Would you say the same thing about Baudelaire? I guess that once you are a moron, you keep being one.

Very nice.

Love the hand at the end.

This would have given me nightmares for months when I was 12. :0

Awesome that I found this! I was one of the extras in the ballroom dancing scene. This was filmed in the summer of 1997 in a historic building that was abandoned at the time, on College Street just west of University. It was a scorching hot summer day, so we constantly had to have our faces dabbed from the perpetually running make-up ;-) If I remember correctly, the video release party was held a few months later at the Velvet Underground. I'm still waiting for my VHS copy, haha.

Nope

Bei allem Respekt, das ist lachhaft.

@beboplulala Thanx for info about this Baudelaire poem. I guess it wasn't only Victorians who craved for deadly sex encounters of the third kind with fangy midnight mistresses, on the other side of the channel it seems the same happened. Anyway it fits the song quite well.

(...) I implored the rapid sword To secure my liberty, I asked the poison I abhorred To succour my timidity, Alas! the poison and the sword Only showed contempt for me: 'You deserve not the reward Of freedom from your slavery, Fool! - if our resolution Saved you from its sovereignty, You would kiss alive again The Vampire's tenement of clay!

@CyberpunkVideodrome The Vampire (Poem by Charles Baudelaire) Thou who, like a dagger thrust, Entered my complaining soul; Thou who, potent as a host Of demons, came, wild, beautiful, To make my heart cast on the ground Into your bed and your domain; -Wretch infamous to who I'm bound like the convict too the chain, The stubborn gambler to his dice, The drunkard to his revelry, The carrion to worms and lice, -Cursed, cursed may Thou be! (...)

[CyberpunkVideodrome]

Great! the music... and the visuals were pretty advanced for the time (altough cliché nowadays). Does someone have the lyrics to this?

[OhZombieful]

oh... and yes  the hand and children's snickering : terrific ending !

Well done Lucero Milchorena and MR!

[OhZombieful]

This is an absolutely stunning video..

Always loved this song, now even more...

Wow ~ loooove the treatment... eerie, creepy, it flows... colourful yet dark ;-) Powerful!!!
