My video/song coming in today at #57 features a quirky band with some quirky lyrics, and a quirky video. I just said "quirky" three times in one sentence. Impressive. Notice the crazy silver shades that Holly Knight sports in one of the scenes... very Kayne-like from 2009 don't you think? Her partner in crime in this silly little video is Michael Des Barres and together they go go through some serious wardrobe changes in the form of the duo known as Animotion.

Lyrics | Animotion lyrics - Obsession lyrics

Like A Butterfly, A Wild Butterfly

What's with the Roman soldier outfits and the astronaut in the bed? The only thing that obsesses me about this video is the randomness and the scale of unintentional comedy this video possesses... it's the group known as Animotion with "Obsession"...
