It might be a bit hissy and scratchy, but it's still 100X better than the crap that is played on the air today.
Thanks for posting.

Start of their themed albums, XTC is awesome. Reminds me of the stuff my Dad would play from his days in the navy in WW2. A little bit of Harry belafonte(sp?) calypso tossed in... really cool.
XTC is way too underrated. Best music investment i ever made.

This song stays with you always. I remember i used to sing it constantly and my 3 year old song picked up on it - interesting times! (he is 9 now and still loves it and is working out the chords on guitar!

Man, I wish so much that XTC had a complete video compilation. They have SO many great videos, including this one! If only Virgin would let it go already...

Wow, never saw this before. So amazingly close to the video I had in my head for this absolute darling of a song.

This just may be from a video tape I sent to someone in Knoxville. It looks like its from a spotlight that did on Much Music. I used to bug the hell out of them to play XTC videos. Especially the videos I rarely saw of theirs including this one.

That may very well be true. I live in London, but downloaded this from a fileshare site back in 2003 (I think?) It's not impossible that whoever you sent the tape to uploaded it there, and I ended up copying it over to here.
