@kylietahlia juvenile response. My guess is you are like 16(like added intentionally for effect).

[TheLemon714]

1980 @ Madame Wongs Chinatown Los Angeles, super fantastic memory! Great voice!

[TheTuggerrype]

Brilliant. remember seeing them in Darwin in the 80's and this song has always been a fav :)

Thanks for posting this clip.

[rubyredrhapsody]

love this band......wish they was around now like then...

[imalert2]

wheres your head at

[maxeythecat]

Yeah, this is definitely round 1979, cos they still have Frets Ferrari (aka Jeff Jourard) on guitar ...absolute shame what was done to him.

[rikkiroxx666]

@maxeythecat What happened to him??

[Loshia2002]

@rikkiroxx666 Lotta mucking about between Martha and Jeff...she wanted to get her then/boyfriend Tim McGovern into the band, so she made up some nonsense about Jeff trying to mess around with one of her teenage daughters and used that as an excuse to kick him to the curb.

[fretts]

1979 for sure. Early in career, not used to cameras, nervous.

[W103WWRW]

@fretts She was like this before and after the hits...just who she is...Very talented! 

[nativebabe07]

Huh,,Wha,,,,Ssshit,,,,,HaHa,,y­ip yip

[xplorn]

god she is so hot even with the ciggy

[POPARTPRODUCTlONS]

One of my all time favorites and a trully awesome song!!!!!!!

[gym5kids]

I remember sitting on our deck in the sun, partaking of the "influence" of the day, listening to this over and over. Bliss, pure bliss. F***h=ken rocks!!!!

[gym5kids]

OMG. I have always loved this song and loved Martha and the Motels. this is so totally from my era. F**K Subaru and their ad campaign in New Zealand that has this song as their "signature". This song will always be so relevent to every generation, for reasons more pertinant than an automobile ad campaign!!!!!!

[kingofpecos]

Music full of emotions. Martha is so real and beautiful here. A highpoint of the New Wave Era.

[sprintbass]

this is historical.

[jonnj1975]

Whoa..she's really messing up the verses to her own song!

[semitar6]

She sounds better now then she did in the 80's...

[joanofarcxxi]

she was wasted! my favorite motels song.

[PinkGuitarWoman]

i agree great song, wow does this bring back some memories, long live the 80's

[CrypticScorpio]

You mean the 80's are over?? Shhh - don't tell my stereo ....

[alwayswildatheart]

Not Martha's best rendition of this song, but even so an absolute classic. Thankyou for posting

[rotcafarg]
