- The original version, featuring a little girl (reportedly named Sylwia) in punk garb leading three business suit-clad men in the destruction of various musical instruments.
- DIGI DADA "Songs of the Earth" is a compilation of a four-part surreal Video-Art. Created for classical music masterpieces composed by Gustav Mahler, Leos Janacek, Bela Bartok, and Arnold Schoenberg performed by Kent Nagano, and the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra in Germany. Filmed in Arizona at Gila Monster Studios and on location. In all four pieces, we see playing with time, dance, space, and time-shifting. Bartok is the cinematic "pas de deux" of a contemporary dance performed by two dancers, kind of a poetic interpretation of a human connection with the earth. SHE and HE dance their hearts out to bring some rain to the thirsty desert. Their performance is to varying degrees accelerated and time-shifted. Paradoxically, the distorted dance of these characters is also synchronized with the music, but in a different way. In order to achieve this effect, special computer software was created for measuring differences in the volume and intensity of the recorded music and converting them into the time shift seen in the film's images. All the effects seen in Schoenberg and Mahler videos involved lots of coding as well.
- Original music video "Diana D", performing by Chuck Mangione.
- The title track was the first single and only got a small amount of attention. Unfortunate because it's one of the catchiest pieces of dance pop from the 80's. The song tells the story of Rena Devere, a Hollywood starlet tempted into the dark, hedonistic side of the celebrity industry who is found dead from an overdose. The song typifies the overindulgence of the 80's both in lyric and in the video.
