Patea Maori Club

There are two free-to-air music channels in New Zealand - and only four other channels plus Maori TV. On Friday nights, C4 does a Top Ten Music Video programme on a particular theme which often has us glued to the sofa. Tonight the theme was "It was groundbreaking" and the session featured Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, the most expensive video ever at that time, and my personal favourite, OK Go on their treadmills doing Here It Goes Again.

But one of the most interesting videos of tonight's top ten was the 1980s one-hit wonder Poi E by the Patea Maori Club which featured break-dancing, body-popping, robot dancing, roller skating and traditional Maori poi dancing! Check it out below:



Here's the chorus if you fancy singing along:

Poi E whaka-tata mai
Poi E kaua he rerekç
Poi E kia piri mai ki au
Poi E-E awhi mai ra
Poi E tâpeka tia mai
Poi E o taua aroha
Poi E pai here tia ra
