While doing some research on the clown in my Avatar (I never did see the movie and Steven King never did "it":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDEd14_NUo for me) I found an odd video incorporating this song of which I haven't heard in probably 20 years. "by Chris Woodstra for allmusic.com":http://wm10.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:0xfexqlgldse~T1Phil Judd was a founding member and major creative force behind the early incarnation of Split Enz. Judd left the band in February of 1977, rejoining a year later, only to leave shortly after, finding himself unable to fit into the new direction of the band. In June of 1978, he joined the New Zealand punk band Suburban Reptiles as a part-time member. When the band broke up a couple of months later, he had a short stint with the legendary Enemy (who later became Toy Love).Obviously inspired by the punk movement, Judd left behind all of the art excesses he had become know for in Split Enz and formed Swingers in late 1978, a no-frills, no-image, straightforward power trio, with Dwayne "Bones" Hillman (bass) and Buster Stiggs (drums) -- both formerly of Suburban Reptiles.
