[natmingmcf1]

this song keep me going when i was going thru some tough times-thx so much!!

[nancyaad33]

i love this song .

[theshathenst4f]

quisiera decir que este video interpreto un caso de momentos de dolor al temr de rechazo por los suyos.lo mismo dice el album que hizo roland raoul y los reyes de españa como fue inspirado a sus raices y habla de la sangre familiar quizas asi enfrento su pasado con los suyos es decir su familia.

[Icabodhorstman0801]

Hopefully I will locate this album in a record store sometime soon. Gorgeous song, reminds me of "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who.

Ernie Kovács... 'nough said.

No, wait:  gorillas in the mist of time, seen through the the misty eyes of a person wracked with emotional pain, depicted in sketches.

Divine inspiration, or delirium tremens? (I'm inclined to go with the latter. XD)

Well, it matters not - still deserves a 'like' vote, a place among the favourites, and a comment to boot. :) Whatever the cause, it's still a step in the 'right' direction, towards the weird and wondrous world of nonconformity. 'Conga-rats!' ;)

[natmingmcf]

i listened to this song every night before going to bed helped me get to sleep it is so comforting

[pocketgoth]

This is quite amusing. Thank you.

I bet those suits are hot.

[psfoxfire]

Brilliant on every level. Bow to you.

[saraphinn]

Love the Ernie Kovacs. Not the video I had in mind, but bravo.

[aliciabrissou]

love the flamenco part

[rise1931]

Or Picasso.

[rise1931]

Does anyone else think of Frida Kahlo when they hear this song?

In addition to gorillas in tutu's, of course.

[sindyseidel]

Reminds me of my daddy

[emmyphale]

Amazing! : )

[VDRun1988]

This is absolutly amazing!

[rise1931]

Ahhh!.. Now whenever I hear this song I think of gorillas in tutu's... Every time.

Terminusj... Whatever you do don't think about a zebra.

Couldn't help yourself, could you?

[terminusj]

I made this video about 10 years ago, it just sort of "came to me" in a weird otherworldly way. It so oddly fit the music, it was a bizarre epiphany. I can't think of the song without it either now. It is such a great song, and who'd have thought something so weird would fit with it? Realize the video itself was from roughly around 1960 or so by Ernie Kovacs. Not sure how my mind put the two together, but it works. Quite poignant!

[rise1931]

Well I love it. So, thanks!

[gpello]

Very well done indeed, you are very clever!

One of my favourite TFF songs, along with many others including of course "Pharaohs". Thanks for sharing :)

[reggie46404]

Hey terminusj. How do I watch the original video for the dancing gorillas? I want to hear the original adio for the video.

[terminusj]

@reggie46404 It is available here for sale at Amazon. Just look up The Best Of Ernie Kovacs.

[reggie46404]

@reggie46404 Thanks. I was able to find the video right here on youtube. This music fits the video better than the music they originally danced to.

[joeveto]

Unbelievable. Brilliant. This is one of my favorite videos of all time.

[marajake]

This is my absolute favorite TFF song. I ADORE it to no end. Almost makes me want to cry.

[Belindashort]

this song always makes me cry

[vintagegarden]

This is brilliant! I was on the fence about it the first time I saw it, but watched it again and found that I love it! Bravo! :)

[TheTFFcentric]

There is a video of a live concert of Roland singing/playing this song. It is excellent. He shouts "Ole" in the middle of it.

[andrewattsup]

Why, when I watch this, do I picture Roland laughing his ass off? Great job, Terminusj.

[terminusj]

I kind of hope he does. A small bit of brilliance on my part meshing these together. But I would be that someone as savvy as Roland probably saw this at some point. I tried to give a video tape of this to him at a concert once in the US, but couldn't get anywhere near.

[andrewattsup]

The poor man...mobbed everywhere he goes!! I saw them a few weeks ago at one of their West Coast (US) gigs. Killer show...especially hearing "Raoul" (AWESOME!), The Quiet Ones (from ELAHE) and Woman In Chains.

[blujoos]

does anyone know of any tabs available for this song it is stunning

[videobros35]

i know them but you have to give me the song by Graduate "Ever Met A Day"

[aliciabrissou]

such a beautiful song

[MandyJams]

just heard this song for the first time, i like it :D

[theartist124]

Thank You!!!!!!!!

[mortimerbraxis]

what an album, MFG!!!!

