Sorry to be picky but "Love is All Around" is the MTM theme, covered by Husker Du, but "Makes No Sense at All" is pure Mould. I think they were bundled together in the video.

No your right... i was doing some fact checking and got my facts screwed up.... i think what happened is "Love is All Around" was the b-side to MNSAA and was later combined with "Eight Miles High" single as an EP and being old and easily confused...
