This is war

In response to genericus's posting of "Drop your Pants" by Hilary, I present my personal emblematic early 80s tune: Shiny Shiny.

Yes, I was a KROQ kid starting in about 1978-79. I kinda miss New Wave. Where's Lene Lovich when you need her?

See, I actually LIKE Shiny Shiny.
The Hilary song was "wait...what was THAT song? I think I liked it..."

"Oh, yeah. This blows. HARD"

And bear in mind in mind I posted the song because SOMEONE wanted to hear it SO BAD he emailed a COMPLETE STRANGER who'd mentioned having an mp3 of it in passing on a website that hasn't been updated in the better part of a year...

I haven't seen the video for "John Wayne Is Big Leggy" in a long time. Would like to see it if I can find it.
