I always loved this piece as a kid. If for no other reason than the overall feeling I always had of "What the actual fuck". I didn't know how to phrase it at that point, but honestly this is so batshit insane in comparison to the rest of the film that I never really could figure out what to do with it. I miss having a VHS player and I miss my Mind's Eye videos. :[ Thanks for uploading this so long ago.
Awesome! This was always my favorite part and the only number i remembered from the gate to the mind's eye, also for some reason brings back memories of the Hover! cd-rom :]
out of all the songs on Gate to the Mind's Eye, this is my favorite. next to N.E.O., armagedon, and valley of the mind's eye. ^w^ i just love it. too classic.
When I was a kid: This is so cool! Now at 20: WHAT IS THIS- O-OH MY GOD THAT GUY IS MADE OF PAPER! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHY IS THERE A CHICKEN BIRD? WHY ARE THE ROBO PARROTS SINGING? WHATS WITH THE RUBE GOLDBURG?!?! WHY DOES THAT SPINNING WARDROBE HAVE ANTLERS AND CONFETTI AND A PAPER SEX DOLL?!?! WHY DO THEIR BODIES GO PINK?!? WHAT ARE THEY SAYING AT THE END!?!? Ah the joys of growing up.
This was always my favorite segment in the video as a kid. And it still is. XD. I've always loved this song- though I never really understood what was going on. XD.(As a kid, anyway.)
I like the song for being so unusual, particularly to this soundtrack. It was/is a nice, almost comedic break among a lot of surprisingly lovely, atmospheric music. And I adore the Congressional band. Don't know why, but the scene at 1:25 is a lawl every time I see it.
Sally in the song reminds me of my ex-wife... "All she wants is cash!" -- Good, swinging tune, though. From the video album, "The Gate to the Mind's Eye."
I used to love watching this as a kid. We had all of the Mind's Eye animations on laserdisc. I don't know why, but it sounds like they added a whole bunch of cheap sound effects to the remastered versions. Still good, but it's just not the same.
I must have... And I actually prefer the version with less sound effects... and not just because I've been watching that version since I was 9 years old. ^^;
This was my childhood.

this video is so crazy and extra that it's amazing. the peeps who made this sure had a hoot!
LOVE IT wish I still had my tapes. Upload NEO!
This is one of my all-time favorites of the series! Thanks for uploading!
This was always my favorite song when i was a little kid, i would always sing this song.
I had the first three Mind's Eye tapes, and the Dolby one was my favorite, particularly this number. Thanks for the upload.
I think this is easily the best song and segment on the video.

I'm my opinion, "Quantum Mechanics" was great as well.

@ReineSchelmisch Me too! I've been looking for this for years! My dad used to have the vhs and I watched it all the time! Nostalgia!
Oh, yes!!! Thank you!!

2:28 “How to Make a Decision”
What are you talking about?
The dancing Lincoln - freaky, no? :D
No, I LOVE the song! It's completely crazy. Oh, the memories! I have this on tape, but does anybody know if there's a DVD version I could buy?

yes same here
There’s someone saying kick his ass
I went through all the comments to see if anyone else noticed
Yep, you can hear him vaguely saying, “Ha! He’s gonna kick his ass.”
I never noticed that was in the song when I watched this as a kid.
I must have...
And I actually prefer the version with less sound effects... and not just because I've been watching that version since I was 9 years old. ^^;
This seems to have more sound effects than my version... like the motorcycle and such... Weird...
One question. Why did Thomas Dolby dabble in "casino music" for this one? I like everything he's ever done EXCEPT THIS SONG!!!
looks like u got ripped off then
