Live It Up by Mental as Anything

This excerpt from Mental as Anything's 'Live It Up' is a time portal into '80s music videos with its neon-lit backdrop and bright, poppy colours. It is joyful and totally of its time, with unmistakeable mid-'80s polish in the band members' style and a quirky, upbeat charm that matches an infectious and catchy track. 'Live It Up' is also an example of Australian music breaking through internationally. Originally released in Australia in May 1985, the single gained massive traction overseas after being featured in a party scene in the film Crocodile Dundee (1986), which catapulted all things Aussie into the global spotlight. Both the song and this music video are a perfect snapshot of mid-'80s pop.
