	Yes, the words to this tune ARE great. They sum up many "artists'"
prime motivations for making videos, and the 'microwave' references give the
song a nice materialistic edge.  Also, you can hear Sting singing the verse
melody from "Don't Stand So Close To Me" (it's even in the same key!), which
can be interpreted as a put-down of the Police.  This is the most interesting
tune since "Industrial Disease"!
