No, no, no. Wrong video. Should have been a better representation of the song, and the record. Glossy fashionista chicks? Gloss of any kind? The song and album sang and strang of Australian innercity life circa mid-90's. The album cover did a better job of it. Terracotta, not PVC.
Came back here again to respond to your comment. Have listened to the actual song several times since though. Brilliant song, but that doesn't change the fact that the video is crap. Be happy.
@meadish In your defense on the dvd commentary on the cream and the crock tim andy and rusty admit its not a great clip, definitely not one of their best, i think you'd struggle to say many clips were better for the one for what i dont know about you but thats just me.
I didn't realize a video could completely ruin the experience of listening to a great tune, but after having watched this one as well as the one to Heavy Heart I now know that it is possible. Nothing about this video enhances or captures the mood of the song. The brilliance of Rogers' lyrics is that they come off as temporary windows into a person's life, this video just doesn't "get it" - it looks like it was made for Right Said Fred or something.
I'm Canadian and You Am I rate as one of my all-time favourite bands. I pretty much have to import all their albums since the music listeners here are too dense to pick up on these guys. I wish someone like Sloan would have them as openers for a Canadian tour and then You Am I have Sloan open for an Australian tour. That would be neat.
First time I've seen this vid, and I'm surprised they went for the Robert Parker ladies look - it doesn't have much to do with AM Breakfast Radio. Maybe Tm just wanted some lovin'!
@marvanme ha!! I thought someone would say that. Good call!I am a naturally bald man who takes drugs to keep his hair! And I liked You am I and most of rock's (second) last gasp as a popular form of music in the mid-90s.
You reckon Tim went to his local barber and said "Gimme the Ray Davies".........but haircuts aside he's up there with Davies, Westerberg or anyone else you care to name. God bless his socks!
great song ...... horrible haircuts.

@pmam1968 The band hate this video, they didn't actually WANT to do it. Bands rarely choose what happens in the videos.

@mistersmith6000 fair enough! So called 'popular music' like the airwaves today is full of so much hype and crap! Good call too!
