[Mr Bill]

Without a doubt the best of his A&M releases! The title track has an awesome video by his sister, Annabel Jankel:

The video is what I remember best about this song. I first saw it on "Goodnight, LA" , a local video program that used to air on KABC Fridays at 11:30 pm and ran to 1 am or a bit past. They always showed long form and cool videos like this one, not just the video hits. They had theme shows sometimes and liked to mix in movie clips and old ads. They used to simulcast on KLOS, also. You never knew what you were going to see on the show. There was also a weekend version that turned up every once in a while when there was some time to fill in the afternoon on KABC. Great show which I miss a lot

 

[Mr Bill]

Yep, Goodnight LA was the only place I've seen a Skafish, Cramps and RandyAndy video on air...

Glad to see someone else remembers this show! More on the show and its demise: http://articles.latimes.com/1985-10-27/news/tv-12374_1_kabc-los-angeles-vcrs

 

[Mr Bill]

It definitely filled the niche after USA cancelled Night FLight back in the early 80s... I sure miss that decade and just about everything about it!
