Aussie Fans was there more than 1 video clip for Blue Monday 88 ?

I remember when Blue Monday 88 came out in Australia there was a different video clip of Blue Monday 88 ?

For all you Aussie fans I remember watching "Hey Hey its Saturday" and Molly showed a different video clip to Blue Monday 88. Did anyone see that on Hey Hey its Saturday here in Australia.

It showed only computer generated graphic bars in the video.

Can anyone confirm that a different video clip was made for Blue Monday 88.

Sure you're not just confusing it with the ORIGINAL VIDEO?

it probably is the original video.

our ABC always shows a dubbed version of the TOTPs performance. that works quite well, except for the bits where Hooky bashes his syndrum, which is out of sync.

im not aware of there being a different vid for BM88. the ones i taped of video hits and sounds, are the same as the one on collection.

You admit to watching Hey Hey..

Clive's right - you're describing the '83 clip by the sound of it. CTB

I was pissed they didn't put 'BM95' on 'Item' and now that I just viewed it for the first time, they should have put 'BM83' on there, too.

Typical New Order style.

I'm probably dropping an anvil on my credibility from a great height here, but I can remember the exact episode of Hey Hey in 1988 that Ian's referring to.

'Molly's Melodrama' was the segment in which the droning cowboy hatted one advised Australia that Quincy Jones had remixed NO's seminal work and then he held up a copy of the 12" to prove it. I'm pretty sure he went on to play an excerpt of the regular issue BM88 clip right after.

The reason I can remember is that I was stunned by the revelation. In those ancient times you didn't have the internet to spread such world-rocking news and the latest issue of the NME was eight weeks old. So guys like Molly actually served a purpose.

In the pre-Rage days, the ABC aired a cracking weekly, late-night, alternative music show called Rock Arena. Some of you may remember it. Lots of avant-garde and cutting edge stuff, always hosted by girls who looked like they'd just stepped out of a New Wave salon. Annette Chun-Wah was one of them.

I have a distinct recollection of them playing the original Blue Monday clip in the mid-80s. Possibly one of the only times it was played on Australian TV. Later, they also played live excerpts from the PFD show in Tokyo. Remember being captivated by this blue-lit, late-night apparition beseeching "Threee miles to gooo"...

Me too....I recall seeing that BM clip (with video games & computer grapics, etc) on Oz TV and I think its SBS-TV, on a music program host by Annette Shun-Wah before she went to ABC's Rock Arena.

Hey, you Oz guys rock dinosaurs out there remember one of Rock Arena's host - Suzanne Dowling? I thought she's really hot - I mean INDIE-kinda hot (not CALI-BABE-kinda hot)....she could almost be our Oz version of Gillian Gilbert :D

Yeah, I used to work with Suzanne, she's cool. Married/partered to Kim Gyngell (aka Col'n Carpenter) if I recall. Can't see the Gillian thing myself, mind. CTB

Cool chick for sure, thinking man's crumpet. Rock Arena brings back some good eighties' memories. The Shun-Wah SBS one was The Noise wasn't it?

The name Suzanne Dowling brings back wonderful memories of her giving me my musical education on Rock Arena back in the eighties. In the late nineties my best friend Sonja and I went to see a film at the Kino Cinemas in Collins St, Melbourne, and the woman we bought our tickets off was the above said Suzanne. I was completely stunned, and before i knew it i was blurting out all sorts of crap about how if i hadn't watched her on Rock Arena i would still be listening to Abba or some equally worse shit. Sonja was incredibly embarrassed by my outburst and had to physically drag me away fom my "teacher" while i was saying "thankyou, thankyou so much, just, you know, thankyou" when we got into the cinema Sonja looked at me and said "you stupid fucking idiot, what the fuck do you think you're doing, do you think she gives a fucken shit who you are, she's just trying to do her job and you come along and completely fucking humiliate her in front of her work collegues, do you think she wants to be reminded of her past, good one mate". When we came out of the cinema after the film had finished there was no Suzanne Dowling to be found for me to heap more salutations upon, much to my dissapointment and Sonja's relief. As for her husband Kym, around the same time i saw his wife, i saw him in a Safeway store in Acland St, St Kilda nicking a jar of Nestle coffee, and i swear this is true. At first I wasn't sure if he had really done it, but the guilty, paranoid look on his face after he had picked up the coffee from the shelf and then slipped it underneath his trenchcoat convinced me. I have no idea why he did it, but i know he did it.

rage always seem to repeat rock arena over summer...... get ready for a bunch of videos by old australian bands one would prefer to forget!

hey hey its saturday is not something i though i would have seen talked about it this forum
