Top Comments of this video!! :3
Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band co-wrote this and is doing some backing vocals! Which is rather fitting as he is a preacher's son.
I just learned this as I was reading about him, after looking to see if Robert Palmer ever covered his band's song, You Dropped the Bomb On Me. I was looking, cuz it sounds like something Robert Palmer would do! He didn't cover it, but he did give Charlie's '82 song Early in The Morning a second Go Round. (Similar rhythms in the songs.) I tell you, considering one is black and one is white, their phrasings and styles are so close to each other. Also: Both sexy. I like the Robert Palmer version better, but probably mostly because The Gap Band put an annoying clap track on their version, and it's a tad too intrusive.
I'm a huge Annie Lennox Fan. And Dave Stewart! Been recently checking out an album he produced, for an artist he discovered, Thomas Lindsey. Songs like Another Lie. Storm Came. I Know How You Feel. Amitie. (on Spotify) A remarkable voice and range. Give some songs 2 listens. They grow. Yes, that is a man singing!

Well I passed you by this morning
You were stumblin down the street
And by the look upon your face
I could tell you wasn't
Feeling too sweet
You dropped down to the bottom
That's what you gone and did
Livin in a bad dream
Finally flipped your lid
Well, superman I've got news for you
And everybody else that's listen in' too
There's a new way out if yer ready to hear
We're gonna make it clear
What we need is revival yeah!
Revival Woohoo
Are are are Revival
Revival yeah
Look at that girl
She's the saddest thing you've ever seen
Washed up and faded
Like a dirty old pair of jeans
She's running round in circles
But she don't have a single friend
Looks like her own bitterness
Has twisted her till the end
Well, Mona Lisa look me in the eye
And tell me when you're gonna get satisfied
I'm gonna spell it out in front of you
This is what you have to do
Get ready for revival!
Revival
Are are are Revival Yeah
Revival (repeat: x5)
R.E.V.I.V.A.L.
It's gonna lift you right up
From your prison cell
Play it out loud
Like a ringing bell
You go R.E.V.I.V.A.L.
Revival

I'm sorry but i don't get those bashing this video .........For pity's sake let them have fun it's an upbeat song not every video has to be so serious or meaningful sometimes it's great to just see a bunch of dancing like a party for your soul . The songs got a great beat i did not even know this song existed i just found it and stumbled upon this video . Love the song and video as for all you critics lighten up over the years they have made some great videos allow them to just go wild and have some fun for a change .

Fun to see this video 24 years after the making of .this is my hand painting the last touch on the matte painting I made during the nite on the set with the space lights and the camera as companions. To be ready for the shooting at dawn.I remember Dave playing for us as a(very happy) few some covers from the Beatles it was a great moment of simplicity and friendship : so rare in this business. Thanks Dave . Recorded in Stains studios France .
