The background colour is the same as the background colour in the Windows 2000 wallpaper - naturally Microsoft own the copyright to that particular shade of blue.

I was puuurfectly happy "lurking" among you cyberbabes until this post! I suppose in veeeerrry witty "English", "pants" means "bollocks". Enough already with the slams of "Cry to Be Found"! I'm sure that I am not the only one on the list who likes CTBF, the Bay City Rollers AND Air Supply! . . . . CTBF is the most poignant, heart wrenching, gut-bustingly beautiful song to come out of the last century! I bet if that song had been shopped around in Nashville, Billy Ray Cyrus would have EATEN it up! Yours in rubber (as in ROOM! you dirty people!)

And I love the video...the gorilla suit thing is just too funny. I'm not going to complain about the cry to be found poster...still waiting for the vanilla flavored one... And I also love Air Supply...saw them in concert less than a month ago (and was pretty much the youngest person there)...Russell hitchcock can't sing like he used to, but he's still pretty good for an old, short guy frm the 80s. They came out into the audience and walked around during and acoustic "The one that you love". Graham russell stood right next to me...my one and only brush with greatness.

It is a song they could've done better that's all, I like it but just not that much compared to their other masterpieces.
