Split Enz - Nobody Takes Me Seriously (Karaoke)
Worms Unlimited Productions
This song was out in the early 80's. It was released in 1980 but it didn't get to me until maybe 82-83. I always felt it was like my theme but that was when I wanted to be taken seriously. I eventually got wrapped up in NEVER being taken seriously and liking it.
I think I saw Split Enz first on maybe Nickelodeon. I distinctly remember in the solo Tim Finn going "Aw Shucks" and start doing pushups on stage. I found this hilarious but... it may have been a pre-coma "False Memory". My brother and his iron clad memory and brain is always corrected me and my "false memories". I often remember stuff different. Not wrong. Just different. I can't seem to find that clip on youtube so it may have been a false memory. Please correct me any Split Enz fans out there. They're great and I apologize for my ignorance. Anyway, Nickelodeon often had cool concerts on there. Sometimes they had some very cool concerts on there. I first got cable then and our community would not get MTV. No biggie. USA network had great stuff on there anyway.
Split Enz kind of morphed into Crowded House and had the awesome hit Don't Dream Its Over. They had many other hits too but that is the one that is seared into my conscious. I really need to do that song on banjo. They had some great songs. Both Split Enz and Crowded House. Give me ideas people. I was very surprised this song wasn't karaoke-ized yet.
