It was early in the morning, as I recall, January 1, 1984. Nam June Paik was going to do a live, world-wide video mix in celebration of the day, so I popped in a VHS to record the hour, thinking it would be important to archive... and no one else would. The tape is in the closet. I should go look for it.

Love Oingo Boingo! Danny’s moves are 🔥 Wake up! won't you listen to me Wake up! won't you listen to me Won't you listen to me Wake up! won't you listen to me Wake up! won't you listen to me Won't you listen to me Big brother's watching, we watch him back We see right through his disguise He tries to scare us, with angry words But we all know that they're lies Whole world is waiting Just see the fear in their eyes Whole world is watching, observing every move Is it beginning or the end? Just like a chess game, but so intense That I just don't understand Anticipation It's much to big to pretend , it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before (Wake up), it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before, (here before) Big brother's screaming but we don't care Cause he's got nothing to say Think of the future, think of the prophecy Think of the children of today Big brother's marching So we all stand in his way Open your eyes, sisters and brothers Neatly disguised, so far away Open your heart, try to remember Two worlds apart, but so close , it's 1984 But we've been here before (Wake up), it's 1984 But we've been here before All our lives leading up to this day, watching and waiting Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes, sisters and brothers Neatly disguised, so far away Open your heart, try to remember Two worlds apart, but so close , it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before (Wake up), it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before, (here before) Whole world is watching Anticipating Big brother's marching Is it beginning or the end? , it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before (Wake up), it's 1984 (Wake up), but we've been here before, (here before)

Nice find! The vocals are live but the music sounds like the album track.

[@computerfighter2000]

Is that the Saturn cube in the background?

[@bustedkeaton]

Nah its the cube from Devos "Peek A Boo" MV

[@depmboca32]

Fiesteros al palo

[@dju4ia]

Can totally hear The Simpsons theme in the intro.

[@TheSnowballEarth]

Try "Nasty Habits" from their album "Only A Lad." That's got the Simpson's bounce to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hau3lGxrZtSfj6c
