Someone asked about this one, and I happened to have it on an old tape.

Nonsense, Hine wasn't ripping off Bowie. The concept of this video is totally unlike Ashes to Ashes. The "stillsuit" was bought from a shop in London, the same place Kate Bush bought the ones used in her video for the song The Dreaming.

MTV was to us what the internet etc is to the youth of today. Opened me up to so much new music other than what was on the radio.

I didn't search for it. Maybe you don't know this, but on the side panel Youtube puts videos up that you "might like," based on another video you watched. I don't have hobbies. LOL

So you took the time and trouble to search for it just to slam it? Weird hobby.

Perhaps the worst song and worst video from that era. And there were some awful videos back then. I used to hate when they showed this video.

I'd reason to think this video was directed by David Mallet, the director behind David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" video.

I remember this on MTV. I was in 5th grade and drew a line down Scott Baio's face on DYNAMITE magazine and colered half his face dark and the kid behind my desk knew exactly what I was doing for he saw the video too :) 1981 baby

Rupert Hine is one of the most under-rated artists from the 80s in my view.

I didn't hear this song until 1991, but it blew me away at the time. It still gives me goosebumps.

He never fronted Black Sabbath. You might be thinking of Dave Walker from Savoy Brown.

The same suit Rupert wears here was used by David Bowie in Ashes to Ashes.
