The video received heavy airplay on MTV and received five nominations at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards. "Missionary Man" earned Eurythmics a 1986 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The single also peaked at number nine in Australia, where it was released as the album's second single. It also made the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play chart, and it received extensive airplay on American rock radio, reaching number one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, Eurythmics' only song to top this chart. It was more successful in the United States, where it was the first single to be taken from the album and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 (their last main US top-20 entry to date). In the band's native United Kingdom, it was the fourth single to be taken from the album and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song features Jimmy Zavala on harmonica and Joniece Jamison on backing vocals. (A "Short" Re." Missionary Man" is a song by British pop duo Eurythmics from their fifth studio album, Revenge (1986). Geri's Game (A "̶S̶h̶o̶r̶t̶"̶ Review/Film Analysis).The animators get creative with the crazy additions both performers have in their one-man bands: Bass has a device which creates over a dozen mini trumpeters (all performing), while Treble can mechanically play ten violins at once. When Bass tries (fruitlessly) to overtake him in pizzazz, Treble briefly head shakes in snobbish disgust, swiftly, yet elegantly, returning to his piece. Treble has artistic arrogance written all over him, believing his musical skills far superior to Bass’ (despite being relatively even in talent). When Bass sees young Tippy about to throw her coin into the fountain, he issues a loud instrumental noise with his one-man band-“wait!”-before two short, yet deeper blows, “come over, come over.” Bass’ facial expression looks pleading, and the viewer can tell he’s in desperate need of money. One Man Band takes it a step further in creativity, using instruments to further illustrate exchanges. The character’s facial features are expressive and detailed, revealing their thoughts through non-verbal communication. The end credits reveal the two performers up all night, vainly trying to reach the coins.Īlongside The Incredibles, One Man Band showcases Pixar’s mastery over animating humans. Tippy proceeds to offer false generosity-two gold coins-to the eager performers, before tossing them into the highest, unreachable part of the fountain.
#ONE MAN BAND 11 PROFESSIONAL#
After some fine-tuning, Tippy begins playing at a professional level, prompting a passing stranger to drop a large bag of gold coins in the iron cup. In a surprisingly dark turn, Tippy furiously demands retribution, taking one of Treble’s violins and Bass’ iron cup. A vicious competition erupts between the two, causing the frightened Tippy to accidentally drop her coin into a drain. Frustrated, Bass one-ups his performance, only for Treble to do the same. Just as Tippy’s about to tip Bass (the genius of Pixar naming), another performer named Treble shows up-playing a superior song which redirects Tippy’s attention (gold coin still in hand). He beckons the girl, named Tippy, over and plays for her-gesturing to an iron cup made for tips.
A street performer named Bass (Pixar bringing back the names) notices a local girl about to drop a gold coin in the town square’s fountain. Creativity thrives throughout One Man Band, with the animators probably having a field day designing all the short’s unique mechanisms and facial designs.
