Mystery video
Somebody once suggested that there might have been a video released som time around 1990 paying homage to Jim Jarmusch's 1989 film Mystery Train:
Memory escapes me yet again -- I recall a music video by one of those English dance/rock bands a la Happy Mondays that featured a tribute to the Japanese characters in "Mystery Train." Does anybody else remember this or was I hallucinating?
And recently I stumbled on a blog where somebody else wrote:
To this day I swear I remember seeing a music video for Happy Mondays' "Step On" that recreated the scene with the Japanese tourists in their hotel room (the girl smearing on lipstick and making a mess of her boyfriend's face), but a search of the internets yielded not a singe shred of evidence that such a video ever existed. Did I dream this, or what?(http://blog.allmovie.com/2008/07/11/all-movie-guide-loves-1989/)
Well, I'm happy to report that no, we're not dealing here with a case of collective hallucination:
(This was the US music video accompanying the 1990 Happy Mondays single "Step On", off "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches".)
