I was just bowsing [alt.fan.cecil-adams](http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.cecil-adams) when I came across [thisl](http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.cecil-adams/browse_thread/thread/53afda848c804a28/2c68993ec730b6db#2c68993ec730b6db) thread.

Now it has begun to bother me. What is that music video, anyway?

P.S. I suppose I could just hi-jack an already answered “Name this video” thread, but searching has gone on the blink, for me.

I can’t watch the clip since I’m at work but, based on the still images, I want to say **Hoodoo Gurus** , for some reason. It just seems to me like they had a video with a similar look in the mid - late 80s. I’m sure I’m way off, though.

Dang, now it’s bothering me!
