So I guess this week I’m stuck in 1979. Interestingly enough, this song (which I later decided may have been my favorite pop song ever) also just happened to be the first song I remember being introduced to initially through a music video.

This was at a time when “music video” really meant “promo clip that you send to music shows on TV so you don’t have to appear in person and lip sync”. The show where I first saw it, I remember, was an odd syndicated show called “Twiggy’s Jukebox” hsted by the famous ex-model. In fact, I don’t think I’d ever seen the video again until today.

Looks like Bev Perdue has brought out the big guns.
