Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

Clumsy Lyrics
Split Enz
Something in my genes makes me uncoordinated
A butter-fingered boy, my D.N.A. was deviated
I don't want to tell a lie, I'm an ungainly guy
Girls are graceful when they dance
Oh, I really love to watch them dancing
Yeah, I'm clumsy
Yeah, real clumsy
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to see you back
Look at that negro go
He's moving like a cat in a factory
Why can't I do that, I'm full of beans and I'm spilling the drinks
In the meantime we'll survive, I was born to bungle
And at last I realise
That nobody's taking me for granted
Yeah, I'm clumsy
Yeah, real clumsy
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to see you back
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to be relaxed
(repeat to fade)
