DON'T COME AROUND
HERE NO MORE |
DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE - 1985
By Tom Petty and Dave Stewart
Performed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Directed by Jeff Stein |
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have two creepily surreal music videos. This one captured all of the inherent threat of its original subject matter.
Jeff Stein, the writer and director behind the documentary on the band, THE WHO, became something of a A-List music video director in the 1980s with Billy Idol's WHITE WEDDING, The Car's YOU MIGHT THINK, and other bands where his Camera-On-A-Rope style and his sense of unpretentious fun made even the most soporific songs fun.
As for the song, inspiration can come from any number of disparate sources and this one song has a pretty convoluted history.
The inspiration for both song and music video came from a twisty conglomeration of Dave Stewart, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Jimmy Iovine, and even Joe Walsh. The song and video has at least two distinctly different histories, so I'll link both here.
