Try this again. I don't like the video, just the song. The original was done by Tears for Fears in the 80's..

Song is annoying as shit. I want to smash my TV everytime that commerical comes on now, it plays like 20x an hour.

And for a VIDEO GAME? So over dramatic.

I love Tears for fears...sowing the seeds of love is one of the greatest rock songs ever written. Elmo should do a cover of that one.

Tesco, who was the cat that sand World Shut Your Mouth? Wasn't his name Julian or Jules or some chick name? He used to date this girl I worked with and I'd get on the phone and tell him he sucked. He'd just laugh.

Yea I love that song and the commercial.

I think it is one of the best, if not the best, video game commercial Ive ever seen.

Julian Cope. i googled him. looks like he wasnt such a bad guy afterall.

He was in One of the more influential bands of the late '70s (the teardrop explodes), the group delivered a volatile mix of neo-psychedelic rock and electro-pop. As the band's success grew, so did Cope's reputation for debauchery, resulting in erratic, drug-addled stage behavior that occasionally led to bloodletting.

By 1984, Cope's love of hallucinogenics — as well as a toy car collection that occupied nearly an entire year of his life — was at an all-time high. Despite his altered state, he released World Shut You Mouth, his solo debut on Mercury Records

I thought it sounded like Stipe too. But it's one of my favorite songs this year. It's even better than the Tears for Fears version. Theirs is too fast.

I'll have to rent Donnie Darko. The previews looked kind of good and then I lost sight of the movie.

I also agree that it's overly dramatic for a video game.

I want to have this song sung at my funeral.

It's the perfect song to listen to while looking at your Jessica Biel photos.

I like to listen to it after I've smoked some good bud and am playing the mp3 in Windows Media Player with all the psychedelic lights.

Thats was actually the Xmas number 1 chart song in the UK a few years ago - the Samaritans must have been fielding a lot of calls that holiday season, most depressing xmas no 1 since Mr Blobby:Sad Face:
