Just heard this song live. From about a kilometre away. While in my house. At 11pm. Darryl Braithwaite is 73 and still doing concerts in small rural Aussie towns like Wingham. Good on him.

We moved to Australia just after seeing this on Top of the Pops in the UK. I thought ‘wow this place looks cool!’ And it bloody well was!

You cant beat the 70s for the most iconic music ever written. This song 🎵 by Sherbet ie a perfect example-wonderful composition.

[michaelainsley]

lm still blown away every time l hear it and see it 🇦🇺

A breakup song becomes a cricket iconic song ....
Only the Aussies can do that

Always liked The Sherbs/Sherbert. They were big in Fresno, then after 82 their record company stopped promoting them here in the central san valley. At least we were lucky to appreciate them and hear how good these cats from Australia were
Thanks for posting this piece of music history.
Musc like this makes me glad I'm not generation millameal or ztard

I'm always listening to this on Canberra 2CA radio station.

I lived in Canberra 1980-86 as a foreign student. ANU grad.

I miss the 80's in Australia. Best times of my life.

From Malaysia.

Oh yeah, I remember this. I accompanied Sherbet on tour in the 70s in the UK and the fans always seemed to enjoy the song.

I'd forgotten how good this song is; saw the album in a Tweet. I have the single - the intro is bloody awesome, and yes, it's another song with simple lyrics, which are always the most powerful. Fantastic!

[mikechent]

Great song, even many years later still a pleasure, great bass work

[Benya-dj]

Just revisited this song. I like it even more than when I first heard it in the 70s.

[derekkelly]

Magnificent song totally works guitar drums bass great vocals something else to put a song together like that

[daveb]

Still rocks today even after all these years, remember this when it first came out, the 60s, 70s and 80s were the best decades ever for music . Shame there isn't proper music anymore, thank God for YouTube it's the next best thing to a Time Machine. If only !!!!

I absolutely love this song ! brilliant
