I love blasting this song "I'M IN HEAVEN" while I'm cruuuuuuuising down th Garden State Parkway in my new Chevy Malibu...en route to my paramours hideaway in Point Pleasant, NJ. ... DAAAAANG! - It feels soooo right!!! An' when I woo that VG Brother - ye KNOW - I'M IN HEAVEN! ~ SHOOT ME TO TH MOON!
Fantastic to see this video again. I remember hearing Dave interviewed about this song; he described it as being about one night when he "plugged myself into the national grid" on stage ie was electrocuted, and was resuscitated by Graham Brazier.
Yes, I have one or three Mee Mee clips. I will post ASAP. I used to see them all the time live as a young fella. Great live band. The chicks loved them too.
Come to think of it, I don't see Hewson in the video - although that would be due to Dragon's 1983-84 "Body and the Beat" Australasian comeback album and resulting tour...
As for this song, I recall Hello Sailor did a version of this later, although in more of a pub rock drinking song vein...
This song was from "The Catch" the final Pink Flamingo's album. Hewson left after "We Never Close" the second album. I did see him jamming at the Gluepot in 1985 shortly before he passed away. I may have been a Party Boys Gig.
CLOUSO -- Any chance of ye posting th LYRICS to this DAVE MCARTNEY cut?

Wonderful Memories!!! If I remember rightly, this song was composed in the memory of Paul Hewson, formerly of Dragon, who had died earlier that year.

Hewson died AFTER this came out - a year or so later.
From memory, this was about when McArtney had his own near-death experience: he got electrocuted with his own guitar
