Sneaky Feelings was an early Dunedin Sound band who formed while at the University of Otago. Their hit single, Husband House (1985) which made it to 17 on NZ singles charts, refers to a house on Hope Street the exact address is not known. The house referred to in the song was actually called Huband House, and according to legend, a group of eligible young men lived there.

In March 2014, a discussion formed around Ali Clarkes blog post about the Online Casino Real Money NZ. A woman named Bronwyn commented, and to which Ali and I both replied.

You forgot Husband house! (Huband House – donated to St Matthews Anglican Church) The sneaky feelings even wrote a song about it…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVCHn7-qBB8

Hi Sarah, this house is important to us. The Sneaky Feelings wrote about it (held the NZ charts at#2 for quite some time) because, living in the house were a number of lads. It seemed that every time girls went around there, they ended up getting married. Prior to my husband living there, three couples from the house ended up getting married off. We were the fourth, marrying in 2005 – long after the Sneaky Feelings. Since then, St Matts has demolished the house; it was not structurally sound.

Its been a long time since I’ve been back home where I belong

Life ‘round here means you must try to be hard and strong

One day when I want to settle down I’ll go there up to Husband House

I’ll leave my friends behind although it’s fun to stay here now

Seasons fall leaves have turned to gold and the wind blows cold from the south

Not sure what I wanted from you girl but I think it’s time that we found out

One day when I want to settle down I’ll go there up to Husband House

I’ll leave my friends behind although it’s fun to stay here now

A house at 111 Clyde Street, next to Footrot Flats, on which fans of The Clean painted the lyrics of “Sad Eyed Lady”. The flat came to be known, according to Graeme Downes, as the “It’s time to go” flat, after the final line in the song.
