Living In A Box ~ Living In A Box

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

In the mid 80's, there was a local station that only played remixes from maxi singles and this was played a lot. Here's the actual music video with the regular version.

from 1987, when all I did was watch videos. I was living in a box - the television eek

Their followup album in 1989 called "Gatecrashing" was much better then their debut, which "living in the box" comes off, despite it having no success whatsoever in the US.

"Blow the house down" is much better then the song "living in a box" to me. I love Brian May's cheesy guitar solo in it

That's why I didn't put up the music video at 1st. Back then, the remixes were often better than the album versions.
