Face Dances Pt. 2 - Pete Townshend

From 1983. [link is the studio version of the song as the soundtrack to a compendium of pics from Ru-Jun's first year, which always amazes us when we look back on it]
This was one of the first videos I ever saw on MTV and the song immediately infected me. Most of it is in 5/4 time, which is pretty rare but works amazingly.  This is a truly progressive song, and yet has all the pop and hard rock instincts that characterize Townshend's entire career.
