A Stupid Video for a Cool 80s Song

Recently, I got a nice bootleg of The Tubes at The Palladium in New York City from 1981. I was perusing it on the way into the salt mines this morning and found it to be a pretty enjoyable listen.

These guys were big in the San Francisco area in the 1980s, but their only quasi-hits were this song, Talk to Ya Later and the strip club staple, She's a Beauty.

Their keyboardist, of course, went on to bigger and better things afterwards.

Not finding a good live version of it from the 80s (there was a 2003 reunion version, but...blech), I grabbed the MTV video.

Enjoy the cheesieness!
