What the iPod just played:

As earworms go, I've been stuck with worse.

However, I had no idea that the video was so wonderfully bizarre...

A classic from a more enlightened musical age.; 5:25 PM, October 13, 2011

For some reason the ladies all bolted off the dance floor when this song played. They all seemed to like this song better.

In that case, I prefer Front 296. ;); 6:14 PM, October 13, 2011

Looks like Tarantino got one right.; 7:06 PM, October 13, 2011
NotClauswitz said...: How very delightfully 80's Euro Nosferatu. I think I recognize the Bruxxles atomic-sculpture, but I was going to say the spire-ball was the East-Berlin radio tower. Ah, summer in Germany, always so grim, dull, and overcast.; 8:36 PM, October 13, 2011

CGHill said...: Weird claim at Wikipedia regarding this song and the egg theme in the video:

"According to bandmember Patrick Codenys, this was because [director Anton] Corbijn accidentally heard that the song title was 'Egg Hunter'."

Makes as much sense as anything else.; 9:52 PM, October 13, 2011

I slapped together an MP3 CD to listen to in the tractor.

'Tater Pie is what wakes me up at night.

Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, though the one I listen to is on the "Bob Wills Texas Playboys" CD.

Pie, pie, Tater Pie.
P-I-E, E-I-P pie.

and

I'm looking for a gal who cooks,
I don't care much the way she looks.
I'll be hers until I die
if she can bake that Tater Pie.

*sigh* True love. Now, if I could just find the recipe -- and figure out if they mean sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, or meat and potatoes pie (like shepherds pie, or something).; 7:19 AM, October 14, 2011
Beaumont said...: This post got me thinking about who holds the title for Worst Music Video ever. I can make a good case for Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" video.; 11:54 PM, October 18, 2011
