This song was in my mind all day triggered by a single phrase. Firt time viewing the video, and found the music inspiring, the video itself seemed to mach up with the song untill the helecopter exploded. then I was turned off.
That's funny. I'm just reading how a line from this song "has been a fixture in "worst lyrics" polls for 25 years, attaining the top slot in one conducted last year by BBC 6Music." That's not what you meant by "outdid", I'm guessing...
They have class and style...and it's still wonderfull!

This tune sounds much better with a kickin' stereo system. One of my fave ABC tunes.

Underestimated Beauty Stab album in 1983 an i did not understand why as it was brilliant opus! Martin is one of the best Brit Pop voice

there's a dance song by this guy Joshua Klip that TOTALLY samples (or interpolates) the piano keyboard line at the beginning of this song.....

It's not you. I love this song but the video sucks. All videos of that day were like that. The art of video never really did get much better, either.

I've been looking for this video since 1983.
My God, I can't believe I'm watching this.
Thank you so much for posting this. I can die in peace now...well sort of.
Plus it kicks at 2:10.

Still wonderful music, and still inspiring.

Wow!! Mr. Martin Fry really outdid himself lyrically on this album. Beauty Stab is a lost treasure of the 80's. I highly recommend it.

Which line are you talking about?
It may be a tad clumsy in spots, but there's NOTHING here that could be worse than what's come out of the current pap pop scene.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I had to look it up again. "Can't complain, mustn't grumble/Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble."
That's pretty bad, even by today's standards.
