So I had to listen. It still doesn't ring a bell from this other Flock Of Seagulls '80s band. They do have that big arena sound of those days.

That's a bizarre video from the lost era of MTV. I'm still not sure what they were saying, but maybe they found some Revolutionary War enactors to film, and since they were volunteers it saved some money.

Is that Robert Smith of The Cure? hahaha
