Who's the girl in the video - is she an actress?

[bothways]

@cailingaelach1970 Yes she is - I can remember her first name was Emma, but not her surname. She was hired by John Pearse who made the video and is now a successful West End bespoke tailor.

This seriously sounds like a Hall and Oates song

[bothways]

@DominoRyder Seriously? Which one ?

[TheNicholas0202]

One of the greatest and most under rated songs if not The most under rated song in history. It's a masterpiece.

[Pacquaio]

@cailingaelach1970 OMG I went to art school with this girl in 79 -82 but I cannot remember her name at all ......goodness I haven't seen this video and it has been years since I heard the song :O)

Gweat sound, Gweat sound! think it's my earworm for the rest of the week now, I'll have to put a call in to Keaveny.

PS, anyone else remember Mr Robinson's Radio Four mens show called The Locker Room? Ah, takes me back

Brilliant song, a masterpiece.

[cambofrog]

Hah, favourited this several years ago, nice to see it at over 100,000 hits now.

Fucking quality.

[azapro911]

This was kind of a comeback song. Tom Robinson had been largely forgotten as a singer since TRB had broken up in '79 - though he had continued to write songs with other artists including Elton John.

it just keeps hittin' and hittin' and hittin' ya.....it's just merciless.
