I am currently watching Hitchcock's "Suspicion" and Joan Fontaine has a line of dialogue where she says "What on earth are you talking about" and it triggered CHAMELEONS right away. This lead me to a google search and sonofabitch I was wrong it came from this film instead!
I saw them (Chameleons Vox) at the Woolly Mammoth in Brisbane on the 11th of Jan 2018. Been a fan since I first heard them of the John Peel show as a teenager back in Scotland. Never got to see them live until now. They opened the set with that sample launching straight into Don't Fall. Talk about tingles!!
Hiding inside a room that's running red The place to be exists only in your head In the focus of fear within the creases of a dress, a female dress How did I come to be drowning in this mess Ah, fucking mess
So we now know those immortal words were spoken by Peter Lawford (as Lawrence Tyburt Patterson Jr) and Nella Walker (as his mother, Mrs. Ella Patterson).. :)
There is the line "What on earth are you talking about" spoken by Ruth Hussey to Ray Milland in the 1944 film The Uninvited which sounds exactly the same I must say. A scene upstairs in the house about half an hour into the film. I always thought it was partly from there, but obviously not.

I love how the internet has the ability to solve the same ridiculous question all of us Chameleons fans have had for 30+ years.
WOW PREACH!

Ditto for Gang of Four's "We live as we dream alone"
I have found the answer and the folk
Birdy brought me here!
The director of this film blew it. That line definitely needs guitar after it.
The Chameleons reference?
Doooooooon't faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall
You beat me to it lol...great band.
Beat me by 7 years
I love how everyone here is a Chameleons fan.

Damn I listened to this so many times back in the day and now it's MY autumn before the winter. FML!
The opener to a fabulous album & much head scratching over now for me too! ;)
It must have been for you like running up the down escalator.
I remember seeing this on AMC in the 80s and nearly fainting because of "Don't Fall."
PRISONERS OF THE SUN.. "I don't want to go to college"... Heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat....

How did I come to be drowning in this mess
Ah, fucking mess
Just some advice for anyone reading this: *Don't fall.*
Thank god I can now know where those words from 'Don't Fall' were spoken !
YESSS !
I have to admit it took me a while to find the sample. The others from Prisoners of the Sun next! ;)
Hurray!! Only took 27 years to find.... :)
33 for me

Later a member of Sinatra's "Rat Pack" haha
Quality. World Class.
just found this thanks for answering a question i have had since i was15
I remember this from the Chameleons.
I bought this album on vinyl and it took me this long to find the source
This is cute and Peter was gorgeous!
The Chameleons - Prisoners of the Sun
Wow! I allways wondered where that came from. nice!
Strange times!!!!!
Don't Fall!!!
The Chameleons brought me here!
Found you! now i can rest eternally..
'Cause you follow in order to lead.

The phrase 'what on earth are you talking about?' is quite common. I say it every time I hear Donald Trump speak.
The Chameleons " D'ont fall.."
Well found
Cue awesome guitar intro...
You should put this as a video response to one of the don't fall videos. =]
Well done!
DON'T FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!
Wow, what a find! Its strange how, in its original setting, it seems completely out of place.
The Chameleons!!! wooooooooooooo!!
@guyfromnewcastle It's just not the same without the mad intro!
We are all chameleons

DOOOOOON'T FAAAAAAAALL
DON'T FALL ⚡
@mrschamfan
good idea, I will!
'I don't want to go to college'...
melt - way out west
Aha..so he was quoting Sophocles..
on the same theme, anyone know where the dialogue comes from on the Prisoners of the Sun track??
'I don't want to go to college..'.... Yeah I wanna know too!
So.. It was a quote from Socrates...
No, Sophocles. So-crates was another chap in bill and ted's excellent adventure :)
Dooooooooooooooont faaaaaaaaall
But what does the phrase mean?
It refers to men who, past middle-age, try to reclaim their youth. AKA a mid-life crisis.
Terrible translation in subtitle mode!
@forkliftkiller haha, i was just going to say that
