OMG they are Yanks, always thought they were Poms, you mean the Septics actually had a sense of the absurd? Now I think they are more amazing, they must have gone against the whole grain of Yankee music.
@hmbaily Yep, the Mael brothers were born and raised in Southern California. But they first broke it big in the UK, which is why a even a lot of American fans thought they were Brits.
Best music video ever. I love the look on Julie's face 2:41ish

Well it would have to be in the fall of 1985 isn't it?
By this time I was slipping from my Sparks days of 83 and 84 but did buy the 12 inch single of this and the next album.

@rubinoos1 I'd guess 1985 or 1986. Anyone else have a guess?

This song and "In Between Days" both charted in late-July / early-August 1985.

Russell's supremely dorky little "shut up!" never fails to warm the cockles of my heart. Thanks for re-posting this.
