The video, however.
UPDATE: That gig.
Are you going to Pandagon too? It seems all the cool bloggers go there…

It’s weird, I never know when Andy Partridge or Colin Moulding is singing. I guess this is a Colin song. Also, I wonder whether the video was made after the dawn of MTV, since the song was recorded a few years before MTV debuted. It definitely has more of a 1983 Thomas Dolby feel. P.S. Are there people who ironically like XTC? Such people, if they exist, need a tune-up, because they’ve wrapped around the irony spectrum.
