Thanks, everybody. For some reason I didn’t see these replies till now. I thought I’d just asked a boring question and nobody answered…

Oh, and the band is called [Slutty Hearts](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkv1HRQ_Lt8).

Flames, devils, chrome exhaust pipes, leather and studs, this shirt incorporated everything that was cool heavy metal of the time. I had never heard of the band before and rushed out to track down a cassette tape, sure that they were the second coming of Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden combined…

Don’t know if this has been done, but you might take Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell cover:

and replace the motorcycle and rider with yourself on a Vespa:
