Don't Come Around Here Without A Visual

On their own, some songs just don't do it. Sometimes it takes the magic of a music video to make it, at the very least, interesting.

When I first heard Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' song, "Don't Come Around Here No More," I was rather unmoved. Okay, I hated it, and could not for the life of me understand why someone would care to hear it more than once, yet radio stations kept playing it so MANY someones must have liked it. I just was not among those someones.

MTV eased my confusion, however, and I understood the appeal. The Heartbreakers' unusual take on "Alice in Wonderland" was creepy, captivating, amusing, and, let's face it, it complimented the song.
