Review: General Notes: Another Colin Moulding single to be a pretty big hit, both over here and in the UK, this is one of the few XTC songs I've heard on the radio. (Oddly enough, I still haven't heard "Dear God" on the radio here.) The video for this one is OK—it's got XTC as waiters for a bunch of generals and majors planning a war, and then they play in a bouncy castle while the G&M go racing in go-carts. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
