Guilty Pleasures Week (5) -- The Soupcon of Silliness
I'm not sure I ever saw this video back in the day, but it makes me giggle now. That first ABC album is still quite strong, you know. Really.
“We discovered that it was OK to have a little high-brow as long you have a lot of low-brow. That’s entertainment value. The one thing you want to avoid is the middle brow, because the whole world is frigging middle brow at the moment.” – Jon Langford

An even more guilty pleasure might be (given the original controversy) having heard them live last year in Atlanta. There were extenuating circumstances, of course (Naked Eyes was the opening act, and Pete Byrne's a friend), but amazingly, when this song came on, people went wild. They know all the words, all the moves.
The Look of Love was actually the first music video I ever saw on MTV.
