    According to http://www.memoriesfade.com/band/9videos.html#9.10:

    Tell me about the 'Head Over Heels' video!

    The 'Head Over Heels' music video was filmed during several days at
    the Emmanual College Library in Toronto, Canada in May 1985 whilst
    Roland and Curt were there on the Big Chair tour. It was directed by
    Nigel Dick. The basic premise of the video is that Roland falls madly
    in love with a simple-appearing, home-body librarian (played by local
    model Joan Densmore) while his band-mates clown around. The video
    itself falls quite in-line with the duo's personalities. "They are
    very natural, rather funny, pleasant people. They have a warmth.
    Everyone has friends like them," said Nigel Dick during a break in the
    Head Over Heals filming. Nigel captured this well in this video. And
    as Roland says, "most people get (their) videos wrong." Roland and
    Curt want their videos to reflect who they are. "We're just selling
    normality really," continues Roland. Everyone's favorite part was
    filming with the chimpanzee, Zippy. During one scene, Roland was
    horsing around and the chimp looked at Roland and stuck his tongue out
    because "he knew I was taking the Mickey."

    This is not a serious question, but rather a follow-up suggested by
    Larry's late Friday question.

    For a fun use of a library, go to You Tube and search for the video to

    "Head over Heals" by Tears for Fears. I loved that video when it came
    out in 1985. It had a fairly non-stereotypical look (although it did
    have shh-ing).

    I haven't seen the video since it first came out. Having worked during

    the '90s in the Research Library at New York Public Library, I thought

    that it might have been filmed there. I finally found it on You Tube,
    and it was not the Research Library. It might have been the Jefferson
    Market branch in Greenwich Village West (5th Ave. & 14th St.), but I'm

    not totally sure. The monkey is wearing a Red Sox jersey, which would
    suggest Boston.

    Does anyone know where this video was filmed?

    By the way, the mixture of people, some of whom were unusual (such as
    the person wearing a gas mask, the monkey, etc.) is indeed very
    typical
    of many of the clients in New York Public Library branches.
