AFA the video goes ... I think, particularly given that particular oft-used setting where it's filmed, "Dad's a Hollywood Stunt Man" ... is about as deep a concept as the video is meant to convey ...

I'd wish for a better vid but they were nobodies when this song was released, just some random 21-year-olds from the UK. But the singer ... is something special.

Because like I say, this was their debut, and they were just YOUNG, random UK kids at the time ... nobody probably wanted to invest much ... yet.

But as you can see from the view count if you go to Youtube ... and then see how big their sophomore album was (overall I'd say it's a better record, though no single song is better than this one) ... the record company probably should've had a bit more faith
