Mooloolaba is a suburb and tourist resort township on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia. It is located 97 kilometres (60 mi) north of the state capital, Brisbane, and is part of the Maroochydore urban centre.
Mooloolaba derives from the Aboriginal word mulu, meaning snapper fish, or mulla meaning Red-bellied Black Snake. Originally known as Mooloolah Heads, the name was changed to Mooloolaba by Thomas O'Connor in 1919 when he subdivided land for sale there.
Mooloolaba is bounded on the east by the Coral Sea, on the south by the Mooloolah River, on the north by Alexandra Headland and to the west by Buderim. Mooloolaba Harbour (actually the mouth of the Mooloolah River) is the home of a large fleet of fishing vessels, as well as being the northern base for the pilot vessels that control shipping through Moreton Bay and the Port of Brisbane. Due to its sheltered location in the lee of Point Cartwright, it is an all-weather harbour favoured by recreational sailors.
The esplanade facing Mooloolaba beach is a centre for tourist activity, containing the UnderWater World marine park, as well as many souvenir and clothing shops, bookshops, galleries and restaurants. Behind the apartments facing the beach are camping grounds, backpacker hostels and canal villas.
You'll let me take you to the next level
Let your mind be free
Let your mind be free
If you wanna get with me
Simple as 123
Talkin 'bout ABC
Like it real nasty
If you wanna play with me
Oh boy don't waste my time
You can keep me on a chain
But I don't think you can take the pain
And all the things that I put you through
It just drove you crazy
Cos I'm so crazy
You took control and set me free (set me free)
Between the flame of you and me (you and me)
And even though I had it all (had it all)
I still reached out for more
Let your mind be free
If you wanna get with me (get with me)
Simple as 123
Talkin 'bout ABC (ABC)

If you wanna play with me (play with me)
Oh boy, don't waste my time
I like your way without knowing how
But there are some things that still get me down
Same old way of making love
It's not quite enough
I need some more
You took control and set me free (set me free)
Between the flame of you and me (you and me)
And even though I had it all (had it all)
I still reached out for more
Let your mind be free
If you wanna get with me (if you wanna get with me)
Simple as 123
