Review: This is one of XTC's first successful singles, and Colin Moulding's first, and kind of, um, a lousy song. It's another one that's catchy, but also a little dumb. I like the rhythms on it, but it's not nearly as complex as, say, the briliant "Making Plans For Nigel". Also, the video for this one is TERRIBLE. Granted, a lot of XTC videos were terrible, but this one especially so. Man. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
