IMHO far better than the hit single (Once in a Lifetme) from the Album Remain in Light - Talking Heads Crosseyed and Painless

A few that scream the eighties for me.
Messages - OMD
Reward - Teardrop Explodes
Living on the Ceiling - Blancmange
But if I had to pick one if would be Fade to Grey - Visage

These three loom large in the reckoning:

Never Understand - The Jesus And Mary Chain
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
War Dance - Killing Joke

Any chance of just putting the name of the track and band next to the video, so we don't have to click on the video to find out what it is?
Many thanks

There is a lot of alternative stuff I'd happily list but I think uncle S would struggle with these as pop. I'll offer this - can't find the 12" remix version which is to die for. But this one still has the BEST pop sax break EVER
