I noticed that no one had left a negative comment on this page. So I didn't want this video to feel left out. So here it is: Damn this shit is gay, and it sucks. There... I don't really feel that way but for some reason it felt appropriate.

without trying to plug anything, we played this song and other rare songs on Pipeline Radio's Podcasting service which is damn good!

Adam and Joe on BBC 6 Music played this tune on their pre-recorded Christmas show (12/20/08 broadcast date) and I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever heard the song on radio anywhere. The hook sure did sound familiar though--I immediately was visualizing Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber getting all duded up to meet Mary. Was this song in the movie but left off the soundtrack?

i think the police has its interestings musical developments, like what they did with reggae...in ther firsts albums, but listening to XTC you`ll find tons of brilliant ideas per each record. it has been said once and again, and i`ll only repeat it: what a band!!!

Great song. Hook after hook! Pop at it's finest... What a bassline! Is it fretless? The 'slippin and slidin' and double stops he does at 1:19 - 1:55 sound a bit like Colin could be playing a fretless, but my "36 years of rock bass playing" ears could be mistaken? Fantastick songwriting. "Mayor of Simpleton" another pretty bassline!

Also, for you young ones, did y'all ever here of XTCs alter ego band, DUKES OF STRATOSPHERE! Great tribute to the Beatles without an exact copy. One of my favorite albums evah. I think they did two eps but if you get the cd it has both. I love it 20 years later. Yes, I'm old. but I know the difference between the police, the talking heads, and xtc!
