The Answer video was directed by one of the funniest guys I know, Kevin Godley, formerly of 10CC, the fantastic British group that recorded "I'm Not In Love".
We shot this in the cold British winter.
I'll never forget it because an upper body cast had to be made for me and I had to wait for it to solidify. Man it was freakin' cold!
Thank the powers I was working with Kevin. He kept me in hysterics during the whole time.

THE ANSWER
Everybody, everywhere, everyone
All around the world
Calling all you people
Calling every boy and girl
You can be everything, anything
You really want to be
But you can't play the victim
Got to put an end
To this self-fulling prophecy
Give it up and kick it out
Lift yourself up and you find the answer
Can't judge another by the color
By the color of his skin
Can't live on the surface
Got to give it from the places within
Ain't no preacher gonna teach us
'Bout the meaning of love
It's up to you and me
To give what we got plenty of
Give it up and kick it out
Lift yourself up just like a dancer
Give it up, pick it up
And keep it up
Lift yourself up and you find the answer
Everybody, everywhere, everyone
All around the world
Calling all you people
Calling every boy and every single girl
You can be everything, anything
You really want to be
And it's right here for you
The answer ain't no great big mystery
Give it up and kick it out
Lift yourself up just like a dancer now
Give it up, pick it up
And keep it up
Lift yourself up and find the answer
