Welcome. Here are what passes for show notes. The reason the playlist is in the format you find it is because I really need a life. The very overwrought explanation can be found here.
Format is:
Artist/Band Name – “Song Name” – Album Name – (Band’s/Artist’s Country of Origin, Year of Song’s Original Release)

So here’s the music video. And it’s exactly what you would expect it to be.

Okay, to briefly explain my comment from the show…I’ve wanted to use this Christian Slater clip sandwiched between these two versions of “Body Movin'” for years. Here’s the original bit with some more context.

I just caught this while listening to the show play live: pretty sure I caught some guy in the Aliens doing a Yow! by himself when he wasn’t supposed to. We’ve all been there, friend.
