didn’t he just get pissed off because Rush or Sean used this song in a sarcastic way to describe that slut Fluke???
That was my first thought as well.
You have a GREAT memory, BHF!! I remember that video and your are right!
Sorry that’s not it - the one Im thiniking of is black and white with the singer in a suit and hat Nearly every word seems to be a vegetable or fruit
Oh, that’s a good one! I have not seen that video in so many years. Peter Gabriel—what a creative guy!
Peter Gabriel has withdrawn his permission for one of his songs to be used as “bumper” music by Rush Limbaugh.
As I remember, Gabriel was a 1-2 hit wonder and has disappeared from the music scene other than small venue stages. He won’t be missed.
This was a great example of when MTV had good artistic music videos, from Madonna (Like a Virgin and Express Yourself), Beat It (Michael Jackson) and the all time great “Thriller”, to Weird Al Yankovich’s “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon”, the Cars “You Might Think”, and “Take Me Home” by A Ha (from about 1981 - 1992.
After that, rap music destroyed musical videos for a decade until Country/Western took over with “Tobey Keith” (What do you think about me now), “Tobey Keith and Willie Nelson” (Beer for My Horses), Brooks and Dunn (”Red Brick Road”, “Boot Scootin’ Boogy”), Keith Urban (A Girl Like You), and Brad Paisley, “The Fishing Song” and “”Celebrity” with William Shatner, Martina McBride “Concrete Angel”, Sara Evans “Suds in the Bucket”, and just about anything with Shania Twain.
Also can’t forget Kenney Chesney and Alan Jackson’s vacation songs, including “It’s 5 O’clock somewhere”, and other Jimmy Buffet-type videos.
Those were the good old days for kids raised in the 80’s. For us old-timers, it was film clips from “American Bandstand”, the Alan Freed movies (those with “Rock” in their titles”), “Beach Blanket Bingo” (we all loved Annette), and ELVIS, the KING movies.
