My personal favorite in the 80s Popocalypse video genre. I think you're obliged to mention, though, that this was directed by Tobe Hooper.
Good point. Another obligation fallen short of. I will report immediately to the movie bloggers' penalty box.
I actually loved this song when it first came out as a Generation X single, and then, by the time it finally became a hit in America, he'd been flogging it, remixing, and re-releasing it for so long that I felt pretty "meh" towards it. Now, with some years between, I can again appreciate that its a pretty nifty tune.
