  • Annie is sensational, her voice breathed into my soul with every verse, and the instrumentals in this song pulled on my heartstrings. I hope I can follow her footsteps in the music industry someday.

  • OMG!!I never knew this was Annie!!I LOVE this song!!

  • I find this song for 18 years(from japan)

  • hugh laurie as prince gerorge! Superb!

  • love Malkovich!!!

    

  • The Prince and the porpoise and the pauper

  • @Mastikno (to Dr Johnson/Robbie Coltraine) Well I don't know what you're talking about but it sounds damn saucy! I've know some pretty liberal minded girls myself but I've never penultimated any of them in their solo sojourns or for that matter been given any Norman tongue!!!

  • @TomthatiscalledTom YES!!!! Blackadder fans do still exist!!!! You truly did make me ROFL

  • @Mastikno1 There is no heroine..unless it is our mother tongue. The mother's the heroine? Good twist! Now is there a hero?

    No Sir

    Better put one in then! George is a good name for a hero..Now where are we? Old mother tongue is in love with George the hero. What about murders? Mother tongue doesn't get murdered, does she?

    No Sir! No one gets murdered or in a tricky situation over a pound note! It's a book that tells you what English words mean!

    But I know what English words mean!

  • @TomthatiscalledTom And let me tell you, I'd no more place her in the hands of an

    unworthy man than I'd place my John Thomas in the hands of a lunatic

    with a pair of scissors.

  • as if you push hugh laurie away!! lol. great song!

  • @00PsYcHe00 I agree, totally unrealistic

  • Was that the guy from House??

  • @TheShopaholicLADY Yup =)

  • baaaaaaaldrick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hugh Laurie is sexy!

  • most pleasant memories of this song

  • John Malkovich!!!!!quanto è seducente e affascinante ideale per questo video...

  • master piece! i enjoy seeing it every time.

  • one of the best voices

  • I really can´t understand why we´re not supposed to incorporate this video and put it on our blogs, Facebook, etc. Isn´t it supposed to be a PROMO video, to PROMOTE an artist, like a piece of advertising? For sure more people would listen to Annie (and buy her albums, etc) if we could share it with our friends, readers of my blog... Anyway, everybody knows record companies are not that internet wise...

  • Hugh Laurie I LOVE YOU !! <3

  • I know exactly how she feels...

  • I was watching House the other night when this song suddenly came into my head, had no idea Hugh Laurie was in the video... weird.

  • IT'S PRINCE GEORGE! <3

  • My boyfriend cheated on me a week ago with an ex just like Annie depicts in this vid. I'm loving it. :D

  • An amazing song. Just amazing.

  • How did she get them to perform in her video!! " of the greatest male actors wih arguably the best voiced female singer!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • Why would you reject Hugh Laurie dressed like that?! I know I wouldn't :O

  • i can not believe that John Malkovich was in this and Hugh Laurie

  • Annie and Hugh are here like water & fire...marvellous vid!

    Love it !

  • great, brilliant, fantastic song......

  • Hugh Laurie AND John Malkovich. This video is a new kind of awesome.

  • So scary at 2:56

  • Hugh Laurie for me always will be the prince regent from Black Adder

    Annie is my favorite female singer on all times

  • Comment removed

  • This song is very true...

  • Three people would rather walk on broken glass than like this song.

  • Hugh Laurie could fully take John Malkovich! :P

  • Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich? This is like Blackadder meets Dangerous Liasons. Now that's something I thought I'd never see!

  • @Thorne42 Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich? Well I already knew that those two were in this video...but hold on..is that..that burd out of the Eurythmics? Oh what was her name..Annie Hall or something...

  • @Thorne42 Indeed. Hugh is even dressed the same as he was in BLACKADDER III !

  • Great catchy and groovy song.

  • Annie you are so beautiful!I love you!!!!!

  • Soooo under-rated.

  • Best lyrics ever about having a failed relationship.

  • well behaved women seldom make history

    I'm hearing you Sister

  • Love This Song

    it reminds of me when i was In melbourne and making good friends and Cynthia too

    Love Ya Cynthia xxxxxx

  • i love this song.it is on my top 10 songs of all time.I love the ELO influence in the song and Annie is just amazing and makes this song her own and she kicks ass.

