  • Did not think I would find this! What a great surprise to see it on here. New Wave at its best!!! Thanks.

  • I had it, I posted it, you saw it. That's what YouTube is all about.

  • It's hard to tell from this version, but back when I saw it directly off TV it appeared they did all those flash and split-screen effects in film editing rather than in video. It would have been easy to do those effects in video, but doing heavy effects like that in film gave it a strange look. Pretty impressive.

  • This video is so old that these effects weren't available as video effects for another couple of years. ADO (Ampex Digital Opticals) didn't appear until the mid-80s. This was probably done on a multi-plane camera system, or possibly a Clearlight slide system.

  • HappinessIsDionne said: wow this brings me back to junior high school, running home to watch that new channel *** when they actually showed lots of nonstop videos.

    Please don't mention the names of broadcast networks. That's how they find and delete videos. Thanks.

  • Glad to make it available! Comments like these make it all worthwhile.

  • man, i gotta re-explore Flash & the Pan. i'm in Ohio, and they got some airplay in Cleveland back in their day. thanks for posting.

  • Though it was going into the A Team theme at the start!

  • @agamick New Wave?? Not at all! No Punk, No Disco it was late 70*ies coming flowing over Cheerest Australia 1979/1980, without everymeaning *** What a great band!

  • Oh man, what a sweet, sweet memory from my crazed youth.

  • I feel so behind the times....I first heard this song in restaurant bathroom a couple of days ago and was captured! Then again, I wasn't born until '88 and my parents are big motowners. But thanks for posting!

  • Despite the fact that the original album version is 6 min long having any version of "Media Man" is better than nothing.

  • @whitewolf60 U of M as in the U. of Michigan Wolverines?

    If so what do you think of (Brady Hoke) the new UM FB coach?

  • I remember listening to this on the U of M radio station back in the DAY!

  • @webkinzfreak221 Perhaps you find some great tunes at my channel...The best from the ´80´s ...Take a look!!!!

    Thanks....
