Believe it or not, yes. In its early days, MTV was so desperate for content that they resorted to airing honest-to-goodness art.

U 4 real? This aired on MTV? :O (I know Beavis & Butthead - ironically - brought the fine arts to the waves but for real? Did this air on the channel that currently shows My Sweet 16 instead of music videos?)

@@Dhakadice sadly, yes. MTV used to about music 24/7. But then Real World aired and it made a crapton of money with extremely low budget... and then that model proliferated.

I take it to have a double meaning. The first is a skeptical comment about human relationships. Being in love with someone generally leads to unhappiness, so a love that gets away mercifully spares you of that unhappiness. The other meaning is that we tend to imagine perfection in those that reject us. At times, everyone thinks back to a failed relationship, and imagines how perfect things would have been if only it would have worked out. There's more to elaborate on, but I'm out of room!

i think i just figured it out. the man in the video is seen staring at the picture...i think it was his wife, who is dead now. they were together forever because they never got divorced or broken up, their relationship only ended because she died ("getting away"). They had a perfect love but it ended because she "got away" by dying.

The Residents' sound seem too cold, sterile and "art project-y" for me. They seem like a more existential version of Blue Man Group! Too post modern for post modern sake and this coming from a guy who likes Beefheart, Zappa, Devo, a bit of Kraftwerk, etc
