This is a classic example of how an awesome band and everyone in it can really enjoy what they do. You can really tell Petty and the rest of the band had a blast with this song.
ha ha tom petty always has the strangest films but yet so enjoyable Perfect its just a wonderful song and an amazing band 33 years of wonderful music.
this video is not cheesey at all, great song great video, remember this album was released in 1980, a time shortly before the term music video was even introduced! what more could you expect?
The album, Southern Accents, was NOT released in 1980! It was released in 1985 the same year my twins were born! I had to buy 5 cassettes of this album that year because I played it so much I wore the tape out all of the time.
BTW Koutecky, Wikipedia also has a long page written about Tom Petty. I think you might enjoy reading it.
Love this song. Not one of their best videos...but then they set the bar high. TP & The Heartbreakers have had so many groundbreakers. So funny to see Tom in those Todd Rundgren style glasses.
Her name is Wish Foley, and she was dating the drummer at the time these videos were filmed. She also plays Alice in the 'Don't come around here no more' video. At least that is what I read in other comments.
Cool video. And the lady at the beginning of the song is so hot! One bummer was that the eerie drum machine solo at the start of the video wasn't on the actual album. Don't Come Around Here No More had a great eerie drum machine sound to it and I was hoping for more from this follow up single. Cool video and hot babe (from the DCAHNM video) all the same!
This was always an underrated TP song. I remember it from the summer of '85, when I first turned 21 and hearing it in bars! Does anybody make sunglasses like that? Love 'em!
I love the band to death but my god, Southern Accents had like 4 good songs and the rest were just not good, worst album by them and effort by them, I blame the coke.
If you like this song though, listen to the dance mix of the song, it's even better
How can you not love a video where the band jumps out of someone's ear ? It might be cheesey, but is still more interesting than anything I've seen lately...
why is it not on the D.V.D. ?? because the record companies,don't know what they're doing'look at AC/DC theres8 songs released in austaillia,never in the U.S.,check it out on YOUTUBE
she is currently wish foley-cohen. during this time she was dating i believe the drummer from the band. she used to be one of my acting instructors and is the nicest lady. she still looks the same! lol, kids though. really nice lady and even had monolouges written for me and another girl by some really great screenwriters!
Thanks for posting this great lost video, I remember it back in '85. Tom even used the same back up singers and horn section in his tour that year which included Live Aid. I agree, the girl who played Alice and this video was hot...what was her name?
After you are done hanging with Tom, fire up a fatty, and check out the "Shake For Me Now" video in my site.
