  What was really great about early MTV, aside from the mock­ery oppor­tun­it­ies afforded by its VJs, was the rel­at­ive paucity of music videos at the time meant they had to put on whatever they could get. This ranged from the fairly cool—“Too Many Creeps” by the Bush Tetras—to the hil­ari­ously pompous—“On the Loose” by Saga—to the fantabulously lame—“Citizen” by Citizen, con­tain­ing the immor­tal lines “I’m a citizen/and I’m con­cerned.” Who was it who did “I Won’t Let You Down,” anyway?…

  Ah yes, Saga. Around my ka-razy house of room­mates at the time the chor­us to that song quickly became “No one can stop us now/Tonight we fuck the moose.” Of course we were all prob­ably just jeal­ous because our girl­friends thought the sing­er was cute. Or maybe that was just my girlfriend…