    Annie you are awesome and the best.

  • its that peg leg fcka from house!

  • Fuckin Malkovich? They probably promised him Donuts and Chlamydia. I love fucking love that mad bastard!

  • @neilb229 lmao Chlamydia??

  • what a tune...I love annie ( i would indeed)

  • Brilliant song and video.

    Love the fact that Annie got John Malkovich to play the part with her.

  • Hugh Laurie : so cute , so funny, so.... GREAT !

  • What a great song from one of the best female singers ever. With John Malkovich and Hugh Laurie to boot. Let me say this: Hugh Laurie looks adorable in this video.

  • Great song :)

  • Is it wrong to really fancy John Malkovich here? It's all very 'Dangerous Liaisons'!

  • That's the second solo hit by Annie Lennox in USA, the song made it the # 14 on the Billboard Charts and also # 8 in the U.K list in the summer of 1992.

    Thank you SONY for upload the video in H.Q.

  • hugh laurie and john malkovich...this video clip is awesome :D

  • extraordinaria cantante gran gran mujer

    she´s got talent, great voice, class, charm, elegance, etc, etc.

    awesome song

  • Rather than the 18th century Imperial court, this song totally puts me in mind of Hans Christien Andersen's original "The Little Mermaid".

    But if Annie (bless her) doesn't want Hugh, I'll have him! :D

  • Annie is all class

  • Annie Lennox is the shiz!

  • Awesome song ... sure as hell raised my mood

  • Cryus the virus :/ haha

  • I love the video and the song. And Malkovitch , Dr House ( Hugh Laurie) , and many others are excellent actors here . Yes genius attracts genius. I have just realized that Annie Lennox should act in a movie . I'm sure that it would be amazing because she is very expressive , talented of course. Here she fills the screen with her presence as a Diva that she is .

  • Love this song, Annie Lennox is one of the greatest female vocalists.

  • Well, talent attracts talent. Hence Annie Lennox would attract Johm Malcovich and Hugh Laurie to appear in a video for her.

    Does anybody think they would appear for Lady Gaga or Amy Winehouse?

    Annie Lennox FTW!!

  • I like the idea for this video, the costumes and make up are very well set up! Useless to say that Annie Lennox is an incredibily charming singer!

  • 1 person is a fgt

  • Just proves to me that angels do walk among us! what a legend x

  • Annie Lennox, Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich... couldn't be any better than that. :D

  • thats John Malkovich?? Blimey

  • unarguably the best female performer EVER!!

  • How could Annie possibly reject Hugh Laurie and go after John MalKovich?! I mean, John is a very charming man, but HUGH. LAURIE. Dude. Seriously.

  • I'm guessing Hugh Laurie's supposed to be The Prince Regent in this vid?

  • @LurkingCrassZero Was this soundtrack to film, what was the name of it.

  • HUGH LAURIE :DDDDDD<33333333

  • Johm Malcovich and Hugh Laurie? Weird mix there then!!

  • I love how this film clip has become massively popular again since people found out that Hugh Laurie is in it. I grew up listening to this song AND watching HL on Blackadder and A Bot of Fry and Laurie. Nice crossroads :)

  • good

  • no wonder house went on drugs! mustve hurt his leg runnin away lol

  • I loved this song and then I saw the video and nearly wet myself! Scandelously funny. Really made it for me! Annie you are the best!

  • HAHAHAHA awesome video!

  • i love this song! it's so classy!

    =)

  • Outstanding video. Great acting. Only last 15 seconds (or so) not necessary , quite cheesy

  • Annie Lennox and John Malkovich have some dangerous liaisons.

  • What's going on here? House? In a powdered wig? In the sixteenth century? Has the man gone billy-bolly bonkers?

  • @GigglesClifton9

    I take it you haven't seen "Blackadder"? Four seasons, four eras of (slighyly skewed) English History. Comdedy Genius. Laurie wears this gear as the Prince Regent in Blackadder III. Rowan Atkinson is the four incarnations of Blackadder through history. Comedy Genius!

