A kicking bass line (from Tony Butler, then playing with Big Country), a cry against suburban sprawl and tight production from Chris Thomas, it's one of the standout songs from 1984's Learning to Crawl. Chrissie Hynde at her best. (The music may be familiar in the U.S. as the theme for Rush Limbaugh's radio program; I wouldn't be inclined to often put Hynde, a notable animal-rights advocate, in the same company with Limbaugh, but there you go.)
As for the video ... this is what a 45 looked like, kids!
Apparently Hynde made Limbaugh donate to PETA for its use.
