You actually have to have a sense of humor to like this. It has been so many years since I heard them. Love it!

Classic Roches!! I've never seen a group who could sound almost exactly like the album - perfect example. Phenomenal. Thank you for posting!!!

The girl I dated in 1990 wore very similar to what Terre is wearing in this video. So the styles would seem to correctly date this performance.

"she thinks i want her autograph!" hahahaha.

Good song. I wasn't familiar with it. I saw them at McCarter, but I think it was a year or two after this. Great show. Nobody else does what the Roche sisters do. They are their own genre.

The thing that's so cool about this song, in addition to its ironic and self-deprecating lyrics, is that, while a folky-acoustic thing, the melody and harmonies are very Andrews Sister-sounding.

No matter how much I spray, I can't get rid of the Roaches.

Good folk music for the homeless.

And, of course, adding to the humor of the song is that the target of the hatred is none other than one of the musicians--Suzzy Roche singing about how much she hates Suzzy Roche.
First, thanks a lot for posting this vid to share with us. I went up to their concerts many times in early 80s but didn't hear this song ever on their stage. Thanks again.
Second, may I ask when was this vid taken? Was it really in 1990? This question is due to their pretty young lookings as in 90. It's just unbelievablly young!

This is without a doubt the correct date and venue. I shot it. I saw the Roches maybe 50 times and caught this song maybe 2 or 3 times.
