History Never Repeats

Split Enz , Music Video – 1981

from the album Waiata (1981)

Add to watch list

This is a classic music video for a classic song (from the Waiata album) that is very much of its time. It features Noel Crombie's art school-infused clothes, make-up and surreal sets, giant beach balls, a hula hoop, and a young and endearingly-geeky Neil Finn out front. The video was one of the first (the 12th!) to be broadcast on music channel MTV after it launched in the United States in August 1981.
