I believe this is remastered Spotify would have to pay again to get a remastered version. After 20yrs a band can remaster their work & earn the $ from it, instead of going to a record company
We didn't have the word Nonbinary. We had the Violent Femmes. We had David Bowie, Joan Jett, and Annie Lennox singing Sweet Dreams. It's only in my midlife that I have managed to pull back that shadow and be in that bittersweet remembering. Pluto has me picking scabs again, but this time I have joy too.
Back then it was punk, giving the middle finger to societal norms & true freedom of expression in art. Now it's it's just a bunch of confused preteens copy cating each other because they need a hug.
you might have heard this one - ua-cam.com/video/j2JE9KqZ47M/v-deo.html (I believe it's the original album version)... I prefer the version above, personally
You can find this version on the Greatest Hits package “Add It Up 1981-1993”. I agree, this version is much cooler than the one released on “The Blind Leading the Naked”.
Sweet. This video was on UA-cam before, but it was super shitty quality. Not a great video either way, unfortunately. But it's one of my favorite songs from VF. It was written for a movie that never got made, I believe. Funny because it sounds like a song made for a movie. You could almost think a modern AI made it today based on the 80s Femmes style if they hadn't done it in the 80s.

Most Wisconsin looking man alive what a legend
Easily one of the most underrated bands of the 80s and 90s. IMO no 80s playlist is complete without some Femmes and Boingo.
Couldn’t agree more! Is there anything better than VF or Boingo live!?
@@russburton725 Gotta throw some Pixies in there...
This song just hits right. Everything the Femmes do better than anyone. One happy, sad, dark perfect blend.
I'm glad they put this back on here.
August 16th, 2025! Seeing them live at Riverfest in Elora. ONTARIO!!
this song has always been one of my favorite, glad to know there was a video to go along with it!
I saw them last night! Still AMAZING!!!!!
Brilliant
Awesome - great band
There should be a new category of likes for this song.
I can remember all three Australian gigs I attended First was Byron bay at 19 I'm 52
why does this sound so much better than the ones on spotify I hate that
I believe this is remastered

Love this song 🥰🥰
GOD I LOVED SPIT ((((((
Yay!
Can’t wait for the Denver show!!!
Trying to get friends to go to Boston show in the fall. Saw them at Bucknell University in college in the 90's!
Reminds me of the pre-social media optimistic world.

And Sinéad O'Connor, rest in peace. I remembered this comment, and had to seek it out.
Don't forget "Androgynous," The Replacements.
Nonbinary people have been around waaaaayy longer, since at least the 1700s.

this audio recording seems slightly different from the album version I'm familiar with

@@davedarling6512same actually. This one just seems so much more fun
Definitively this is NOT the same recording made for their 3rd record. It sounds much better!!!

Super cool to learn this! I've always thought it sounds like an 80s show intro
silly and/or goofy group name
awesome and/or badass musical output
Corny and/or unoriginal comment. But thanks for listening.
