Retro Video of the Week: "Divine Thing" by The Soup Dragons

Tomorrow marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Scottish alt rockers The Soup Dragons' third studio album, Hotwired.  The Soup Dragons had a string of UK indie rock hits between 1986 and 1900, charting 12 Top 6 hits on the UK Indie charts, including their cover of The Rolling Stones' " I'm Free," which was a #5 hit on the UK pop chart.  

In the U.S., their biggest hit was "Divine Thing" from Hotwired, which reached #35 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as #3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, #17 on the Billboard Dance Tracks chart, and #24 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.  It's an infectious alt pop rock song, with slide guitar and a singalong chorus.  And it speaks to a universal truth.  Sometimes you could have sworn a woman was an angel, but it turns out those hips and lips could have tricked any fool, and she's the devil dressed like a sweet sweet sweet divine thing.
