Stand Up is the first single ever released by The Triffids. The production of this single was the prize for the Triffids winning a song competition run by the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University) Student Guild’s radio show on 6NR (now Curtin FM). It was released in July, 1981.
The lyrics of the chorus exemplify a tone that Dave would pursue throughout his work.[1]
"...Stand up for your rights
Grab your baby and hold her tight
If she don't love you well it's OK
We're all gonna die anyway..."
