Ahhh... our local cable company's channel had a video show in 1984 and this is one of 4 songs they played all the time!! The others are Talk Talk (It's My Life), Duran Duran (Union of the Snake) and Tracey Ullman.
Guys, keep your cussin' off YouTube. It doesn't belong here, not now, not ever. Anyway, good reprisal by Dwight of his '75 hit, "I'm on fire' Girls hit #16.
Yeah, i have that video - it was called "Sexy Shorts" in the UK. There were some great songs by acts i'd never heard of - and this was the first time i heard/saw "Girls" - thought it was great, and the video was awesome. I remember lolling so hard at that bit (in the R-Rated version) where the guys dance into the shower - as they enter, they remove their towels, all in perfect sync ... then along comes the unfit bloke who messes the dance up - just cracked me up.
ths video influenced my life. i 1st had it on (BETA) can u fuckin believe it! it was on a video i got at radioshack w tht putz beta player in 1985. fucked me up. i go to manila philippines 1x a yr + through some negotiations i was abl to see 2 girls together. i still see em every yr. the filipino guys are actually pretty cool abt it. we alw go out on my honda 200 +we seldom get fucked with. theyre pretty cool people there. nice to see this agn. was 20+ YRS sinc i saw this
Anyone know if Dwight married his college girlfriend Linda (can't remember her last name)? The video for 'Girls' was a direct putdown of the snotty football jocks & cheerleaders that we had classes with at NEO A&M in Miami, OK, where in '71 Dwight stood out with his very long hair and usual black attire -- a much different look than the 'Golden Norsemen.' He even used NEO's school colors in the video. Very cool that he & Petty got together & great that we both ESCAPED NEO!
anyone happen to know if Dwight married his college girlfriend Linda? His song 'Girls' was a much-deserved putdown of the football jocks & cheerleaders with whom he went to college at NEO A&M. Even same school colors. I had several classes with Dwight & Linda and knew he was light years ahead of our many redneck classmates. In '71 Dwight wore his hair l-o-n-g and he pretty much always dressed in black ... rather early 'goth,' not the norm in northeast Oklahoma. Great that he & Petty
I had this record too but never saw the vid until now. Great song. It deserved a much better video than this corny crap. Oh well, good to hear it anyway.
Thanks for putting this one back up...Dwight's awesome and this is such a fun video! Note to Cowsill fans: yes, that's Paul. The best view is at ~1:15 when he's 3rd guy down at the lockers.
God I hated this video.

This sounds like Mozart compared to what's on the radio today. This is pure power pop, man --- a great genre.

Thank God for youtube! First time I've
seen this vid. Dwight Twilley
is a great musician, I first saw him on
ABC. I went to school with his daughter
Dione, and none of us realized who her dad was
until the day we saw her and Dwight on Maury
Povich, around 1995 or so. It turns out Dwight
wrote a book about her called "Letters From Dad" I haven't seen
Dion in 9 years, but if she happens to read this:
"Jesse Roggio says hi, and look for me on myspace"
