I concur, and if you concentrate hard enough, you might just hear ole Pepper Brooks [played by Jason Bateman in the classic "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" (2004)] sharing his iconic input, "It's gotta be the hair Cotton. It's beautiful. Feathered and Lethal!" 🤣😂
I've taught my daughter the basics of "good" 80s and "bad" 80s, but soon I'll have to introduce her to the handful of songs, like this one, that transcended 80s cheese to become something truly f***ing glorious. I mean it's remarkable. These guys could barely keep a straight face when they made this video, yet... this song is pure magic. You cannot make a better pop song than this. I defy you to do it. You cannot.
It's like the perfect white bread, kraft single grilled cheese you make when home sick from school. It's not haute cuisine, but sometimes its just perfect and transcends.
I remember when this song was massive back in 1987- you couldn't escape it. It was everywhere! Such an Aussie classic. What a beautiful restoration of the video too. Everything looks gorgeous!
Watched ice house last night at Rooty Hill. I don't know how on earth these guys didn't become a global sensation. They still sounds as good as did back in the 80s
Somewhere in an alternate universe...this was a NO 1 single. Classic track from a most excellent CD. Man of Colours was one of the most played tapes on my personal stereo growing up.
That alt. Universe was Australia - it smashed its way up to #1. Electric Blue also hovered in the top 10 and top 40 for some time. It was a big year for music too, with 15 different number 1 singles on the Aussie charts, of which 5 were Aussie or Kiwi bands.
FM radio memories. I worked at Apache Radio KNNB 88.1. EASTERN ARIZONA . First job, best job. This tune made it on the turntables. And through the airwaves at the speed of light.
Fantastic clear HD and fantastic song.... Thanks Iva and Icehouse for being a part of my life in the 80's. I saw you guys at Expo 88 in Brisbane - you played on the River Stage....
Great job guys for releasing this hd version. I still remember buying this on cassette back in 1987. Such a great 80's sound with this song. "Crazy" is another great song as well. My taste in great music brought me here.
I have moved away from Australia to Vietnam but DAMN IT this is the song that makes me proud to be Australia. I dont care if Australia is rich financially i just want us to be cultural beautiful like how i remember in the nineties. 80s was so culturally rich too and inspired the 90s I love Australia from that time period.
@@arsenelupiniii8040 look towards asia, especially south east asia. thirty years time south east asia is the new china but everyone will love south east asia unlike china i dont know hahaha i already have plans to buy a house in Vietnam and a house in Japan
When I revisit these moments...like, I was a child in the 70/80's... I am really struck by the messaging, and the motivation towards these songs & videos. These times, and the romanticism ..... it's curious. We collectively allowed things to get the way it is now....we can Not, and stop with the nostalgia ✌️ just saying.
So true, what have we allowed the world to become is sad, things are not oging in the right direction and we are being lead the the slaughter and these songs are from a time when things certainly werent perfect but people were happy , had hope, and looked towards the future with happiness and positive ideas, now, no, the media tries to tell us these are great times but most of us see through the charade. I would move out of big cities while you still can.
Probably my all time favorite 80's jam. I'm a sucker for a saxophone & I love John Oates (of Hall & Oates) story of how he & Iva wrote it. Just a fantastic song that I still listen to regularly.♥ #TakeMeBackToThe80s 🎶🤘🎸🎷🎶
Funny thing about this song is it's being included along with Crazy in the songs played over the intercom in supermarkets here in the USA, especially Electric Blue. If it comes on while I am doing my shopping, I sing along out loud. I can't match Iva's voice but I do pretty good.
Esta canción te da una emoción de felicidad y libertad increíble tema, la chica es hermosísima, el saxofón es de otro mundo y el cantante tan apuesto que envidio su peinado, Electric Blue es un tema para nunca olvidar.
I can't believe how..clear this video is!! This brings back so many people. I thought ONE of the douo of Hall and Oates wrote this jem of a master piece. I love ❤ the 80s!! 😎 👍👍 💕 🎤 🎶 🎶
It's a fantastic song, love the lead singer and his mega mallet.L, o, l, but I also absolutely love the look.Feel attitude and talent of the band awesome cute guys too.They were
OMG, that looks fantastic! I never realized how much detail I was missing watching the old version. This is beautiful, Sydney looks fantastic. The biggest surprise I got was seeing just how really gorgeous that actress is, and immediately recognizing her. That's Paris Jefferson! She starred in one of my favorite episodes of the Jeremy Brett "Sherlock Holmes" series. It was "The Adventure of the Eligible Bachelor". Wow.
Actually this is what it would have looked like at that time. The video quality of the 80's is of that era but does not define it. The brush up looks great, one of the most 80's videos of the 80's all hail the premiership of Australia's best export.
That mullet should have made it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame all on its own! 😂

At least the Australian Rock n' Roll HoF. 🇦🇺
It’s rumored that that mullet inspired Billy Ray Cyrus to grow his Uber-mullet…
Words of COMPLETE Truth.....spot on
That's not a mullet, it's a mane.
Back in the days when music videos were relatable to everyone. Golden era of music.
Yup, better years for sure, and we took it for granted.
That's 100% true. Music and music videos were awesome in the 1980's.
Saxophones, keytars, big hair and classy ladies...
It doesn't get much better than that, folks.
❤
This song came out in 87 when I was 20 and this is the first time I’ve ever saw this video. Great song! Needed more sax!
So happy to see this in great quality! Love how the sax player wanders around the video looking bored until his part comes up!
Agreed.
I think he was in his mind translating the beauty of the scenery into how he might best angle the sax during his solo.
The Drummer looks like he got his happy pill that day!
Listen to that snare drum!@@arsenelupiniii8040
The real question is where's the drummer? Totally got the shaft.
WOW looks much better than it did when i first saw it 37 years a go!
Your still my number one local group, Keep the 80's alive guys.
This song and video were awesome in the late 1980's and still awesome today, in 2024! One of my absolute favorites 😊
Presente ochentero 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Killers have a great version of this song.
Take me back to the 80's....and I'd like to stay there forever😮💨😮💨😮💨
Vamos a los 80 ❤
I can relate to that... Words can't describe how magical the 80s were...❤
Broo u guys probably had it GOOD😭😭😭
😢😢😢😢
On I would love to go back to the 80's and stay there
80s such a great time for AMAZING music... Miss the days
And amazing times.....take me back please😮💨😮💨😮💨

Strange here in Europe I've never heard this before. I know Icehouse for their other hit Crazy but this one must not have broken through here.
Watched ice house last night at Rooty Hill. I don't know how on earth these guys didn't become a global sensation. They still sounds as good as did back in the 80s
The sax on the sunset was always a great shot by the director.
Loved that shot!!!👍👍👍👍
This song and countless others from the 80’s takes me back to such a great time in life…so many memories. ❤

The era of original creativity. Classics from the first note.
yes yes, exactly what you said, the most memorable tunes, the best talented musicians, love the 80s
My God that mullet is epic. Almost overpowers the amazing song
Yeah, finally a HD transfer of the master - looks and sounds fantastic for this iconic Aussie masterpiece !! Thanks Iva !
Great video quality update. Great song indeed.
Came for the music, stayed for the mullets.
And a keytar too as a bonus.
A mullet was a standard helmet back then.
G'day, it's was my young fresh face and your music that helped me land my wife, your music is wonderful 👍 and so is she, cheers mates, Neil 🤠.
Saw them live many times in the 80s. Great band
A sax solo is always a hallmark of a classic!
@@derek6631 oh YOU KNOW IT!!! And I LOVE the Band Members....SO GREAT
A Sax Solo in Silhouette you mean!
This song is so perfect 🥰
Omg the 80s and early 90s
Music and videos mattered
100% true 😊
I concur, what a time to be alive it was then. The 80s were the best, and the 90s were still pretty great too.
FM radio memories. I worked at Apache Radio KNNB 88.1. EASTERN ARIZONA . First job, best job. This tune made it on the turntables. And through the airwaves at the speed of light.
Que Banda sensacional! Eu era criança nos anos 80 e ficava encantado quando tocava "No Promises" na rádio FM
😎👍
Just when you thought it couldn't get better, they found the video masters & finally put them up in HD!
About time we have a quality upload of this '80s pop gem.
So glad this has been released. I have always loved this tune! Thanks
I knew this song existed. It was all over MTV for about a month in the spring of 1988 before dropping off the face of the earth.
I remember this playing on the radio constantly as a kid. Brings back good memories. ❤
i never seen it in such great quality, nice!! long live iva
Thanks for uploading this amazing song in such superb Quality!
You get the whole 1980's bingo card with this song/video, and that's a good thing. Mullets, keytar, sax solo, pretty lady, ...
I didn't think keytars were real until I saw this video.
Plus electric drums
The girl is in her 60s now. Incredible.
Still a great song! That footage looks amazing... like it was shot yesterday.
What a sax solo. Pure 80’s gold.
I just can't seem to get enough of your music, Iva 😊!!!! Thanks for the beautiful music!!!!
Always loved the sunset sax shot! Great to see it in HD
I love that shot!!!👍👍👍
the eye contact, masters of rizz
Fantastic clear HD and fantastic song....
Thanks Iva and Icehouse for being a part of my life in the 80's. I saw you guys at Expo 88 in Brisbane - you played on the River Stage....
Take me back to the 80's!
One of my favorites from the 80's!❤❤
Great job guys for releasing this hd version. I still remember buying this on cassette back in 1987. Such a great 80's sound with this song. "Crazy" is another great song as well. My taste in great music brought me here.
Excelente, saludos desde Lima Perú
The soft curl plumage..magnificent!
Dang...this song is just perfect.
More Sax! Sax player walking around was funny! Cool visual of him playing the sax in the bitter cold with the foggy air coming out of it
This is one of my all-time favorite songs!! 💙
#IceHouse
#ElectricBlue
Great 80s band with hit after hit.
Fantastici 💪💪💪💪
That hair omg it's divine I love it! What a great song and band this is.
This is perfection! I love Icehouse! Keep going on!!! ❤
I have moved away from Australia to Vietnam but DAMN IT this is the song that makes me proud to be Australia.
I dont care if Australia is rich financially i just want us to be cultural beautiful like how i remember in the nineties. 80s was so culturally rich too and inspired the 90s
I love Australia from that time period.
The World needs a revival of innocence and morality. I have no idea how we are gonna do it.

Time Machine to the 1980’s departing in T-minus 10…9…8… Who’s boarding!? 😊❤
An absolutely underrated band! Measure for measure, what a great album!
A VER TODOS LOS DE MEXICO Y/O CIUDAD DE MEXICO QUE SE RECUERDEN DE ESTA HERMOSA SOFT ROCK MUSIC!! 1987 SI LOS 80S LO MAXIMO!!!
We finally get those glorious mullets in equally glorious HD!
The mullets coming back boyos.
Una de mis favoritas de icehouse 😎✌️
Years ago, my son asked me what a mullet was and I showed him this video. legen ... dary!!!!!!
This song always made me laugh when it came out. I was a teenager and I always associated with the Playboy Channel show "Electric Blue". 🤣
That was The Time❤️🔥
Were we just more Naive? or was it something else?
@@arsenelupiniii8040 I think that more naive is a bullseye. At least in my life. Cheers!
QUE BUEN CLÁSICO QUIEN DE ACA EN ESPAÑOL SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷🙋
This on Fox FM in my 1978 Neptune Blue Ford XC Fairmont GXL 5.8 litre.
Crikey, I totally forgot the bands name but the song remember clearly.. he voice.. and love the song.. still great today.. gosh!!! Ace!
百聽不厭的好歌👍👍👍
Great song. Takeae back to youth.
Outstanding song and video, especially with the HD treatment. Gotta love the John Oates touches on this song.
Just discovered this song and love it!
Aah, Sydney Australia in the 80's. I was just leaving the nest and tentatively venturing out somewhere in that backdrop.
Probably my all time favorite 80's jam. I'm a sucker for a saxophone & I love John Oates (of Hall & Oates) story of how he & Iva wrote it. Just a fantastic song that I still listen to regularly.♥ #TakeMeBackToThe80s 🎶🤘🎸🎷🎶
The image quality is good!! I'm excited!
Nice song ❤❤
Awesome 😎 song. Good job, you guys.

Paris Jefferson - oh to be back in the 80'szzzz
I heard of this song way back early 90s but never knew the title and the singer. I only found out as I was browsing thru Instagram
Wow! It looks like it was made yesterday. 😊
Hey 1987, it's been a long long time here, things aren't going so great in 2024...
Otra obra maestra de los 80 ese riff de guitarra de base se mete dentro y hace que la canción salga sola para cantarla
The mullet and this song is beautiful!! 😂😆
Esta canción te da una emoción de felicidad y libertad increíble tema, la chica es hermosísima, el saxofón es de otro mundo y el cantante tan apuesto que envidio su peinado, Electric Blue es un tema para nunca olvidar.
Спасибо)) за отличную работу по качеству. Thanks!
I can't believe how..clear this video is!! This brings back so many people. I thought ONE of the douo of Hall and Oates wrote this jem of a master piece. I love ❤ the 80s!! 😎 👍👍 💕
🎤 🎶 🎶
Petition to bring back the sax solo.
It's a fantastic song, love the lead singer and his mega mallet.L, o, l, but I also absolutely love the look.Feel attitude and talent of the band awesome cute guys too.They were
That is the MASTER mullet.....
Absolutely gorgeous film clip!!
That’s a championship mullet right there
Que grupo sensacional , amo de paixão ❤.
Fantastic & Bravo…
Man he has a power magnetic voice, a real star quality right ???
This is incredible quality for that era. 🤔
OMG, that looks fantastic! I never realized how much detail I was missing watching the old version. This is beautiful, Sydney looks fantastic.

She starred in one of my favorite episodes of the Jeremy Brett "Sherlock Holmes" series. It was "The Adventure of the Eligible Bachelor". Wow.
She's in the Crazy video as well.
Electric Blue is always a perfect compliment to Crazy. Always liked the story how it was written.

Aussie bands have good rhythm sections. Nice pumping bass & crunchy guitar.
AC/DC, Angels, Rose Tattoo. Different genres but great rhythm sections.
And INXS.
Certainement un des meilleurs groupes il créé de la magie musicale et nous transporte vers la joie des années 80 intemporelles. Du pur bonheur.
Wow 😮. So Awesome and so excellently updated ❤🎉❤
one who plays sax is Chip Fosse??? Someone confirm. Greetings from Lima Peru
That's Simon Lloyd!
He does look like him.
Ohh, it's true, thank you very much for the clarification, I didn't remember but this song is one of my favorites, greetings from Lima Peru
