Sadly missing from the pictures of random chicks in the video is the legendary Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Gos. Still a good song.

[nzoz1982]

@psychofred2 Belinda Carlisle was too young for Mondo Rock. They're nice old men!

[58Clams]

Had you in mind, if any one has it, please put it on.

[nzoz1982]

I remember that song. Don't have the video, yet.

[AustralianGuyyy]

This is brilliant! I have been looking for this song for a while now. Thanks NZOZ for this. Love the creativity behind the early '80's video clips.

Kevin Rudd? Mmmm, sort of. Maybe in his younger years.

[nzoz1982]

thank you and as for Kevin Rudd... nah, if Eric McCusker can pass as a Kevin Rudd look-a-like, so could Billy Field....

Classic!! I been waiting for 4 years for that track to come onto youtube! Best Mondo's song ever.

[mignonhenne]

there's about 10 songs i've never heard between 1978-1983 and i know about 12 songs.why is this? they're brilliant songs.

@mignonhenne

yep sadly died from cancer a few years back

[carntspell]

@AustralianGuyyy now that you mention it I see what you mean. As usual Mondo Rock looked into the future and realised Ross would play the part of Kev while The Queen is clearly Julia getting ready to face the press for 5 minutes while ageing about 20 years. Genius..........

[mignonhenne]

is this the babe from sullivans ? megan ?

[bluecent65]

Megan Williams, a sad loss.
