Members of Spiderbait described seeing the video for the first time as "a beautiful, classic pop song".[27] Some viewers insisted the song was "written about a dog".[23] This was closely followed by "I Want You Back", which featured animated plastic model dinosaurs.

Following the US tour the Hoodoo Gurus went into the studio and recorded their second album, Mars Needs Guitars! (1985). The title was a twist on a Sci Fi B movie titled Mars Needs Women. The album's first single, "Bittersweet", had a more subdued regular-looking video.

The sacking of Baker upset some die-hard fans and critics who felt that the group was losing touch with its "indie" roots, and Faulkner is said to have written the single "Poison Pen" (September, 1986) in response to some of the critical articles in the music press written about Baker's departure. Another view was that it was about the replacement of their first manager, Stuart Coupe (journalist, writer, tour promoter), but according to songwriter Faulkner it was about a relationship that had turned bitter.[23] Baker had been involved with The Beasts of Bourbon as a side project from 1983[29] and now concentrated on their 1984 album The Axeman's Jazz, subsequently he founded James Baker Experience and The Dubrovniks (latter two included Radalj), Novakill and eventually The Painkillers.[30] The Beasts of Bourbon were an Australian rocknroll band formed in 1983 and disbanding indefinately in 1997. ...

Persian Rugs

In September 2001, the four ex-Gurus (Faulkner, Grossman, Kingsmill & Shepherd) performed as The Moops and were later called Persian Rugs.[52][53] At Homebake 2001, (December 8) both Hoodoo Gurus and Persian Rugs performed separate sets.[53][54] Persian Rugs recorded a five-track EP Mr. Tripper in June 2002, Grossman then left, and Shepherd recommended bassist Kendall James as his replacement[55] (ex Thurston Howlers, Crusaders).[56] With James, the Persian Rugs recorded their debut album Turkish Delight, released in August, 2003.[57] Homebake is an annual Australian rock festival, featuring an all-Australian lineup (with the occasional artist from New Zealand). ...


Persian Rugs provided the track "Be My Guru" for the Hoodoo Gurus' tribute album Stoneage Cameos (2005)[58] (see Stoneage Romeos) and by that time Hoodoo Gurus, with Grossman on bass, had already reformed. Stoneage Romeos was the Hoodoo Gurus first album and saw them receive record sales to complement their already strong reputation for live performances. ...

The Persian Rugs was me doing a complete ‘60s revival sort of thing. Also, in a funny way, it was my own sort of version of retaliating at all the critics who always harped on the Gurus’ ‘60s influences: ‘You want to hear what I do when I do ‘60s? Here it is!’ But I also had a whole lot of songs after the Gurus broke up, and though I rehearsed them with different musicians, they just couldn’t seem to get the flavor of what I was trying to do. It became obvious to me that there was only one band that could play these songs the way I wanted to hear them. So Mach Schau, far from us coming back and being ‘middle aged’ and writing for an older fan base, we just wanted to make a hard rocking record that out-did anything we’d ever done. We really blew a gasket on that one—it’s our Presence, like Led Zeppelin.

About The Hoodoo Gurus (885 words)
While Gurus fans Australia-wide patiently awaited their next album with baited breath, the Hoodoo Gurus revealed in 1997 that they felt the time had come for the sun to set on the Hoodoo Gurus juggernaut.
Graciously, the Gurus promised one last grand tour, "Spit The Dummy" as it was called, to celebrate their legacy and the fans that had supported them whole-heartedly throughout the years.
To their delight, the Hoodoo Gurus decided to reform in late 2003 / early 2004 after 3/4 of the crew reunited under the moniker "the Persian Rugs" with a slightly different sound earlier in 2003, and subsequently decided to take another kick at the can as the Hoodoo Gurus.
