Very cool to be able to share this with my kids. My son was kidding me "I have no friends, but I have the internet" and I answered "And I can do elephunk". They of course looked at me blankly. And I was pleased to be able to show them this.

I remember the 80s. I remember Willie Keddel and Chris Barrett. Worked with them once or twice. I also remember a more rootsey version of Elephunk. I saw it on YouTube years ago. Where is it.?....did the lawyers or bots working for the Black Eyed Peas hide it. Please, NZ On Air, just show the whole story...

A wonderful ear-worm that has been in my brain (playing its wash-hose) for 30+ years! Great to see the video again.

This song is timeless. Come on nzonscreen, share this with the rest of the world on youtube!
danopatoni 12 Oct 2013 - 10.45am
I have loved this since it came out. I was bout 15. I think I love it more now than then. I have only now started to appreciate how amazing the vid is. I always loved it ... but now I'm starting to understand how really mindfuckingly clever it is.
But it will always be the tune that counts for me. And ......
Have you got your washose...... ??????????

I have been searching for this song for years! Thanks for posting it, it was one of my fav's when I was a kid in high school. They used to play it on JJJ in oz all the time back-in-the-day!

Brilliant! Remembered this one today when looking at the shopping list that included:
.....
1 can evap milk
1 can creamed corn
Felt compelled to add "I can do elephunk"
Got a totally blank look from my significant other who's a few years younger and obviously missed this classic! Oh well, I've got my washhose.
Rod Mckay 10 Mar 2012 - 09.29pm
Brilliant.
I've been waiting for a number of years for some kind soul somewhere to post this.
What a hoot.
Off the cuff classic.
Wohooo for wash hose
Dave Brown 4 Dec 2011 - 07.23pm
I remembered this just a few minutes ago while talking to my kids. They watched the video and thought it was "random". They are now bouncing around the house stating that the've 'got their wash hose". Really cool to see this again. Ahh Radio With Pictures!
Tony Jemmett 16 Aug 2011 - 08.49pm
Exellent remember this on radio with pictures many years ago
Albert Crane 1 Jun 2011 - 08.28pm
