A still from the video for "Rip It Up" by Orange Juice
For our first Friday Video Pick, check out this 1983 hit by Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice. Resist the temptation to break out the foil and cellophane. But even more interesting than the space age feel is the contrast between the video’s space ship setting and scenes of band members roaming the streets in ’80s Hawaiian shirts, white pants and Panama hats. And they pull it off. Quite well. This video has a little something for everyone…
Orange Juice fans can look forward to Domino Records’ release of a seven-disc anthology this November. Happy Friday!
