A few years ago, dim memories of this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BDLcutLekU) drove me to buy Tracey Ullman's Greatest Hits.
That woman has more talent in her little finger than any three pop stars combined. It's unfortunate that there aren't many roles for female character actors. I see she's going to have a new show on Showtime this year--yay!
They must've had a blast dressing up for that video.
I know she had her own show for a few years on cable, but then she seemed to fall off the map. A new show? Might be enough to get me to spring for the premium channels. I've been avoiding them so far because I really don't need more TV in my life.
My best friend and I used to leave school and hurry to her house so we could watch MTV. Mostly, so we could catch Duran Duran and Van Halen videos. I totally forgot Tracey Ullman sang

Great voice, too.
Here, dear--I'll help you with your shawl if you help me with mine...
