Does anybody know who sang this song? "Talking to the blue sky. Drinking on a rooftop. Listen to my heart go, don't go, look into my mind go, don't go. Stay the second time around. Won't you please stay the second time around. Oh darling stay the second time around. (Style: synthpop Year:1984-1988). Many thanks! We're looking for years, please help us out :-)
Was brilliant in 1986 and has lost nothing of its' magic in the last 24 years - I wonder how many of today's songs will be able to say that of themselves in 20..wait, 2034???
But...don't forget to switch off that set, will you...?
Actually the whole band is just one person: Rupert Hine. The other 3 'musicians' are actors. Rupert Hine wanted to show the world, how easy it is to manipulate. He created this fake band, and everyone believed it.
The music is nearly unlistenably bad - two chords, trying to be funky, lyrics are clunky - but the video is truly astonishing for 1986. Remarkable production values and video technology!

Take a match to your empire and teach you how to dream! We need to learn to dream again and quit all this constant connectivity.

I guess, the female background vocalist is Dalbello. Anyway........ a masterpiece.

I've frequently entertained the idea of taking a .45 to my television, and I've also thought of doing the same thing to this computer a few times.

you don't need a lot of chords to be good.

@ bdiscoe
You've missed the main point of the song. It's the message not so much the music in this one.
Let's break down 'the formula'. He addressing how media (television specifically) is used to propagate a message, mostly negative.
Let's play real life instead. Just turn these Madison ave(and Hollywood) marketeers off, and realize that it's mostly lies that they're selling us.
Let's turn off the set. Stop buying into all the BS. Brilliant message way back in 86' and more relevant today.
