This animated cartoon music video of the Richard Hell and the Voidoids' single "The Kid with the Replaceable Head" (Radar, 1979) was created by Washington D.C. kid's show "Pancake Mountain." The song was written by Richard Hell, and this recording was produced by Nick Lowe. Personnel are Richard Hell, vocals; Robert Quine, guitars; Ivan Julian, guitars; Jerry Antonius, bass; and Frank Mauro, drums. The guitar solos are traded between Quine & Julian. The song's copyright is owned by Richard Meyers (1978, 2005) and the song is published by Dilapidated Music (BMI). The cut appears on Hell's 2005 retrospective CD, SPURTS. Other versions were recorded for Hell's DESTINY STREET (1982) and DESTINY STREET REPAIRED (2009).
@NucularTheArtist wrong! all the guitars have six tuning pegs so no one is playing bass. actually the third player has about 8 pegs in one shot. some frames show roberts axe with 4 strings but it seems that the artist is just implying that it has strings.
anyway RIP Robert Quine a brilliant player and cool cool guy.

I really should get Spurts after all. I have almost everything on it but the stuff I don't have is driving me c - r - a - z - y.... plus I never begrudge lining Richard's pockets.
