"We don't break up now as much as we used to"

This clip for When the World is Running Down by The Police has been sustaining my life, I cannot stop thinking about it for more than 10 secs tops.
For these reasons

-The funky music gahd I love this song
-A shot of the band in Speedos striding from the sun drenched Ocean in a triangle like Aquatic Gods (at least in their own minds) 
-Idyllic natural beauty 
-The persistant triangular theme
-Trolley cars in the sky *squee*
-Hi-jinks of questionable safety on a balcony
-Sting picking up Andy bodily and nearly throwing him off said balcony
-Sting and Stewart shoving one another like children and Andy intervening in peace like a mum
-Andy's lame dancing and Stewarts's sand kicking dancing 
-Sting's shagging the bass face DO NOT WANT!!!
-The bit at the end where Andy whirls around in a black jacket holding his sunglasses up cos he looks like sex 
ANDY ANDY throughout the whole live part.....!!! I need more Andy slash like noooow

Oh Andy Summers I want your babies bb, he's just so funny he's one of those people always trying to be funny and gah I love that in a person...

Current thing making me lol into a coma is the video for "I Advance Masked" which was a single he did with fellow guitarist Robert Fripp.

The basic components of it are

A pink room full of scantily clad, v attractive Asian models flouncing around with veils/dressed in sheets like twats. Fripp and Summers sitting in their midst in all their dour middle aged glory (wearing dickie bow ties no less) miming/playing their guitars with utter disinterest in all the WTF dancing going on around them, occasionally passing one another and the camera quizzical looks as if they don't know they are being filmed

Its all a bit mad...and be warned that all this before the masks come out!!! :( LOL

The video is here if you wanted to watch it although I have given a sufficient enough word picture above for you to never have to see it really, I wouldn't want the masks to scar you for life too.

To me the vid has to be a carefully sculpted joke or pisstake of something, surely...
