I Want to Dive Into Your Ocean

It's creepy video camera stalker Dave Stewart following a creepy orange-haired Annie Lennox in a white nightgown. That's right, it's the Eurythmics with one of their top 10 hits from 1983. I did love the scenery in the video though so I had to look it up to discover that the beginning shot was that of a 450 foot sea stack called "Old Man Hoy" on the island of Hoy, in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Get ready, because "Here Comes the Rain Again"...
