Counting the Beat

The Swingers

03:08 minutes | 27.40MB

Clever cinematography and a wacky sense of humor place this clip years ahead of it's time. The opening bars - the pendulum guitar, fingers on the fretboard - so simple, yet arguably some of the most iconic and enduring images from NZ music video history.

"The crowd at the end were on a "surprise" drunken evening,
and one of the stops for their bus was a surprise visit to a video shoot. They had about 15 mins to dance their butts off, and then out they went ...t'was hilarious."
Phil Judd, April 09
