Review: One of the other singles from this record and a pretty good one. The video's kinda dippy, but, well, XTC doesn't have too many good videos, The Road To Oranges & Lemons excepted. If I recall, it's a video that Andy Partridge is particularly annoyed with, too. A lot of people seem to list this song as "The Difappointed", because on the artwork, an old-style font is used, where lower-case "s" look somewhat like lowercase "f"s minus the cross-bar, and I think that's one of those things people don't necessarily know about. But, um, yeah. That's an S. Hooray! - Rev. Syung Myung Me
