I hate America. And Tamborine. If they were replaced with anything else, Around the World..... would be almost perfect. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

How eerie is that, I was just listening to America, I love it, Around the World in a Day is a fav of mine from that album as well | |

What's more is the video. There is a longer version of the video out there but rarely seen. The longer version of the video was released on laser disc. Who remembers that?

Klick WHat kind of video was that? Never seen it. Ah, Per Nilsen answered my question; the video clip for America is not a video of the actual album or extended version, but a live version played in France of 10 minutes or so. Thank you, Mr Nilsen |

It's....Let me touch your body till your river's in motion... America, I like it. I would love to see the video- I don't remember ever seeing it back in the day! Somebody help me out! No, Tame- it actually is "let me touch your body til your river's an ocean", although I thought it was your version too, for a long time. we're like two petals from the same flower, baby... | |

the 12" of america is GREAT driving music if you're tooling around on country roads. | |

It starts getting trite after the 14 minute mark. Same goes for Love Bizzare. NOw I can normally listen to an opus of his not a problem. SOme of his longer songs like Crystal Ball, The War, Computer blue at least have interesting bits thrown in or change it up a bit as it goes along. I find when he gets into the Fraire a Jacque part it's pretty much time to stop the song. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Klick Now the video is a whole other topic. That version can go one forever and I would not tire of it. "Singing the soul sister!"  Christian Zombie Vampires | |
