Great song, great songwriting. Just one problem: the video. The beat here is strong, you might even say danceable. The video is a mix of Stan's most un-charismatic face combined with overly artsy black & white clips of a girl whose face we never see but I guess is supposed to be Carol. I know I should find this footage mysterious and enticing, but I just don't. Stan, how could you be so interesting in Mexican Radio and so boring here?
i herad this track on the VCR, about 10 years ago....when my parent shore out on town...and my and my sisten whent through some thing in a closet, and found a caset and played it, and we bouth liket it so much, that we listend to it for 2 hours non-stop....until our parents got home... time flyies when your having fun :X i just love this track :X Nice one Stan ;) it has a nice catchy thing :) :D

Stan's first solo album Mosquitos has some fabulous tracks on it including this one.
Of all his albums this is my favourite.

@jayah2007 Mosquitos is one of my all time favorites, but it's actually Stan's second sole album - The Big Heat was the first one.
