Why I dislike(d) Alphaville

My girlfriend was puzzled why I would turn down the opportunity to see Alphaville play live last year.

Here's the reason why.

Interactive's remix of A-ville's hit track (below) pretty much ruined it for me in the mid '90s.

Warning: do not watch this video. Ever.

(Note: I stumbled across the original track on my iPod, and I have to admit that it does suck less.)
