Dale just exudes sex. Some of the looks she gives, the expressions, her eyes, are just downright musical porno! Her smoking hot body is just an orgasm in a body stocking! Va-Va-Va-VOOM!
I was 16 when these guys came on the charts in 1982 and it was called New wave music. A little mellower than punk. It lasted about 2-3 years and died , the impact and influence it had you can still see it today. But you still gotta love the original.
Lol. Sadly, I believe this vid predates MTV. This came out in 80. MTV wasn't until aug of '81. I actually remember their movie debut in Lunch Wagon. Dating myself.
Missing Persons Wow! Dale Bozzio so cool..i loved her anti style meaning she wasnt this "pro" dancer" she just stood there and sung in her own way..as for the ga-ga similarities well i'd take Dale Bozzio anyday..Missing Persons as a band were so innovative and under the radar..this song kicks some serious butt 10/10 for MP
MTV went down the drain in the mid 80's when they starting playing crap... errr rap.. same thing. Remember when there was no MTV and you had to wait for Friday Night Videos? LOL
I just now I used to love to dance to this....I used up so many calories bouncing around to this....I love most songs for lyrics, this one is just fun! Remindsw me of easier times...college days...
I just now I used to love to dance to this....I used up so many calories bouncing around to this....I love most songs for lyrics, this one is just fun!
I think what some of the young nay-sayers dont understand, is that no time in history has the scumbag record companies ever put out so much garbage all at once.
Since the majority of music was OK to great, one didnt have to spend any time at all trying to find good artists. Today you have to wade through so much fake ass crap to find a few decent acts, its frustrating to us old farts.
And that why we give todays elevator muzak and copy cats a hard time.
Being Blonde does not mean one is following Dale Bozio or Madonna, for that matter. Lady Gaga's music really is in a completely different vein than Missing Persons'. I like much of it, as I like much of Missing Persons', but it's like comparing apples and oranges. Get some musical training and you'll know what I'm talking about.
@juliepets2 ...............actually before ga ga was ga ga her then boyfriend producer.....gave her albums of missing persons..............and told her to study Dale Bozzio............and obviously it paid off
I can't stand that Lady CaCa thinks no one will remember these awesome bands and just rips off thier creativity and uses their styles as if they were her own!!!..I never hear her giving any credit to those whom she has copied! Her managers and publicists have to know she's nothing more than a rip off and a SCUM SCAM! I know these bands well like Kate Bush, Missing Persons and Grace Jones. Come up with something original or admit you're a FRAUD and a copycat making money off others hard work!
Lady CaCa should be licking Dale Bozzio's boots for even giving her something to copy and take credit for!!!...Missing Persons were and still are the ultimate in shock and creativity. And to think Miss CaCa can try and use Dale's creativity and orginality and call herself a trend setter and an original artist. Miss CaCa is only hoping no one remembers these bands and can act like they are her own original ideas........WE REMEMBER!!!....and shame on you Lady GaGa....you're so transparent!!
Dale Bozzio was the hottest and sexiest woman of her time!! I remember when she did the spread for Hustler magazine. Shit, I locked myself away in my room for a year and when I finally came out I had a shredded mag and one arm that looked like Popeye! Good times!!!
this is how it should be... female rock singers backed by a BAND!!!! Blondie, The Pretenders, Siouxsie, The Cranberries, Garbage, need i go on?! It aggravates me that most female singers today (or in the past decade for that matter) either have to be some over-exposed pop starlet or an underground/indie act.
Just showed a 19 y/o this video & he said "it looks like a school project" LOL. This was big shit in the 80's even though the singer wasn't talented they pulled it off as believe it or not this three piece band was loaded with immense talent, Terry Bozzio is an amazing drummer from Frank Zappa's band.
SO NOW YOU YOUNG-IN'S can see that Lady Ga Ga was already done 20 years ago.
Like someone said this was when MTV was really Music Television not like the CRAP they have on now.
@MusicCollaborator I'm 19, and I knew about Dale before GaGa...love them both but the reason so many like her is because she's bringing hints of the 80's back that so many people (like my mom and me) miss. I *love* MP and 80's music, most of today's music is HORRIBLE!
@JohnnyLovely2 ........................I agree was wondering why the guy said the singer wasn't talented...........Dale rocked the look and the music........the whole band was awesome
@MusicCollaborator and btw... I'm 17... i don't think this looks like a 'school project' at all. it's much, much better. this is one of the best new wave groups ever.
@MusicCollaborator Dale (the singer) IS TOTALLY TALENTED still now just seen her last week and she is TALENTED you obviously are an untalented idiot. music is not your forte and Terry wasn't the only one in the band that was in Frank Zappa's band. so you don't know what your talking about Missing Persons are phenominal
