Swear (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Swear" was a 1980s pop song by Tim Scott (McConnell) and released by Sire Records in 1983. The music video to promote the song was a campy/tongue-in-cheek music video of a hippy-based pagan/black mass set in a church. The stylized music video is seemingly a parody of late 1960s to early 1970s hippy horror movies.

A bio [link below] from the Tim Scott (Tim Scott-McConnell) website states with respect to the "Swear" song that: "This was my young and confused record...i wrote the songs over a couple of weeks on a little Casio keyboard...Sire heard it and offered me a deal...no use appologising for such a thing...my mistake... the good part of it was working with Richard Gottehrer ...really took me under his wing...shame we were working on the wrong kind of music.."

"Swear" was covered by Sheena Easton for her 1984 album A Private Heaven.
