   southern accents is the sixth album by tom petty and the heartbreakers, released on march 26th, 1985, through mca records. the album's lead single, "don't come around here no more," cowritten by dave stewart of eurythmics, peaked at #13 on the billboard hot 100. its music video featured alice in wonderland imagery.
