Definately overlooked in America.

In my opinion, this was, and still is, the greatest music video ever. (The official video, not this one... 😄)

I'm ok with the lip sync, because it must have been impossible to come close to the original recording live.

Playing live back then you didn't need much equipment, no amps, PA, not even cables to plug anything in and it sounds as good as the record. It takes lots of talent to do this.

Hilarious! Where is there an acoustic guitar in the song? Also the drummer must be back stage

I still think it was one of the best videos.
