Yeah this video definitely had a certain creepy air...but loved it all the more for just that reason!...Loved these guys, Sparks, Squeeze....HUGE Talking Heads fan as well...Cheers!

@hedhurtzbrainsobig This clip is very conventional next to their previous stuff (which I'm sure you've already viewed). 'Sweet Dream' and 'I See Red' take the cake over this one. This clip, and some later Crowded House's 'Chocolate Cake' video is not necessarily an astronomical change over... unlike 'I See Red' next to 'Fall At Your Feet', which is almost inconceivably the same brothers.

What exactly is the guy to the right of the drummer supposed to be doing? lol

[nzoz1980]

@MrHueJazz1 He's Noel Crombie. He designed their stage set, their clothes and played 'spoon' and percussion in the group (you know, bongos) and he took over as the band's drummer after Tim Finn (the guitarist/other leadsinger) sacked the drummer you see in this clip.  Noel Crombie was very important in Split Enz.. he wasn't just some freeloader living on the back of a successful group.

[nzoz1980]

This video is standard next to their weirder-creepier videos ('Sweet Dreams' anybody?)

[67impalalover]

@nzoz1980 Dude, chill.

@postalboy2011 Maybe they have it on Ebay. Have you looked there for it?

Melody has returned and it comes from the land down under-once again-in the form of Gotye! If you've been living under a musical rock and haven't checked him out I suggest you do so immediately! Haven't been this excited about new music since the early 80s! That's what brought me here; revisiting some of my favorites of that era.

[postalboy2011]

I wish I still owned the original vinyl LP. I love their music.

1 writer and 1 producer.

Beyonce needed half a dozen writers and another half a dozen producers to come up with

Girls, who run the world?

Girls, who run this mother?

Girls, who run the world?

And then she needs to surf Youtube to find choreographers' dance videos to rip-off for her video clips.

Love this song and "something so strong" by Crowded house; instant mood lifters!

[thecarebearhideaway]

This is one of those dark haunting songs from the 80's with a fun kick to it! Gosh how I remember skating my heart out to this song on Friday nights at the skating rink or just hanging out with friends at the pool and this song coming on and us taking wild dives off the high dive and just being wild and crazy! I had the best times back then! Oh the power of youth making us do the craziest things but leaving us the best memories and leaving us longing for those times again! I sure miss it all!:-(
