I believe that was a Mellancamp video but I don't know the name

of the song.

Director Meiert Avis shot the promotional video in the town of Ostia,

outside Rome on April 18, 1989. Written by Barry Devlin, the video

takes an unusual cinematic approach to the song, with U2 band members

making only brief cameo appearances. The video tells the story of a

dwarf (played by Paolo Risi) who falls in love with a trapeze artist

(played by Paola Rinaldi), one of whom apparently dies towards the

end. While there is disagreement amongst fans about exactly who has

died, The Edge was quoted as saying it is the trapeze artist who dies.

[1] This video pays homage to Fellini, who, synchronistically, was

shooting his last movie, " La Voce Della Luna " only a few miles away

from the U2 set, and also to Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks.[2]

This is indeed a great video! There's another great video featuring

Ponch Moeller but I can't remember the song or video. He falls in love

with a woman who happens to be in a wheel chair. The father objects

but the dwarf carries the girl and couple drive away on a motorcycle

with a side car. Hmmm...got to think...think...think...