@MusicCollaborator The singer is Dale Bozzio...his sister. She might not have been the been the best singer but they sure did make some good and fun music. an Icon band of the 80's as far as I' concerned.
@MusicCollaborator: I agree that today's music is CRAP, and that Lady Blah Blah essentially is a plagiarism of Dale Bazzio. For that matter many of today's female divas are simply throwbacks to what was done in the 80s only with far less real talent. Thanks to auto-tune, pitch correction, digital editing and the plethora of techno wizardry available these days, talent is not required to be a singer. This vid isn't a good representation of Dale's singing ability, however.
@MusicCollaborator I agree with the spirit of your comment. This is 30 years ago. I like Dale Bozzio. Unlike Lady Gaga there isn't auto-tune on this track.
@MusicCollaborator 30 yrs ago now and even some other great Los Angeles bands with female vocalist who never got there due or fame were cutting edge and breaking new ground in the later 70's blowing our minds with greatness. I think Madonna was the first commercial rip off steeling LA's female look from Punk, New Wave and under ground music, even steeling the look from LA's original Death Rock look/fashion. Anyways good post! Missing Persons rocked!
@MusicCollaborator right on ,dale was the least talented of this band. it really showed when they had a brief reunion in 2001-02? a few shows in CA. Terry & Warren were spot on, dale was not.
THIS was back then when MTV was MTV not all the dumb shit it is now where you have all this teen mom bullshit, MTV used to be just music and music videos now it fucking sucks!!!
i know right....im not too old but im not too young to remember. i just wonder when they are going to change their acronym...because there is no MUSIC on MTV it's just TV...??!! :/
I still work out listening to this song and to the person regarding on the crap show on MTV explained further what genres are you expressing. Because music today really do suck.
@fearofablackjanet yes,,,,many years ago he posed naked for G magazine, a brazilian magazine, years later he make a porn video where he appears masturbating, showing his great body and his beautiful and huge cock and has another video where he introduces a dildo in the ass, meanwhile he jack off
The greatest song from MP and Dale looks succulent as ever. I met her back on Totally 80's tour with Flock of Seagulls. She looked great and her high-pitched voice was as endearing. Long live the 80's and great Bikini shot at the end.
Loved this tune when it came out, still love it today; what a great band. Too bad today's bands can't be more creative, oh well I'll just listen to more Missing Persons, lol
Thanks for the heads up, but there was a keyboard player and he would have been the fourth member,at least he was in the early vids of Mental H and Words?
@rocknrollhoocheecoo Actually, there were two keyboard players, Patrick O' Hearn and Chuck Wild, but it was Dale, Terry and Warren who originally recorded the first album "Spring Session M" -- Chuck and Patrick are currently composing their own solo projects.
Thanks Man. Warren C I'll call him. Incredible talent I think. To this day I haven't heard anybody extract a sound out of a guitar the way he did on Mental and Noticable One's. Steve Stevens.....right. Now I remember. Oh yes Billy's flock went off big time during that period too. I never hear Eye's without a Face much anymore? What a fuckin rad tune Steve Stevens way the guitar wizard too,but My vote has to go to Warren! Yeah god bless You Tube so I can voice that,and for your reply!
All Points Bulletin..... All Three, excuse me 4 members of Missing Persons report to the recording studio at once! Your coffee break is over! We need you back! Dale...snap back,Terry my friend for the love of God...Read the comments? MIA Missing Persons...You had too many hits. You can't just bail!?
@rocknrollhoocheecoo The "orignial" Missing Persons only consisted of Dale, Warren and Terry.
Dale and warren are back together for a summer tour. I recommend you check out the "Official Missing Persons" facebook page or Dale's official website (dalebozzioofficial com) for upcoming dates.
This is what a real rock group should sound like! It's sad were slipping away fast these days. 100,236 veiws should be 10 million. What a masterpeice of a song! Walkin in LA, Noticable One is the bomb though in my opinion?
A former Playboy playmate and virtuosos drummer. Cool combo. The US festival in Southern Cal, what a memorie. I was part of the 20 thousand who's buses never showed up at one of the designated parking lots, and we all had to walk 12 miles in blistering heat to get to the concert. It looked like the scene from the Ten Commandments like the exodus out of egypt. Its a good thing we were young. We were all dying of thirst when I ran into a friend from high school and he offered me pork grinds. WTF!!
This was a fav back in '82 on MTV, short & to the point!
I thought for years that the guitar player's (is it Warren Cuccirello?) guitar was a homemade model. Turns out it was an old & very rare Vox guitar model from the 60's called the Winchester. Vox was more famous for the teardrop shaped Mk VI guitar that Brian Jones from the Stones played, & also the guitar amps that they make to this day.
