[megarouge2001]

@seawolf1231 I have a great image of you guys in your camo with your weapons dancing up to the commanding officer like the guys do at 0:28

[megarouge2001]

Barenaked Ladies borrows a snippet of this song in their song, I think, Hello City. Might be a different one.

[angelusgabrielus1982]

@megarouge2001 No, you're correct, right at the end, they also reference Duran Duran on Grade 9, off the same album.

[megarouge2001]

@angelusgabrielus1982 Neato! Thanks. :-)

[mireklookslikehim]

@noneedforname88 jsem rád, že i u nás se najdou obdivovatelé tak výborné hudby, jako je tahle :)

[anxresi]

By the looks of things, they could afford to spend a bit less time at happy hour..

[sufcwraggy]

love housemartins,up the blades..

[charingmartin]

Great 80's band. I remember they had a fan club of one kind or another called The House of Strangeness, in Hull. Though I live on the east coast of the US I still sent away for some information about the band. I may even still have that newsletter or whatever it was that they sent me. Still remember the day I was listening to the radio (WHFS in Washington DC) and the DJ mentioned that they had split up. It seemed that they had just gotten started..............

[JRGrange25]

GENIUS TUNE!
