The Mo-Dettes - “White Mice”

Awesome video for one of my favorite new wave obscurities. I dare you to comprehend the lyrics without cheating and looking at the YouTube comments.

Turns out one of my favorite ridiculous 80s songs has a video that is equally ridiculous, but for entirely different reasons. Notably absent: sex, girls.

Also, Youtube comments tell me that these two were the rhythm section for Sparks’ 80s incarnation. Bonus.
