Great tune...twisted video! Love it. Anyone know where I can get the "Waiting for Mary" video they used to show on 120 Minutes? "Welcome to Mars! It's open all hours! (What are we doing here?)" It took place in a diner (called Mars). Pere Ubu sitting at a table in the diner...
I dunno, the Ubu diehards always seem to have mixed feelings about this album, and this song in particular. But I absolutely love it. Ubu were made to do, for lack of a better term, "twisted pop." How can you not listen to Ravenstein's "controlled chaos" of synthesizers rambling through this entire song and not think, "damn, I wish everything sounded this demented on the radio."
@stevel738 i have no problem with "Cloudland" as it was the first full lengh album I got. previously I just had the first five songs on a promo disc bought for "Waiting For Mary".
This was an old song for them, it has Peter Laughner's name as one of the writers, if memory serves.
good memories... thanks for posting!

I think this is a remake of one of their early songs they used to play at the Pirate's Cove called "Can't Believe It"

The drummer is cool as f**k.
I have them playing on a U.K. TV show and he never even attempts to play the drums at all. He just sits there waggling them!
