Goodness me. Where on earth did you dig this clip up from? This was their first UK single and NOT a big hit even though they went on to become a VERY famous band there. Pretty much unknown in the US though...and the last thing I expected to find on Misscellania today! Thanks for the flashback and hideous hairstyles.

I have very clear memories of this song from my childhood. I know I sure played it on the radio a lot, if the format allowed it.

From this clip I bet most people would not realize this is the same band that opened the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium in London in 1985. Francis Rossi, the lead vocalist, is the only one from the original line up still alive and in the band. Thanks again for posting Miss C. Great memories!

Camper Van Beethoven has a great cover of this as well...
