      There is an interview with her somewhere on RUclips where she tells the story of how it happened. The face she pulls when she explains that someone called her to be in the song and videoclip singing the main lyrics of a Eurodance-act song, and she said "Are you sure you have the correct number?" :P (Also interesting to know that she had not been the first choice when it came to the artist, and that the KLF came to her was merely because their first artist of choice refused the request, but can't remember who it was).

      Bobby Tate Hi, my friend, I just had to comment upon your own comment. I recall this song from the 1990's, but never before saw the video until today (I tend to procrastinate, lol). But I was struck by the fusion and mix of styles as well, and when you made mention of Jesus Christ, take note of the wicker man burning at 1:18. I was immediately reminded of the 1973 "Wicker Man" film wherein Edward Woodward screams out, "Oh, Jesus Christ!" Hope this tiny tid-bit adds to the fun of this clip!

      @@jojo-xu4iz rightfully so i think. This is one of a few songs i would have prayed for them to play on the radio.

    Fishin' in the river of life since 1991, and still going strong, the track still rocks.

    Even my dearly departed Grandmother (on mother's side) LOVED this song. Think of you always Audrey.

    When I was a kid, we didn't have MTV (or Internet of course) at home in the town I lived in Finland. Then our building got satellite system where I could see both European and US MTV. These songs I saw from KLF there were one of my total favourites, and they still are. Some of my other teenage favourites haven't fared so well.
    Another thing I love about this song that another younger female singer/dancer and her dance. It's a bit weird this kind of details can stuck to you after decades.:D
    I recommend everyone who likes KLF to read the book "The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band who Burned a Million Pounds", it's a really good book.

    I definitely did not appreciate this enough in the 90s. This rocks.

      Y'all sound like a bunch of Depression generation folks talking about the old days. I say this with affection as they are my parents' generation that gave us Big Band music that my daughter is crazy about.

    Goddamn, it still slaps so hard. And you gotta love how the producer was only joking when he said they should get Tammy Wynette but they went and did it and she was such a legend for saying yes.

    I am SO Pleased that not one person has disliked the KLF & Miss Tammy as, it is one of the best music videos in the history of music videos. So good to see Tammy Wynette singing & enjoying herself. RIP Miss Tammy.

    Tammy Wynette’s voice in here was a stroke of genius. Stand by your Moo Moo Land which is no doubt a reference to the lost continent of Mu sunk in the Pacific Ocean. This was their national anthem. 😊

    I’m here in 2021. I was in 7th grade when this came out. 30 years later it still resonates and we need a powerful anthem like this more than ever. They’re justified and they’re ancient. That’s all.

    I saw this on MTV back in the day and it floored me. Bought the CD. Tammy did us a solid with this one.
