Definitely the very first song from Echo & The Bunnymen I ever heard some ages ago and most likely the very first video as well, also a long time ago yet
I always try to find some time to revisit it. Sweeter than anything is "Lips Like Sugar" and in it, the group performs the song while being obscured in the
corner as lead singer Ian McCulloch takes the center stage as a screen shows a giant lips lip-syncing his every movie - hard to tell if it's a female mouth or
Ian himself at some points. During the other half of the video, two mystery space female androids appear as the band members pop out as figures from another
planet.
Like many of their videos shot by Anton Corbijn, there's always a vibrant and curious mixture of elements that echo some vibes from the lyrics and there's also the group performance. This one is interesting mostly because of he does with the cinematography, editing and also the visual from the band. The song is a hit, can't be denied and never gets old. A quality entertainment. 8/10.