[asscockballtits92]

tabs?

[bobaflashgordon]

Guitar Tabs, Not X.

[totinavarro]

buen video algo melancolico para estos tiempos pero bueno .

[nomadsroad]

Even while this song is so lovely, I'm laughing my ass off. You're definitely a Kovacs for the YouTube Generation.

[Julianeleal]

This is the best one song of album "Raoul and the kings of Spain"!

[gmiddelhof]

great song....

[lioxrock]

je ne comprend pas l'anglais mais j'ai toujours adoré cette chanson trés original.

[suhairihussin]

really love this song.Roland great

[TheJollyReprobate]

Brilliant pairing! Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant!

[angel260105]

quien es raoul, que significado tiene en el album???, disculpen mi ignorancia

[gmiddelhof]

raoul era un rey de espna

[ericheretoday]

about Rothko?

[VerdureVision]

I already loved this song, but with the Kovacs video, it's surreal and strangely beautiful. Thanks so much for posting this!

[zakmakkraken]

This is my favourite song from Raoul...album.Fantastic stuff.

[jessicawafa]

tears for fears would always be my favorite band forever

[DYNODRUM]

Hey- the Choreography fits better than an "old brown shoe "the wonder of it all " cheeky mankee ....

[Zopiclone49]

i don't know if we can describe this one...just fantastic, that makes me feel so strange... I love Tears for Fears

[succubuty]

sening my love from hungary, thanks for uploading this!

[cecilitaf]

Horrible!!

[vapourdrawings]

all we are is dust in the pain.

[vapourdrawings]

iam an idiot. the comment i made previously is proof. sorry.

[Augustbeauty69]

You aren't an idiot. You said what you felt the vid made you feel, and I think that's kind of what the song says. How nothing we all are in the end, right? Those poor, sad, silly apes...that's us. Sad, silly apes.

[reggie46404]

It is dust in the wind dude.

[ornamentaldespair]

yeah i know, they sound somewhat similar.

[TheNinniach]

Fantastic

[RonG40]

Like a said to you before, terminusj, it could be a total mind****, but this vid is strangely haunting and beautiful. As someone else commented, Roland should see this, as I have a feeling he'd dig it!

[RonG40]

A simply awesome song...but Ernie Kovacs? This is somewhere between brilliant and insane! Love it.

[terminusj]

Hehe! I think you got it! I like that, somewhere between brilliant and insane!

[sourgirl1964]

Hey terminusj! AMAZING!!! You did a beautiful job here. Where did you find this video clip? It's perfect with this song! RonG40 is right, Roland SHOULD see this. BRILLIANT!

[veociclopes]

tremendos

[kemplo]

is he support the theory of evolution?

[vapourdrawings]

wow, what an excellent song, i am moved by the music. roland is a great songwriter, i've never read where he was given his due!

[davalos8000]

Someone should send this to Roland...

[roomark]

love tears...nice vid you made sure its THE UK GOVERMENT FUCKIN BAFFOONES

[reggie46404]

Gorillas doing ballet huh.Weirdly it goes with the song.Tears For Fears is my favorite band of all time.

[lvanhalen]

raoul and the kings of spain good album!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[igiveupigiveup]

BRILLIANT. I cried til I laughed.

[siasti]

Very nice song (from which album?) but I presume that this is not the original video...

[JaiBlueCave2]

The album is Raoul & The Kings of Spain (1995). Curt was not part of TFF at the time. And, no, the song had no promotional video.

Jaime Argentina

[krieger2000]

Man, this was incredible. Disturbing, it touches deep.

[DoctorHannibal]

almost perfect song.

i really love this guys...

tears for fears is part of my life!

[eponitzen]

This is how AIDS started

[reggie46404]

What with Gorillas dancing in ballet outfit's?

[reggie46404]

lol

[neilbombd]

What's happened to the wonderful music that Kovacs used originally? ARGGGHHHHH!!!

[terminusj]

didn't care for the original music too much, so that is why I changed it!

[JaiBlueCave2]

I love TFF, I'm the biggest Argentinian fan, and I love this song particularly. Thanks for making a video for it

[divifold]

ha ha!

[ItsInTheTrees]

Crazy video - but, great music from TFF as usual, thanks terminusj

[reggie46404]

They never made a video for this song.He just dubber TFF over this video.A great song never the less.
