"Lay All Your Love on Me", originally called "Yarrafat", is a song recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA in 1980 for their Super Trouper album. It was released as a 12-inch single in 1981 only in limited territories, rather than the standard 7-inch record. At the time, it was the highest selling 12-inch record in UK chart history, though this has since been beaten by numerous other records. "Lay All Your Love on Me" appears on the group's ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits
collection.

You too may be 'invited' to assist the Ministry of Information with certain inquiries.

Scene from Terry Gilliam's brilliant bureaucracy-questioning movie "Brazil" juxtaposes procedure, chaos and order. (2:55)

<i>I can't take credit for the Homeland Security reference - on the YouTube original.</i>
