This song with Erasure was one jaw dropping performance when I first saw them live doing it on TV back in the mid 80's. I remember Andy Bell was in apparently the same pants , some kind of all-rubber dress, dancing in a water filled kind of bay on stage. Apparently they used that setup at times. I don't see that in this particular video though.
Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Saying that this is your "favorite erasure song" is like claiming a favorite torture device used by your kidnapper.

Those who disagree with me bring up some very good points. For those worried about a loss of rights/freedom, it's our duty to always be vigilant wehether at war or not.

This particular enemy has already made his decision about how to wage war, and it is that all life is worthless, including his own. Muslims kill more Muslims than American soldiers. They torture their own not for intel but for the glory of Allah, Muslim women are virtual slaves, young girls are treated like cattle.

The "rights" of a terrorist without a country, willing to blow himself up (a painless vaporization) aren't worth worrying about, he's already made his choice. These fanatics can't be bribed, coerced or made to fear consequences. They cannot be "understood" to the point they stop, and they certainly can't be reasoned with. So, they should pray they're never captured and hope for a quick erasure instead.

9-11 proved how far the enemy is willing to go, and it's all the way. They deserve no less from us.

Torture methods probably won't be used as much as you think, whether or not condoned. There's more important things to be concerned with.

I'm glad you like it, issykitty. It's my favorite Erasure tune too.

That's funny you say that, rougy. My boyfriend thought the reverse; when he heard Yaz he told me that he thought it was Andy Bell singing all along, instead of Alison. HA!

Oh, and kronosposeidon, I remember the first time I had seen or heard of Erasure was when they opened for Duran Duran, and this was my first and most favorite song of theirs. Thanks so much for posting this!
