1979 was one of the greatest years for pop/rock, this slots right in there with The Jags, The Vapors, and Bram Tchaikovsky. The highest praise I can give. I remember NOT buying this 45 at G. Fox in downtown Hartford and purchasing a cut-out Badfinger record instead---No Dice

The Flying Lizards: Money (1979). Stripped back and ironic New Wave art pop, this was an unlikely hit but it really stood out at the time. No synths used on this: the piano has lots of paper and other junk covering the strings to give it that tinny, banjo-like sound.

@orbis_quintus I love Night Gallery. A high percentage of episodes that kill for one reason or another, be it acting or story or mood. A little silliness too. As good as Twilight Zone but NBC buried it in its first go-round and it never really went into the stratosphere, alas
