Kind of a strange song and even stranger video and, of course, most of the critics hate it, but I liked it, and it ended up being the only hit they ever had.
I grew up in the 160's, so, most of that music, especially the psychedelic stuff, is my fave of all time, but, I also love the early `80's techno-pop!! Gary Numan + Tubeway Army, Tears For Fears, Big Country, XTC, King Crimson, Art Of Noise, Eurythmics, Laurie Anderson, Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band, Yello, Adam & The Ants, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Tangerine Dream, The Fixx, Rupert Hine, The Android Sisters, Godley & Crème, Men At Work, Men Without Hats, Wall Of Voodoo, Devo, Yes, The Cars, The Police, Kissing The Pink...and the list goes on forever!!!! Mostly, I loved the stuff from the `80's because that was a phenomenal decade for me!! I got into a band, we recorded 2 albums, we had a lot of local success, I got my first two girlfriends, I got laid (kissed, third base, held hands, etc.) for the first time, I went to college and met some GREAT people that I could actually call, "friends"!! And a great deal of the music was still not only incredible and VERY poignant, but it became creative again and we had a second psychedelic wave!! The movies were great again, the doldrums and most of the idiocy of the `70's was FINALLY over!!
