Love and understanding, it was written with Nick Lowe's
What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding,
of course, in mind, and just sort of saying,
yeah, I agree 100% with that.
Like, why are people's priorities so misaligned?
I remember doing the video the most because-
Yeah, that was good.
Because we worked with this fella,
he had all, it was, we're gonna do all these things
behind blue screen, and he was gonna put
all this computer animation, and it was really
the most remarkable presentation to us.
He got us in bathing suits, like these ridiculous
[E] 20s bathing suits, and we were swimming on discs,
and I just remember the gathering of all these crazy
images and things that we were supposed to do,
and ultimately, he kind of ran out of money,
so it didn't end up being all that he wanted it to be,
but still, it's a pretty, I don't know,
it's a pretty imaginative video.
