OK, yes, it's a little overkill on the visuals, especially by the point that Buddhas are followed by Ankhs. But this is still fascinating to watch, with its late '60s revival vibe and its kitchen-sink symbolism. The song is lovely, too. A harbinger of the '90s? No, not really, but it was one of the first indications that the Bush I era of pop culture was going to be tangibly different than the Reagan era. This understandably won Best Breakthrough Video and Best Special Effects at the MTV Music Video Awards, and we can forgive the misspelling of "Daily."
