As usual, Nick Seymour over doing it trying to get his mug on screen. The Ringo Starr of Crowded House, without the charm. Was always a mediocre bassist.

Oddly prophetic considering 2007....

Surely, only a fat american could take offence at this? And only then if they didn't have a sense of humour!!Anyway, I don't think Neil Finn is terribly bothered about his status as the world's greatest diplomat being under threat... The New Zealand government nominated him (and Tim), for an OBE for services to music in New Zealand in 1993. He commented that apparently there hadn't been a music industry in New Zealand before he came along. The suggestion being that his government was getting on the bandwagon.

I stayed 3 months in California in summer 1991 and this was the first time I heard Crowded House. Loved the line "the excess of fat on your American bones will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone" :)

I wonder what the Yanks made of this song back then (I love it), it pays out American excess, albeit in a light hearted wayRIP Paul Hestor. :(.

i still believe that this song is why Crowded House didn't make it popular in the States, sad but true. they are spot on, as far as i'm concerned. i went to a local record store last weekend looking for some CH or Split Enz and the manager said, "we don't keep those albums in stock because they don't sell", so i asked, "well you have Hall and Oates vinyl", to which the manager said, "THEY sell!" UGH!! pissed me off because CH's "Chocolate Cake" speaks of much of America's eating it all up

awesome. digging the trippy karaoke vibe. paul hester... the man was a showman. May he rest in peace with some bizarre bongo drums buried next to him. I can't say the same for that guy's blonde mullet. I hope it is in hell.(not the bassplayer - just his hairstyle obv.) hmmm...

Pity they've been forced to rely on Letterman's house band for most of the accompaniment.