  • @GigglesClifton9

    PS, Please forgive my rubbish typying, my index finger has a plaster on it!

  • bounding and surrounding me buffeting and niping at my cloaks and wraps

  • LOL is that House at 0.22 I know he was also in Blackadder

  • gotta love the crazy drunken aunt

  • No exit.gaelic humour.

  • oh look its prince george!! 

  • I freaking love Hugh Laurie's face! xD

  • LEGEND!!!

  • OMG ... I just put this on and I swear .... as soon as that piano began right at the beginning .... my mouth just suddenly smiled of it's own accord, which made me laugh because it felt so weird but like ... so brilliant. OMG I LOVE YOU ANNIE! :D xxx

  • I love this video because of Annie, Hugh Laurie and John Malkovich!!! I love the three of them !!! =D

  • is Hugh Laurie in this vid at the start? >.<

  • Bloody Hell, It's House!!

  • *goosebumps & involuntary shiver*

  • what a tune

  • a Towel...know your his story, Annie...your an angel!!! Absolute!! perfection!!!

  • Lush!

  • Funny I saw this so many times when it was new and never knew the caliber of talent involved. Its only as you become older and perhaps a little more cultured its like 'ahhhh - I see now'

  • im confused...she looks like she has a towel on her head...

  • @Hannig It's a velvet headscarf

  • I love John Malkovich he is cute and he looks great in this song!

  • les belle du la dawn....reap soil worm sphere you know all that stuff...sieze this world not the one awaiting

  • Annie Lennox wat an incredible human being.

  • jai un autre malade j ecirs

  • take me from the naked womb...nigger is red not black

  • is a legend, I saw her working on a tune in her studio.

    She's such a perfectionist.

    20 times she told her backing singers to redo the line even though it sounded perfect.

    I adore her...

    Kath x x x

  • Casanova

  • Annie Lennox is AWESOME in this video. I love her personality.

  • Are those John Malkovich and Hugh Laurie in the vid? I LOVE ANNIE. She's so talented, nothing today holds a candle to her.

  • Yes it is !

  • Annie is the best female vocalist his era has seen.

  • HUGH LAURIE- luv it!!

  • hugh laurie? X'D hahaha is that the prins regent???

    never noticed that :-P

  • I love this vdeo soooo much! It's just so real and her emotions are priceless :)

  • Dude the first frame the guy sitting to her right its House Hugh Laurie and the guy who jilted her character is another great actor John Malkovich

  • the man she has up against the wall is the man from a film called conair he plays sirus the virus

  • hey its house! that house show is great!

  • This song has very special meaning for me. When I was 13 I fell into a coma after a bad epileptic fit. When I came round a couple of weeks later in Pendlebury Hospital Manchester this song was playing on the hospital radio. It's the only thing I remember of that time. I'm 31 now but I still get chills and vivid memories whenever I hear it.

  • @antonw91 congratulations on a recovery on your coma, this song is weired but i cant help but like it! cheers

  • @glockeva Thanks, It was almost 20 years ago but the song still has a profound effect on me. It's funny how certain things can make people remember so vividly. :-)

  • love it

  • Back in the day when there WAS some decent music on the radio.

  • When this video was made, Hugh Laurie was best known for the role of the Prince Regent, an inbred, bufoonish, crass (and hysterically funny) character in the 1988 comedy Blackadder the Third. It was set in the same historical period as Dangerous Liasons where John Malkovich played an upper class seducer.

  • Am I being mardy? I think this video is a waste of a great dal of talent. Annie Lennox is my favourite voice and HL and JM are great - but what's going on here? Hazard a guess that Dave Stewart didn't produce this. The song, as usual for Annie Lennox, is just wonderful.

  • @SuperTALC

    Yeah, you're being mardy. But aren't you impressed that someone here knows what mardy means?

  • @FeminaReal  i know what mardy means ;)

  • bellissimo!

  • 0:37 : What is doing Dr. Gregory House here ? :)

    Even better : john malkovitch @ 0:50