@seljuk1969 Pardo me for butting in,but who is / was that guitarist and where is he now? Man that guy was no doubt a master of eletronic soundeffects amazing talent that some how went un heralded? The only other guy with those chops back then was the guitarist for Billy Idol. That's it those two,but this guy was way cool whata rippa! Anyone agree?
@rocknrollhoocheecoo Good Question, you're thinking of Steve Stevens from Billy Idol's band, him & Warren (this is definitely him in this vid) here look similar and both had a similar playing style. Warren Cucciriello went on to play in Duran Duran for a good period of time in the 90's....have not heard what he has been up to lately.
@seljuk1969 His name is spelt, Warren Cuccurullo, and he's been composing some fantastic music, in my opinion, at least. I recommend you listen to some of music on his myspace "DoUBLEyOuSEe." One of my favorite tracks is "Is Wot You Is."
Dale has released some solo work since the disbandment as well. Most recently she released an LP entitled "Make Love Not War" which was intially recorded in the early '90s.
In addition, Dale and Warren are together for a tour this summer.
They were called a Steinberger. I had tried a few back then as I play guitar as well. i was all excited to try one out. They are actually very hard to play sitting down. They are show guitar at best. They also required good pickups because the body of the guitar did not produce nice tones due to the lack of wood. But, they stiull had a cool factor, I did not hate them, I just spent my cash on a nice Gibson.
@elbrown4183 Gee thanks for the response, I wasn't expecting anyone to comment. And Yeah, I had a feeling there was a disadvantage due to there being no body on the guitar.
@blowe98 Dude was? That guy is the only living drummer today is? I can't even put it into words what he's all about. You gotta know he is what it is to love an instrument beyond the material it's made of. You must become one with the instrument , Like I said it's hard to put into words. To get and idea of what I'm saying by watching the clip were he's doing a solo with Frank Zappa watching. About half way thru, you'll see what I mean I hope. Please...
@arklat Yeah Blonde hardcore trash mouth singer. I mean that in a good way but she had a unique persona. A real woman with her own opinions who wrote her own rules! Wendy-O-Williams right yeah thanks for reminding me boy how we lack nowadays!
Wow, I just made that connection....I've forgotten about this band and yeah, Lady Gaga is like a mixture of this, Maddonna, Siouxsie and her own ideas....look at the resemblance of her and Dale Bozzio, intriguing to say the least.
@MarkFaust I hear yah, so sick of the rap crap and wigger music being crammed down our throats....I don't even watch MTV (is it still on the air, lol) or VHI unless it's this type of music and other rock genres....My thing right now is Rammstein, Korn, Godsmack, but my little boy loves Lady gaga and Rammstein, hehehe
Missing Persons are great,great songs and style but come on Lady gaga obviously has influences from everything before her as does everything there ever is,so what.
Back in 1982 hordes of people were bemoaning bands like this saying the same thing as they say about gaga now,like "it's all image" or "are those guys wearing make up" and writing them off for not being like the eagles.You probably get Blondie fans saying,"Missing Persons?Pah".Talk about what goes around comes around.
@baswelo I know what you're saying,....but by the early 80's most of us were getting a little tired of bands like the Eagles,BOC,ELP,Aerosmith and their ilk.Not saying they sucked because they didn't.I was just time for something new and fresh,and groups like Missing Persons and Berlin came along at the right time.Lot of the old acts were late 60's groups that hit their commercial sucess in the 70's,so basically we were listing to the same music our older brothers listed to.HS Class of 82
Roller skating (with my neon pink wheels) from Venice to Santa Monica and back on the bike path...white Wayfarer Ray Bans, dolphin shorts and a bikini top. Stopping off at Toes Beach to hang out with my friends, listening to great songs like this. Cold beers, hot bodies and not a care in the world. Those were my 80's. Thank you MP for the most awesome memories!
@jimmyshitbags: check out the other MP videos here on youtube. you might also check out The Cars. they were the definitive power-pop, new wave band of the 80's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
God, this song rocks. No token niggers in the video, no insipid stylistic retardation, no forced "diversity". Just a hot white girl, over-pumped, super hyped drumming and tight musicianship. Great song! Don't whine that im "racist", just agree it's true.---the society was better when we had white music.
@FrankCastlez And don't forget, he played "The Black Page" with Zappa. In fact, it was written for him. Patrick O'Hearn was on the same tour, the FZ "Live in New York" album. Missing Persons were a freakishly talented band. Between them, Oingo Boingo, King Crimson and X, I get very upset when folks say there was no talent in the 80's. All those bands had technical chops and composing skills, playing fantastically challenging music with great ease. Oingo Boingo's "Ain't This the Life"? Unreal.
Terry is killing me with that look*-*

