This vibrant pop video was filmed in 1985 in a disused warehouse, around the King George V Dock area in London, shortly after David Bowie and Mick Jagger were filmed in the docks not far away, Dancing in the Street. Hiding in the shadows was someone who looked to be the spitting image of Pete Townshend, watching out to make sure all was well. It was a great party to be part of . . . and brilliant now to see the end result available on RUclips, nearly 40 years later.
As a teen I would go around record shops and I collected cds, cassettes, and records. One day I was with a friend and I thought i found a rare imported single of the song “ boys don’t cry”by the British band the Cure. When we finally got around to listening to the album later that day, I found out that I was very wrong. The track had pretty much 2 words in the entire song. The Cure My friend busted out laughing when he first heard this. I felt cheated out of my limited funds. It wasn’t funny to me then, but when I think of it now it is hilarious. This was probably in 1988 or 1989.
@@nricha1000 How did you get him to be in the video, Mammoth are so different to Boys Don't Cry, but have to say are both amazing and both should have been huge
@@upfrontbear74 john did a solo album for my own record label called legacy back in 85. we remained friends , he was very happy to do it, as lemmy had done one previously fro me !!
Paul Bradley How can you say their worst song was their only hit? It was a great song! But yes I agree that they seemed to have a lot of really good music that should have gotten more attention! :)
Erica Espinosa , I loved the radio smash hit "I wanna be a cowboy". I just can't find anyone today that is my age or was around back then that can remember it when I ask them. They act like I'm making it up lol.
