http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-ha

A-ha's second single was "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.". In the U.S., the song peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number seventeen   more...on Radio & Records airplay chart. In addition, the music video for the song won in two categories at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.

A-ha's American success culminated in their 1986 Grammy nomination in a coveted Best New Artist category which was eventually won by Sade.

"The Sun Always Shines on TV" turned out to be a-ha's last Billboard Top 40 single, and to this day in the United States a-ha is remembered by the general public almost entirely because of the singularly huge success of "Take on Me". As such, the band is frequently considered there as a one-hit wonder. In the UK (and much of the rest of the world), however, the story was very different: "The Sun Always Shines on TV" was an even bigger hit among British fans than "Take on Me", peaking at number one. In Australia, as in the UK, a-ha had continued success with "The Sun Always Shines on TV" and were consistently popular throughout the 1980s.

"Land of Confusion" is a rock song written by the band Genesis for their 1986 album Invisible Touch. The song was the third track on the album and was the fourth track from the album to become   more...a single. The music was written by the band, while the lyrics were written by guitarist Mike Rutherford. The lyrics, further emphasized by the music video, discuss the greed and uncertainty of the Cold War-era 1980s, but evoke a sense of hope for the future. The song is remembered by many Genesis fans because of its video, which featured puppets from the 1980s UK sketch show, Spitting Image.

The song is widely remembered for its music video, which had heavy airplay on MTV. The video actually drew controversy for its portrayal of Ronald Reagan as being physically and cognitively inept. The video features puppets by the British television show Spitting Image. After Phil Collins saw a disfigured version of himself on the show, he commissioned the show's creators, Peter Fluck and Roger Law, to create puppets of the entire band, as well as all the characters in the video.
The video, directed by John Lloyd  less

From Wikipedia:

The lyrics seem to contradict each other from verse to verse, as the song begins with the ending of a frustrating relationship, followed by the upbeat celebration of a new love, finishing   more...with the regrettable isolation of single life. The ubiquitous desire to "break free" in all such situations indicates that wherever love is involved, contentment is not.

Shiny Shiny Lyrics

Good times come to me now
good times come to me now.
I ain't lying 'cos there ain't no time
no city.
It's a pity 'cos I dress divine
city smokes - people choke.
Big meanie he's a genie und   more...we ain't got a hope.
No chance - no chance.
Well
I feel fine
no it ain't no crime.
I was dreamin' of a demon and I ate a dime.
The dime floats
the colonel boasts -
Send 'em up the hill boys, this ain't no joke

No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.
Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny sha-na-na-na.
Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Your sure look fine your shoes they shine.
I taste your face your love is mine

Mercury dan with a spikey hand.
I'm a hot retard
Marquis de Sade.
No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.
Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Saw a cop on the line
machine gun shine.
I was dreaming not believing that I was alive.
My mind broke
the cop he choked.
Get out of here, boy, or I'll use the colt

No chance - no chance.
You sure look fine your shoes they shine.
No heat can compete with this blue-eyed liar.
The child spoke - "We ain't got a hope

Press the button
press the button - it's all remote".
No chance - no chance - no chance - no chance.
Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me

Shiny shiny bad times behind me
