We have a compilation of "grown-up songs" for kids (appropriately titled "Music for Little Hipsters") that features this song, stripped bare of its biting sarcasm through context. It sits alongside tunes from The Beach Boys, Devendra Banhart, and others. Through the magic of exposure through repetition, Abigail and Fiona now *demand* to hear this when driving to pre-school in the morning. You've gotta teach those young spuds about Devolution early! Mission accomplished.
Virgin Germany, 1982

Thanks for all your wonderful jams and musical comraderie.
It really is a Beautiful World we live in.

As usual, the douches at WMG have blocked the use of the original video, so here's a rather cool, fan-updated one with your classic electronic pop goodness.
A sweet romantic place.
