      It has a kind of nursery-rhyme quality to it...both the music (with that funky piano riff) and the lyrics. He really sounds like he's inventing the lyrics just before singing them...very funny and irresistible song! 😄

    Reminds me of May 1991, I'd been away for two weeks and upon my return found that my Dad had bought 'Sky TV' - prior to that we only had 4 channels on British television, 5 if you could speak Welsh (S4C) - all of a sudden we had the amazing MTV Europe and this song and REM's 'Losing my Religion' were played daily... still love them both now

    • @RisforRockit

      I always felt it has a kind of nursery rhyme quality - the drums and that´jaunty piano hook - but especially in how the lyrics sound like he's just singing whatever flies into his mind at the moment, in order to get a rhyme : "The Light of Love, it shines so bright / that the FBI won't sleep tonight" and so on. 😃

    One of the most underrated albums of the 90,s this was in our car for a good couple of years. The first song me eldest who was 2 at the time learned the words to. "Sex and lies cant bring me down" - how prophetic.

    Also wir "kinder" die die musik der 70er 80er und 90er voll mitbekommen habe (BJ 1966) haben echt Glück gehabt. Tolle Musik / Bands damals. OMD war grandios

    Wow I haven't heard this song since I was 9, it used to play on MTV all the time way back in '91.
