Wow....I was in this video, but got cut :( I am in the crowd when they show the woman in the turban, but over beyond where they show in the video. You can see my roommate though, she is right behind Turban woman!!! Doug Bennett (Doug & the Slugs) was directing!!
@deidre300 Did you not know that 25 years ago? I love this video and watch when I need my hit of the Zap Man- he was a big part of my musical arena - I saw him in Victoria, BC Canada and followed his music a lot after that - he's still got it goin' on - love his rendition of Mrs. Jones in his later career - a class act. Hey...at least you were there at the filming and were a 'part of it'..c'est la vie mon ami!
While I love Zappacosta, this is an awesome song, and I traveled in the same circle of musicians as Alfie back at that time, I have to say this vid was so cheesy, even then, whoever came up with the story boards for this was just wrong. lol :)
Lisa4615 (got it wrong by a digit last time (3 instead of 4 - ahhhh it's the the small stuff that can trip you up! stuff happens!) You may already know this, but most lyrics you want for a lot of artists and music are pretty much 'out there' - just GOOGLE and you will likely find what you're looking for....Good luck my fellow die hard Zappa fan :-) - Shar
@beingshar :D thanks havent been on here lyrics & music was awesome back then not like now ,,, i do so miss this guy even though i live in the bible belt
Woohoooooo Lisa3615! Right at about 2:07 into the vid - check out this bone structure! I could eat him alive also- he was awesome in concert! Right up front! Ahhhhhhhhh I could have eaten him up also! He has a hell of stage presence -- even today! (bit of a different swagger about him :-)
I saw him in Victoria, BC CANADA in 1987-- excellent back then and seeing this now it brings back mannnnnnnnny memories ! Although very 80's , very sexy man! Alhough a rather tragic video, gotta consider the 'times' :-)

He has an opera singer's voice. I love how the video has that AM radio sound to it. Brings back memories of living in Edmonton and hearing it on 630 CHED.

Hey,if it wasnt for the 80s,he majority of the top artists today wouldnt have the music to rip off in order to be thought of as original lol

Nice. Typical eighties. The turban looks like a drag queen ... and the singer wears the shirt of Bruce Springsteen..

The video concept does not do the words of this song justice. They simply don't match up. Oh well, I still love Alfie and this song.

This is without a doubt one of the most passionate love songs written by a Canadian artist what a classic and very moving emotionally with love.
