117: Egg On Your Face and Mud On Your Shoes

117. "Sowing the Seeds of Love" by Tears for Fears {#2; 9/89} [iTunes? Yes] {Video: Sowing the Seeds of Love.}

After making so many disparaging remarks about the looks of the likes of Rik Ocasek, the J. Geils Band, and Slade, I feel I should give credit where credit is due. Roland and Curt from Tears for Fears are a couple of pretty, pretty men!

That's a big chair!

It never really dawned on me how Beatle-esque this song is until a few years ago when I heard a local DJ do a bit of a parody of this song by calling it "Stealing the Beatles Songs." And now, looking at the video, it does have a bit of a trippy, psychedelic feel to it.

"Time to eat all your words. Swallow your pride. Open your eyes."
"The love train rides from coast to coast. Every minute and every hour. I love a sunflower. And I believe in love power."

COMING UP NEXT: Those stars be spangled!
