Nick Lowe (Rock pile, & recording producer) took this song and made them their first hit. Unfortunately Nick then dropped them saying they had nothing more to give, How wrong can you be! The rest as they say is history.
Thanks for uploading this original video. I have fond memories of The Pretenders in '79. I'm pretty sure I saw them at the "Palladium" in NYC. It was a wild ride and I'm glad I'm still here to say that those days and that era of music were incredible. You could actually afford a ticket to a great show, then sneak in backstage, mingle with the crowd and relax without having 10 keystone cops asking to see your ticket stub. No bombs. Just bongs.

The best Pretenders song although not an original. Better than the Kinks original version.
