Ah ha.

I wonder if radio will play this song?

Bad choice- as great as the song is- the tempo changes make for an awkward listen. Still at least it's not braindead.

I agree.. plus you get a bit of a break before you go mental in the chorus tongue.gif kind of like in "He's A Rocker"

Great song won't be played much though. Radio has really hit new lows in the last few years here in Melbourne and "MerryGoRound" would be too "loud" for them to play and not radio friendly enough, Triple J would give it a spin though. Even the once supposed rock station Triple M play mainly play classic rock now with their loudest bands being shitty 80's hair metal.

Nice song , a rock second single and I wait for a nice video
HOHA
I think that's a good choice, it is a very catchy song and I LOVE it .

OH HAPPY DAYS!!!!!! YES!!

Now if they could release this in the UK too it would be brilliant

Oh and get a new director for the video!
fuuuran
Great choice! Can't wait to see the video for it. smile.gif

It should be the first international single if they plan on releasing anything out of Australia.
she's in the melting pot
:yahoo:That's great....i love that song it had me instantly hooked it's so catchy ! I wonder if Hey will be put out as a single.

Untutored-Youth
That is my favourite song out of all them! Yey. laugh.gif

That song is pure awesomenss, except I don't like the bass at the beginning.

Maybe when the tempo picks up, the merrygoround will hit high speeds and fling off the band members, one by one, "Get Free" style!

Great song choice, but like numerous people have said, the tempo changes might make it a bit awkward to listen to on the radio.

don't listen to the radio

sorry i couldn't help it
MisplacedKeys
I don't see why the tempo change would be 'awkward' to listen to - if anything, it grabs your attention and makes sure it's not overlooked like other songs on the radio.

The Vines are banned from Triple M anyway ...

I think it's a good choice! I think that the tempo changes are interesting and might help catch the attention of the listener.

I think the video should be a merry go round, but when it speeds up, it actually goes that speed and they have to try and stay on while performing the song. Would be hilarious. pinch.gif
HyperMusic
i agree that the tempo is too quick. Manger I think could be a better choice.

I don't get what everyone's sayin about the tempo changes, as long as it sounds good I don't see the problem. huh.gif Anyway, I like this one better than He's A Rocker, I wonder what the video will look like (if there is one). happy.gif

Really? So after 'ooh, you ruined our reputation, we'll never ever play a song of yours as long one of us is still alive' they just changed their minds? biggrin.gif Haha.

I know, isn't it funny?! biggrin.gif ...I think they started playing them again about the time of VV

Obviously the ultimate decider will be when the song is played on the radio, how people react and if it continues to get air.

I believe it will do pretty well though as I remember hearing Merry Go Round and digging it straight away along with Manger. Who knows maybe Manger will be the third single tongue.gif

biggrin.gif no they just all died rolleyes.gif

Don't know if its my top choice for the single, but its still a good song smile.gif
For the video, maybe they could just have them running a muck in Luna Park biggrin.gif
mezziie
WHOOOO! i love that song!!! hope the video's good. =D
marilyn_monroe
Yeah, I hope they do something nice and different for this video!
littlemissjoey
Maybe not as "different" as HaR with the dogs and girls in bikinis... wink.gif
tymaster1969
i think the idea about the speeding up the merry go round is good. i thought the same thing the other day but when it sped up the room would go dark and there would be strob light too. biggrin.gif and it would be perfect because you would be able to see the merrygoround slow down again and while that was happening the strob would slow down to and along with the music of course. but its probably going to be nothing at all with a merry go round. ahaha
Sexhair
Anything will be better than the He's A Rocker video. Unless they decide to put more girls dancing. blink.gif
Sun Child
Maybe they'll do something with a ferris wheel just to spite us
clever_napkins
Aw, what's wrong with girls dancing?

They could have danced better, I suppose.

EVERYTHING. tongue.gif




more craig and guitars etc, less dancing girls and people making out.
clever_napkins
Craig and guitars is boring. To the general public, anyway.

thats true.

but they need something that will stand out.....to me dancing girls is just something in every other video clip. i will agree that they have done it well though. personally i would like something different and weird but i am a little weird sooooo. blink.gif
different opinions for everyone. wink.gif
Sexhair
Craig dancing in those little outfits would be okay with me. smile.gif
clever_napkins
^ I wouldn't oppose it happy.gif

I think that was kind of the point for this video, though.
I wish it had been executed better (syncronicity, better choreography, better costumes, kissing people actually looking like they enjoy the kissing more than the cameras, ect), but what can you do? At least it's getting a fair bit of airtime.

I would love something that stands out for this single.