The greatest song from MP and Dale looks succulent as ever. I met her back on Totally 80's tour with Flock of Seagulls. She looked great and her high-pitched voice was as endearing. Long live the 80's and great Bikini shot at the end.

Thanks for the heads up, but there was a keyboard player and he would have been the fourth member,at least he was in the early vids of Mental H and Words?
rocknrollhoocheecoo 9 months ago
@rocknrollhoocheecoo Actually, there were two keyboard players, Patrick O' Hearn and Chuck Wild, but it was Dale, Terry and Warren who originally recorded the first album "Spring Session M" -- Chuck and Patrick are currently composing their own solo projects.

Thanks Man. Warren C I'll call him. Incredible talent I think. To this day I haven't heard anybody extract a sound out of a guitar the way he did on Mental and Noticable One's. Steve Stevens.....right. Now I remember. Oh yes Billy's flock went off big time during that period too. I never hear Eye's without a Face much anymore? What a fuckin rad tune Steve Stevens way the guitar wizard too,but My vote has to go to Warren! Yeah god bless You Tube so I can voice that,and for your reply!

@rocknrollhoocheecoo The "orignial" Missing Persons only consisted of Dale, Warren and Terry.
Dale and warren are back together for a summer tour. I recommend you check out the "Official Missing Persons" facebook page or Dale's official website (dalebozzioofficial com) for upcoming dates.

This is what a real rock group should sound like! It's sad were slipping away fast these days. 100,236 veiws should be 10 million. What a masterpeice of a song! Walkin in LA, Noticable One is the bomb though in my opinion?

A former Playboy playmate and virtuosos drummer. Cool combo. The US festival in Southern Cal, what a memorie. I was part of the 20 thousand who's buses never showed up at one of the designated parking lots, and we all had to walk 12 miles in blistering heat to get to the concert. It looked like the scene from the Ten Commandments like the exodus out of egypt. Its a good thing we were young. We were all dying of thirst when I ran into a friend from high school and he offered me pork grinds. WTF!!

