The uplifting promotional clip is as famous as the song, which in 2010 re-entered the charts courtesy of the film Boy. Accompanied by Jo the breakdancing guide for a tour of Patea and surrounds, the Patea Maori Club is captured "just doing their thing" by director Paul Carvell. Bopping and twirling like piwakawaka: at the local marae, in Manners Mall, and on Patea’s main street where milk tankers, sheep trucks and the impresario himself — Dalvanius doing a pūkana out a car window — pass by in front of the Aotea canoe remembrance arch. Legend.
