Great video. Remember it was 1983. People actually had a sense of humor.

A great song from the 80's to go with, Wall of Voodoo's, Mexican Radio.

@loughlindude thanks for saying it. I was just reading through these statements and BOOM you hit the nail on the head, which is why he threw in the humour of his own issues.

you idiots this song is about phil being an illegal alien from the u.k.

Does anybody else ever scratch their head and wonder when people become so stupid. The word for this song isn't racist, it's satire. For example; Youtube comments are intelligent, coherent and enlightening. Youtube is fantastic because most users are quick and witty and very little needs to be explained or spoon fed to them. Very little time is wasted in frustration, trying to explain even the most mundane and simplistic concepts. Most people on Youtube are very coherent and have common sense.

@ronjeremyismydad This song isn't anti-latino, it's not anti-immigrant or anti-mexican. Didn't you listen to the lyrics?

@juancatfish1 Roger (Pink Floyd) Waters complained about Genesis once. "And as for Genesis and THAT song ("I Can't Dance"), and that stupid walk.. You'd never catch Bob Dylan writing a song like that". To which Phil replied: "Roger failed to see the humor in it. I think Roger fails to see the humor in alot of things".

junto con ELO, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Yes, Deep Purple, Dire Strais , lo mejor de la musica del siglo XX.

Musica sublime y MUSICOS DE LA PUTA MADRE, cada tema tenia una idea, una historia, una formacion musical, cada tema ERA UNA OBRA CONCEPTUAL EN SI MISMA.

Muerte a los inventos Justin biberga, etcetcetc.

You are the one comically blind. This was the 80's. He was trying to bring awareness.

Amnesty has been given. And It really bugs my butt, when I see people of the same culture, treat them like a lesser person. The legal mexicans pour their work on to the backs of the illegals with threats of deportation. Extort money from them, and the legals marry illegals so they can have free pass back to Mexico as an American citizen...and leave the spouse behind if there is any trouble.
