The Wonder Stuff weren't taken very seriously when they started out, and really, they have only themselves to blame for that, with song titles like "It's Yer Money I'm After Baby" and "Give Give Give Me More More More". They weren't always so crass, though - their debut album The Eight Legged Groove Machine did contain a number of decent straightforward pop-rock tunes and even sometimes surprisingly tender lyrics, as on this song which is really quite lovely, lyrically speaking.
The video's a bit ahead of its time too - if I didn't know I would have pegged it as early '90s rather than 1988.
