Todd Rundgren / Utopia

There's a hammer in my heart

Pounding out your name

There's a hammer in my heart

Here it comes again

I hear a certain sound

And it just won't go away

It sends a message out

What's it gonna be today?

It wakes me up at dawn

And as the day goes on

I try to turn it off but the beat goes on

It never lets me rest

I can't get a minute's peace

I lay awake in bed

Wondering will it ever cease?

It's like a top ten song

I hear it all day long

I try to turn it off but the beat goes on

There was a bar band in the Fargo Moorhead area that did a great cover of this tune - actually there were probably 2-3 that did great covers of it... Mama Coco, Sister Max / Made in America and I think Johnny Holm Band did it too...

This tune deserved far more recognition, must of been a societal frequency jam, a circuitry block in the masses or something. As this tune cranks pretty nice!

Great song ! Does anyone remember a Utopia New Years Eve concert that was broadcast on TV ? I'm guessing this would have been in the early 1980s. I remember seeing it on TV, and hearing the simulcast on WDVE Pittsburgh . . .#mymusichangout

Great to see this rare, old MTV video again! What memories! I'm sure the original picture quality is not very good by today's standards, but are you able to upload in a higher picture resolution? Thanks!

Todd's answer to The Knack's My Sharona. Simple hook- would be fun to play out.

The audio is the studio version edited to a live performance.

The video is perfect- back then videos were "new". The style of this video ( the looping) matches the beat. Utopia was cutting edge. They were the "last" of the NEw Wave Riders. Thanks for posting.

I always thought this video was terrible..... Kind of like something Todd just slapped together, this tune and the video for Bang the drum all day......