This was a fav back in '82 on MTV, short & to the point!
I thought for years that the guitar player's (is it Warren Cuccirello?) guitar was a homemade model. Turns out it was an old & very rare Vox guitar model from the 60's called the Winchester. Vox was more famous for the teardrop shaped Mk VI guitar that Brian Jones from the Stones played, & also the guitar amps that they make to this day.
seljuk1969 10 months ago
@seljuk1969 Pardo me for butting in,but who is / was that guitarist and where is he now? Man that guy was no doubt a master of eletronic soundeffects amazing talent that some how went un heralded? The only other guy with those chops back then was the guitarist for Billy Idol. That's it those two,but this guy was way cool whata rippa! Anyone agree?
rocknrollhoocheecoo 9 months ago
@rocknrollhoocheecoo Good Question, you're thinking of Steve Stevens from Billy Idol's band, him & Warren (this is definitely him in this vid) here look similar and both had a similar playing style. Warren Cucciriello went on to play in Duran Duran for a good period of time in the 90's....have not heard what he has been up to lately.
seljuk1969 9 months ago
@seljuk1969 His name is spelt, Warren Cuccurullo, and he's been composing some fantastic music, in my opinion, at least. I recommend you listen to some of music on his myspace "DoUBLEyOuSEe." One of my favorite tracks is "Is Wot You Is."
Dale has released some solo work since the disbandment as well. Most recently she released an LP entitled "Make Love Not War" which was intially recorded in the early '90s.
In addition, Dale and Warren are together for a tour this summer.

CartoonsAndGameShows 10 months ago
They were called a Steinberger. I had tried a few back then as I play guitar as well. i was all excited to try one out. They are actually very hard to play sitting down. They are show guitar at best. They also required good pickups because the body of the guitar did not produce nice tones due to the lack of wood. But, they stiull had a cool factor, I did not hate them, I just spent my cash on a nice Gibson.

You gotta know he is what it is to love an instrument beyond the material it's made of. You must become one with the instrument , Like I said it's hard to put into words. To get and idea of what I'm saying by watching the clip were he's doing a solo with Frank Zappa watching. About half way thru, you'll see what I mean I hope. Please...

Missing Persons are great,great songs and style but come on Lady gaga obviously has influences from everything before her as does everything there ever is,so what.
Back in 1982 hordes of people were bemoaning bands like this saying the same thing as they say about gaga now,like "it's all image" or "are those guys wearing make up" and writing them off for not being like the eagles.You probably get Blondie fans saying,"Missing Persons?Pah".Talk about what goes around comes around.
baswelo 1 year ago 2
@baswelo I know what you're saying,....but by the early 80's most of us were getting a little tired of bands like the Eagles,BOC,ELP,Aerosmith and their ilk.Not saying they sucked because they didn't.I was just time for something new and fresh,and groups like Missing Persons and Berlin came along at the right time.Lot of the old acts were late 60's groups that hit their commercial sucess in the 70's,so basically we were listing to the same music our older brothers listed to.HS Class of 82

Roller skating (with my neon pink wheels) from Venice to Santa Monica and back on the bike path...white Wayfarer Ray Bans, dolphin shorts and a bikini top. Stopping off at Toes Beach to hang out with my friends, listening to great songs like this. Cold beers, hot bodies and not a care in the world. Those were my 80's. Thank you MP for the most awesome memories!

@jimmyshitbags All I can advise is search for "new wave" or "80's new wave". Those bands vary in style but a lot of them had great musicians.

God, this song rocks. No token niggers in the video, no insipid stylistic retardation, no forced "diversity". Just a hot white girl, over-pumped, super hyped drumming and tight musicianship. Great song! Don't whine that im "racist", just agree it's true.---the society was better when we had white music.

@FrankCastlez And don't forget, he played "The Black Page" with Zappa. In fact, it was written for him. Patrick O'Hearn was on the same tour, the FZ "Live in New York" album. Missing Persons were a freakishly talented band. Between them, Oingo Boingo, King Crimson and X, I get very upset when folks say there was no talent in the 80's. All those bands had technical chops and composing skills, playing fantastically challenging music with great ease. Oingo Boingo's "Ain't This the Life"? Unreal.
