The three girls in the original lineup were babes and you gotta love them dumping the pizza in the guy's lap at the end of the video! Still have the vinyl LP somewhere, and a great forgotten cut was "Surf's Up" (the instrumental version of their song "On The Beach")... totally berserk and way cool 80s surf instrumental. Way to go, Bobby O! Definitely one of my faves from “back in the day” MTV.

Because new order were frowny and cool and Pet Shop Boys were ironic and pop.

"Jukebox" is essential a rewrite of "Our Lips Are Sealed," just as "Helpless (You Took My Love)" is a photocopy of Laura Branigan's "Self Control." Similarly, there's the "Like A Virgin" knock-off of The Flirts' "New Toy," and the Janet Jackson "Nasty" sound-alike of "(All You Ever Think About Is) Sex". I love the group for the enthusiasm they put into being the musical equivalent of the Rolex imitation you buy from the shady guy on the street corner.
