watch. Just watching the young kids enjoying the song and taking part inthe song they are so cute. It is great to see and hear amazing Maori song and the dance. Maori peoples have a great way of making their music sound so happy. Thank you for this fantastic video.
Literally my favourite song ever. If Vecna tries to capture me just play this song. Being a Kiwi it just brings back great memories from my childhood. 😊
Man this made me tear up a little, thinking of the “ready to roll” nz music charts and us kids would be so sick of a no. 1 being played for months. This and Michael Jackson was forever. But now, I think it’s a beautiful song that captured the spirit of everyday kiwis perfectly in film and music.
I just saw a performance of this last night at Christmas in the Park concert in Auckland with 100,000 people in the crowd. Never been so proud of New Zealand /Aotearoa. I have family in Patea where this was made. What a joy to read the positive comments from around the world.❤
oh man I just realised they're skating AND spinning at once, that's such a smooth combo! I'm just learning to skate, hopefully one day I'll have coordination like that too :D
You would be from Reddit with this type of comment, two different situations, don’t fall into simplifying are complex and nuanced world into a victim-victimiser binary, I know it’s tempting cause it requires no cognitive skills, fixes your moral dilemmas, and gives you moral social status, buts it’s not that simple
I just heard this song for the first time tonight, thanks to a shortened down episode of 'Rage' on the TV channel ABC Me - playing Australian and New Zealand music for ANZAC Day. I found it to be quite catchy.

Kiwi in Aus had this on for the last few days
Anyone who attended a rural NZ school knows this song off by heart lol
Never an original experience
Not even rural, i was in the middle of the city and we did kapa haka and this was definitely a song
I’m a kiwi and this song is nz history

Sometimes I seem to disregard how special New Zealand is, and how lucky I am to be Kiwi.
It hits home when I see the Old Country in the press . But particularly the music.
It's woven into Kiwi history isn't it.

First time I heard this song was in 2008 the year I came to NZ. Saw this late at night in Juice TV lol
This is nz. Something absolutely awesome it's a great song and is relative to the place and time. If I go back as I do I choose this is all of us.
I just watched Taika Waititi’s movie “Boy” and now this song is stuck in my head. This is so good!
I remember being a little kid and cleaning the house while my mum played this on the speaker, such memories
No remake it's brilliance is there for all to see.
Well done ✅ love this song and I'm going to teach my grandchildren who are part Maori and part Australian first nation indigouis
