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."

Subject: [LAW-LIB:56293] RE: Late Friday Question
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.
