137. "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears {#3; 9/85} [iTunes? Yes] {YouTube: Head Over Heels}
"I wanted to be with you alone and talk about the weather."
I never really liked Tears for Fears. I didn't dislike them, either. They were just there. I was very indifferent to their first hit, Everybody Wants to Rule the World. I like their next song, Shout, a little bit more, but I didn't love it. And then, this song came out. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but I do. And, as the years have gone by, I like it even more. (You could say "I'm lost in admiration.")
The video is pretty silly and fun, too. Even better, though, is the "literal" video: Head Over Heels (literal video).
One of the best things about Tears for Fears is the dude's name. No, not Curt Smith. The other one. His name is Roland Orzabal. How do you pronounce that? Orza-ball? Oar-Zaa-bull? Oar-zay-bull? I'm not sure. But, any way you look at it, we could use more guys named Roland, couldn't we?
