Occasional Forgotten Video- The Members' "Working Girl"
The Members, headed by Nicky Tesco, were stalwarts of the late seventies/early eighties punk scene in London. They had one pretty big hit, Working Girl. The video got airplay on MTV in 1982. Tesco works as a music journalist these days, but the Members had a reunion last year.

Oh man- what a classic. Loved it then and loved hearing/see it now.
I used to wear that black/white keffir Palestinian scarf back that the working girl wears, back then too. It was very hip to do so. It was made of cotton and was so warm, warmer than any wool scarf.
Of course now that would send me to Gitmo. As if my blogging has not already started the wheels grinding for that journey.
That is one of my all time top ten favorite videos. I used to jump up and dance around when it came on MTV back in the day. "We got a love so pure. She pays the rent." Claaaaasic.
