  • Paoulo from Victoria. AustraliaI saw the video for Jonnie And Mary many times through my teens without knowing its title or meaning. Turns out it doesn't have much meaning beyond a bored couple. It's quite depressing with its depiction of monotony and almost monotone tune, yet it has a catchy beat and propelling quickness to it. I found many videos of the 80s new romantic era looked cliched with those window blinds and mist to dramatise the lighting.
