I just watched this video again after hearing someone on another video mention Arthur Lee/Love. IT DID drive me to tears in euphoria! The imagery and beautiful song, combined with remembering when it came out while I was in high school. Hearing it on KROQ in L.A. and seeing the video repeatedly on MTV, Seeing the Damned LIVE soon after promoting this album. It’s how I discovered The Damned. I knew of The Sex Pistols and the Dead Kennedys and other early punk greats but not this amazing historic band, YET! Turned out I’d heard some of their songs before but didn’t know it was them. Still remember proudly wearing my prized Damned concert shirt I bought at the show, all during the rest of high school. Had to retire it early so it wouldn’t melt away like memories do sometimes. I still have it in a box of mid 80’s early 90’s concert shirts. It’s obvious now why I get goosebumps hearing this song and tense up and sometimes tear up just before the trumpet solo. This song has a direct line to my youth. DAMN! over 30 years ago. 😢

I am so glad youth can find and enjoy music like this. I lost and wasted so much time. I love that if I can remember just a little bit I stand a chance at living a moment I let go by.

The Damned remind us about something we tend to forget - punk rockers of the 70s did not grow up listening to punk, they were influenced by bands such as Love, and probably a lot of others that would have never spoke their name in the light of day for fear of being laughed at. Punk rockers at that time were awfully fascist in their attitudes about music. It's no surprise this came out in the late 80s, as opposed to the late 70s, when a lot of their fans would not have got it. Damned fine version Love it.

@Robert Michael Do you have a source or know anything about whether this was intended or in any way a conscious choice? When pointed out it can be hear quite clearly. I work at a music museum and we're setting up an exhibition about Beethoven this winter. This kind of appropriating of his work in "modern" music is exactly the kind of thing the exhibition is about.

***** I have listened to that original, i saw it mentioned in the comments a while back and had never heard it. I like it. I am one of those people who usually prefer a version i have listened to many times (not good, but true), having said that, if i had heard the original first it would probably be the other way round. :-)

I'm too young for the 60s... heck, I'm barely old enough to remember the 80s... You can hate on this song all you want, but if it weren't for The Damned covering this song I would have never heard of this song or the band Love. Either version, to me it's a beautiful song, so I'm glad the Damned introduced it to the generation of my youth.

Hmmm that’s a tough one, it’s one of Gerard De Thame’s earliest videos. Definitely has a surreal quality to it. Seems he was using the juxtaposition of man made machines with various organic things. The 18 wheeler with the spinning dancer, the Arabian horse and rider with the motor cycle, the band members near the dead tree with the swooping bi-plane.
