This was an exqusite rendition of theirs for this song. Thanks so much for posting it and leaving it up for me to find :) It has one of the best audios from any of their covers of it that I've found, so I really don't know how this has only gathered like 800 views in 8 years. Really great work patching the three camera perspectives up too, instead of just one shot zooming in and out. Fr it feels lke a glitch in the Matrix that this video is as obscure as it is, and that I, of all people, have found it now. Anyway, thanks!

Not bad not bad stuff they came out around the same time Devo came out and that was the style of the music back then as well as the band The Cars then of course came Echo and the Bunnymen good music back then but that was the style back then

Looks and sounds like the greatest goth band of all time that isn't considered goth. Wow. I'm 53 yrs old and never heard of this band until yesterday. I've been missing out on this most of my life. How have I never heard of this until now? But I do now have a new favorite band. That's rare at my age.

I get a strong sense of rather self consciously sending up guitar heroics and big Guitar Rock Songs here, and paradoxically happening to be an utterly great Guitar Rock Song.

I went to Dingwalls sometime in the 1980s. Then this band (the Cardiacs) started playing. I was gob smackes. The sound they produced was just so unlike anything I had heard before, so unlike the other music of the time. I have not been to that many pop / rock concerts, but this was probably the best one I have ever been to. Entertaining, lots of inventiveness and creativity.

IF you are going to make a band that puts out brilliant music - watch , learn and do it not to make money but just bring beautiful music to people - too little of that nowadays

The promo people dropped the ball on this band, their record company should have pushed these guys every chance they had, but instead they were left out in the weather, just like the video. If they had a little more promotion the history of rock n roll would be a little different. It is a shame they did not get to the ears of all the people who needed to hear them

A fantastic band. The fact the lead singer of Cardiacs died of a heart attack at only 59 seems like one of those strange tragic ironies of life that make me think we are either living in a simulation or god has a weird sense of humour.

Just like Otis dying in The Dock of a Bay, George Michael dying on Christmas Day, Prince in an elevator. It makes me wonder if Tim pissed anybody off in the music industry!
