I don't know if anyone else has already commented on this, but if you listen to the studio version, you get an idea of where Fred S. of the B-52's got some of his vocal stylings...

Kind of song you want to go on and on too. Stella performance as well.

In the early days, Ferry and the guys were quite theatrical in their appearance and clothing. Ferry's green suit, red suit, military uniforms, thin moustache, etc., were part of the show they wanted to present at that time. There is an avante garde aspect to his work and this came out in some of his songs and in his stage persona.

I love Ferry, but he looks like Hitler in this video!

Outstanding. I don't have this number on my cd's, so there must be some vinyl somewhere, because I remember all the lyrics...greetings (like "remake remodel", also very much.....

i first heard this in slc punk

Yes, the song is about cocaine. In an article or interview the writer stated that Ferry was once addicted to cocaine. Ferry notified the publisher that he was never an addict and a correction was printed. What other rock star would insist on this addendum? Ferry is an unusual fellow. So far as I can tell, he was never arrested for drugs, never bagged a perforamnce or interview because inebriated, and never spent time in rehab. So he seems to have avoided the pitfalls of the glam life.
