@starwinksbackfromtheskypit6790

God I loved this band, when I was a kid I had the hugest crush on this girl across the street who was like 3 years older than me and her room was full of INXS posters. I use to sing this song to her and she would giggle and say “you’re cute”, but I wasn’t trying to be cute, I was trying so hard to be romantic. Years later we reconnected and today she’s my wife and we danced to this song at our wedding and I play this song for our two baby girls. Music bounds us all together, makes us cry, makes us love, rock... don’t change. ❤️

I was lucky enough to meet Michael in an elevator in Chicago with my family. He was doing his laundry in our hotel. He recognised us as being fellow Aussies. He was a true gentleman, kind, interesting to talk to and made the time to stop and chat. I have never forgotten the experience and I feel privileged to have met him whilst he was on tour😀

@sebastiandelamare2326

Yes he was a gentleman, i met him when he was dating Kylie at the Hydro Majestic in Meadlow Bath in the Blue Mountains in late 80's they were both so nice gave me the autograph for my girlfriend at the time. She still has that autograph to this day signed both Kylie and Michael. I know this cause i still live in the mountains and ex brothers kids dance with mine and his wife told my wife

@manybugs

Might have been the 3 glasses of red wine, but as I was watching this just now, I broke down in tears. I had to get up and leave the room because I was so overwhelmed-blubbering like a little baby. This song reminds me of the early 80s when I was in jr high. My whole life was ahead of me and this song was my anthem back then. I'm now 49, barely survived a heart attack recently, and can't believe how fast the time has gone by.

@thee4thdoctor

@Manybugs - Peace, and Love to You My Friend. I too get emotional when I see these videos...in some ways it feels like only yesterday, and yet in other ways it feels as if it were a million years ago. It's a strange thing, that we're finding ourselves further away from those times, and from who we were, as every day goes by...it can be sad, but you're not alone in your feelings. Many of us feel as you do, and understand. I wish you all the best.

Well...if you deduct global nuclear warfare...it wasn't bad. This was part of the 81-83 New Wave run. Totally different from what came before or after. Corporate new wave via MTV took over in 84. INXS still rolled out some good tunes in the later 80's...as did other bands. And we had AIDS!

@danwohlslagel1277

In hindsight it felt special- the early 80's was a unique window of time. As a young boy, the world was exploding and things were changing very quickly. We went from an analog world to a brave new beautiful time very quickly, and it was all "for us"...the music really belonged to kids for a short time- it felt very independent and it was unlike anything that had happened previously....New wave, synth pop, Ska, early hiphop on MTV as well as Star Wars, Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark, BMX, skateboarding, and arcade video games. Fun times- much more carefree.

@jscES44AC

This is one of those songs that you never get tired of listening to no matter how many times you play it! Huge INXS fan, definitely one of my all time favorites ❤ Shabooh Shoobah is filled with so many great songs 🎶

@caliblue2

It’s 2023 and this is literally my favorite song. Timeless across all realities.💜😘

@darylkik6204

I grew up working and running Musiclands in the Malls(80s) and loved music. This song came on a year ago in the background and I thought it was new, yet I knew every word by heart. I swear I had never heard it before now. Yes, I knew several albums like "kik" (My last name so its missing a letter from the album, "kick")

@drackkor725

Where were you all my life I have felt the same :) But as someone living in the USA maybe I'm a rarity.

@MikeGoodmanRealtor

This has got the be one of the best songs from the 1980s era. What magical times it must have been. They don’t make music like this today.

@ichhasseamerika

Yes, magical it was. Of course, for us back then magical was just normal, so we (or I know I) didnt appreciate it as much as I should have. If I had known how much things would suck now, I would have savoured it more. 😞

Yep I notice those things too how Michael was getting off truck and kicking his feet to the beat of the drums just a perfect 2 second couple of moves that went perfectly to the drums before he started singing...ya I watch every move on each member ..it's what makes watching a video to a great song even more special

@rockinrunner67

To me, this was always INXS’s ‘Anthem’ of a song and one of their best…if not their best. It really lit the fuse. A great time in music history and the song still holds up today. Perfection. Very anthemic. Very INXS.

This was always the last song played at their gigs.........I was so damned blessed to grow up on Sydney's Northern Beaches, 5-10 min from where they were living at Belrose/Davidson - seeing these lads perform at the Dee Why Hotel (The Venue), Sydney Entcent, Manly Beach................so many times. Didn't realise it at the time, Sydney's live music scene was beyond all in the 80's. Very special.

Hell, these boys even played at my high school in 1981!!!!

@bluenosepe

“First international single”. Imagine being anywhere but Australia and being hit with this for the first time. I’d be gagging for more.

40 years old. Timeless. I didn’t know many people in the 80’s who were still blown away by and listening to tunes from the 1940’s.

@heelscommando

Thank you for being a part of the soundtrack of my life INXS.   <3

@jazzbo89

This song broke the band into the big time yet a few decades later, it never gets mentioned as far as their big hits. Love this tune. It’s still fresh, upbeat, and there’s an innocence about it.

@Music-tk5oq

This was their followup tune 2 their debut hit "The One Thing"

@Music-tk5oq

Both these songs were underrated. Their big hits came in the late 80's.

@Music-tk5oq

Was the same with U2.

@cyazp5740

It is strange that INXS and especially Hutchence tried to erase them from the collective memory through the tabloid press that many times had from where thanks to Hutchenche's bad personal decisions as a result of a serious brain injury and the neglect of all because it was visible he needed help and was crying out for it. Today the last rock frontman is remembered and missed, it will be many years before he sees another artist like him whose presence filled the stage without much adornment.

@chicken2jail

I remember buying Shabooh Shoobah because it had "The One Thing" on it. I really liked this song, but had no idea that INXS did it. So when I was driving around with the cassette playing and "Don't Change" came on, it was like I unlocked a level. Good times.

@Pagaugezero

This song and video never gets old. Michael's moves are mesmerizing.

@stevephlyer

INXS' best song ever, and their first international hit. 1982 seems so far ago, yet listening to this masterpiece, transports one back-in-time to that year when I was 10 years old. 1980-1990, the best decade to grow up. Michael Hutchence, you are dearly missed.

@revacohen

I do understand what you mean. However, I heard that even before they became international rock stars, they were into wild living. Michael Hutchence always seemed to have girlfriends, and Tim Farriss wasn't all that innocent, either.

Funny, we went to see Adam Ant, but gained another great group to follow, via serendipity.
