I also never knew there was a video for "Mario".. how cool! One of my favorite tracks from "Going Gets Tough". This certainly is lo-tech, and more than a little confused with the sloppy editing. Maybe a promo for a tv show? Wonder why no Dave Barbarosa (not sure--is that Dave back there? Well.. anything by BWW is a treat, thanks kinburst!
Best song from When the Going Gets Tough album. I love the "OOH, HEY, OOH, HEY, OOH, HEY !" part. I remember when they were doing sound checks when I saw them at "X" Fest in San Diego in 82 or 83, they were doing those tribal grunts and yells. They were great. Matthew Asheman had that Ennio Morricone Spaghetti Western thing going on, I love this band. Thanks for posting this.
I remember just loving them in '83-'84... dad tried to take me to their concert (on the Riverboat President) but it was sold out. Dang. Thanks for posting :)
Okay this is truly a special moment-this is my fav BWW song and never knew there was a video. Wow. Why this song was not a major hit is a mystery. Thanks for the post.
I agree-maybe if their videos had not been so "silly", they would have enjoyed greater popularity. It is a shame because their music is so innovative. Have a good one.
I can only guess that they didn't have the money or connections to have well produced videos. I'm glad you see their music as "innovative"........I really don't know who can match them musicly! I do love some of the drumming from Adam and the Ants (yes, I do know the history there). I have to say that BWW is my fav band. I'd love to see a video for King Kong!
I suppose BWW were more about fun rather than being a slick set-up... Can you imagine Annabella Lwinn doing a one million pound video-shoot with arsenals of hairdressers and make-up artist? I can't. BWW would not have fitted into that corporate naffness... though of course it is a shame they never got as big as they deserved. Still... this way at least they got spared having to do Live Aid, Band Aid, Ferry Aid, Naff-Aid, anal warts-aid and all that shit.
love the RHCP, but how much style did they cop from these guys???? I mean really... ;)

I never knew this was a single. I kind of thought Aphrodisiac would have been a better choice at the time.

I couldn't agree with you more! I too have never seen this video.
( Their music is far superior to their videos.)

check out the unique drumming by Adam Ant's band!

@nirvana609 This band was an offshoot of Adam and the Ants...IMO They exceeded them... (BTW, Culture Club is also an offshoot of them)
