Many thanks to my friends, Keith and Christina Crocker, for introducing me to this video. It's of interest for a variety of reasons.
Notably, it features Christopher Lee, whom I am most familiar with as a horror film actor. Lee is kind of wooden here as a singer, but that stiffness actually helps draw the contrast between himself and Gary Curtis, the lead vocalist.
The song also sounds a lot like Nick Lowe (circa the Cowboy Outfit era). That said, it also reminds me of Dire Straits' "Twisting by the Pool." It's a really catchy song, even if it is kind of disposable.
Finally, Gary Curtis' look and manner remind me of a guy at work. Discretion prevents me from naming him.
