LAURIE ANDERSON - Beautiful Red Dress [1989]

Original promo clip for "Beautiful Red Dress", a single taken from Laurie Anderson's "Strange Angels" album, released in 1989.

Well I was down at the zig zag - that's the zig zag bar & grill
and everybody was talking at once and it was getting real shrill
and I've been around the block but I don't care, I'm on a roll - I'm on a wild ride
cause the moon is full and look out baby - I'm at high tide.
I've got a beautiful red dress
and you'd look really good standing beside it, girls
we can take and if we can't, we're gonna fake it!
we're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves!
well they say women shouldn't be the president
cause they go crazy from time to time
well push my button baby here I am
yeah look out baby I'm at high tide
I've got a beautiful red dress
and you'd look really good standing beside it..
I've got a little jug of red sangria wine
and you could little sips from time to time
I've got some bright red drop dead lips
I've got a little red card and mechanical hips
I've got a hundred and five fever!!!
ok! ok! hold it! I just want to say something
you know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents
now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
so, with that kind of luck,
it'll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck
but hey, girl
we can take but if we can't, we're gonna fake it!
we're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves!
we've got a fever of a hundred and five
when the moon is full
then look out baby, it's high tide
well I could just go on and on and on...
but tonight I've got a headache.
