The Virgins not only record songs that sound like they’re straight from 1983, they make videos that look like they’re from a public access channel (albeit a raunchy one) from 1983. The video features gratuitous shots of male and female strippers, and is hosted by a cool host who goes by Jack Walls.

This video is enough to remind me just how unsexy the Robin Byrd show was.
