Great live Band, tight, punchy & lots of energy. A pleasure to see them in the early 80's.

Never seen this before, but what a phuckin classic! GOLD!

Use to see these guys in Dunedin while working in Twizel early 70's, boy they bring back memories. Music in the 60's and 70's was the best.

Loved these guys in the 70s ... Melbourne Southside6 playing this song whilst running around dance dressed only in huge nappies!...😂😂... But we were quite well conditions to strange things having aunty Jack just started on TV at the same time,,, back in the day that bands had full entertainment with fantastic sound with merriment... As a side note you used to get 5 glasses of beer for $1 😁

I bought the album in 1977. It's a great Rock album. I was 16 yrs young.

This was the true inspiration for Queens Bohemian Rhapsody

They are actually from Dunedin in New Zealand, but decamped to Melbourne in 1976 and this was their only major hit reaching #18 in Australia and #37 in New Zealand, the song was recorded in Melbourne and hence the lack of Watties baked beans. The group had bizarre stage acts including mini tramps which sprung bearded guitarists at you (From a book written by NZ 70s nerd Ian Chapman).

Hallelujah baked beans!

Does anyone remember Mother Goose?.. Just a shame they didn't take it all so seriously 😞 Great Band!!.. Great Bunch of Muso's!!.. Great Bunch of Friends. I would just love to of known what we would of got from these guys!!. Rush Maybe!! Skyhooks Maybe!!.. Who Knows😞 Awsome Band though, not mentioned much in Australian Rock ( Kiwee Rock ) TISM😊

Back in the day, loved watching them in a Sth Dunedin bar. Amazing musos and nice guys

I saw them in the in 1978 at the Balga Inn Hotel( or near that time) in Perth, I really enjoyed them and will never forget the Baked Bean song!!

the wonderful memories i have of watching these guys on COUNTDOWN IN AUSSIE IN THE 70S little kid n mum n us all singing along, crazy ass band BUT OMG THEY ROCKED !!!

Geez I had totally forgotten about this! It was one of my favourites at the time!

We you to see them at Revesby workers club . Most times they opened for other bands but when they played as the headline they were just brilliant . Man they could play but the whole show was so much fun . The buzzing fly that they chased around the auditorium while the lead singer hit people over the head with a rolled up newspaper trying to catch it . Loved them .

think the sale of baked beans rocketed that year. 😂😂

Married because of beans? Frank Zappa approves.

They don’t make songs like this anymore, onya Mother Goose 👍

One of the guitarists turned up to my 21st in Alice Springs, we had a band there, in the bush and he asked to play. I got his autograph that night. It was 1986. Great long weekend, bon fire, bbq, keg, band, booze in an old fridge on it's back, random people joining us in -4°.

despite the costumes and the messin' around these guys were first class musicians. You had to see them live to appreciate just how good they were.

this is alot clearer than the other one

love it ..what a memory

They were so funny and this one is a scream 😜😂

Love this version

Australian radio duo Tony Martin and Mick Molloy joked that Mother Goose should have been invited to play at the 25th Anniversary Concert for Mushroom Records.

Magnificent!

Saw these guys live at the National Hotel in Brisbane in the early days. They were one of many great bands to venture across the Tasman around that time.

Loved Mother Goose!

Tim Brooke-Taylor of The Goodies would have loved this!😉😉

I saw this band live at the tarmac in 1980. cherished memory.

Filmed at the old Coles supermarket in Reservoir (850 Plenty road).. edit* it seems I was wrong, and THIS version of the MV was not the one filmed all those years back in Reservoir Vic.. Go hunt that one one, eh?

one of my favs

When Frank Zappa visited New Zealand and ended up in the wrong studio...

Secret messages being beamed through their music to initiate sequences in real life.

I remember seeing these guys live in Perth 😀😀

Much greater band than they are given credit for

i saw this great band at cross keys chessmans disco melb never forget there outfits,the bee with the stinger and the duck cannot say what was going on with the stinger???and there baked beans song,wish i was there again so much fun that night

To witness the bearded keyboard player do his haunting rendition of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights will stay with me till the day I die! 😅

Anne Louise would be sure to appreciate the nutritional value of this ditty

I rememeber my brother coming home in the late 70's with the record album.I thought,what the hell is this!!

They were a major influence to many groups Including acdc and queen

Saw them at RMIT - brilliant

I have this song on cassette

looked like these guys put a little humor in their rock to entertain the masses.. they were cool..

I saw them in Coffs Harbour. They refused to play bake beans

I never heard this version before - I like the other one better.

Great !

They make you toot 🎶🎵

Brillant

Mother Goose, live at the Village Green in Melbourne!

Hard to believe Craig Johnston's father was the mayor of Alexandra in the 1970's

Remember this lol

❤️

Bohemian Beans

Like their use of Queens Bohem Raps photography...lol

Thumbs up for the lefty gold top.

off their faces! they must have had the munchies when they wrote this 😎

Classic ... Insane, but a Classic

I’m addicted to baked beans now

I ran into this band alot on the road .. They never really took off as they were always trying too take off the Oils, Madness and Queen and so on. ..They were tight on stage but never really did it big .

So there are two versions of this (and two videos)? I think that I like this version better.

This is so peak

and back to her pad

Listen to THEIR version (re-arrangement of Paint It Black) lyrics by Marianne Faithful when she was Mick's Junkie friend, Then chck out he movie 'Girl on a Motorcycle' (french) then you will know WHY she was Mick Jagger's girlfriend & think about the lyrics to ALL the early Stones songs> Mick NEVER had 19xnervous breakdowns nor did he use 'Mother's little helper" & he was NOT so depressed that he wanted everything 'Painted Black'

Mick Fleetwood was the drummer!!! LOL :)

who is the drummer and why does he do the count in Icelandic?

lol

As an Australian I don’t except these as anything but New Zealanders Like Crowe, Sam Neil.. no they are not Australian

xD

" he married the " baked beans chick " and retired from " mother goose " to please his " wife and mother in law " " to get a responsible job " sew they lived " happily ever baked beans after " as " a baked bean family !" ) the end laugh 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣

as a kid at the time, didn't like this song. now i've grown more immature and love it

baked beans in a wok? how rude!

Hmm the memories, but they were very good musicians but they were just having fun..paint it black was not bad, their version.

Don't show this to Rhett

Literally did everything Fat Daddy did, and for that matter The Mothers of Invention. Did they copy? Who was brave enough in those days?

What the fuck

Excruciating

Tell ya why i never liked this band - 'cos i got no sense of humour, that's why. As music it ain't so good, but as a humorous video, it's actually pretty darn funny! NZ band aye, not Aussie.

Cringe🙄

I have this song on cassette
