805 - Young Boys video history

In mid September 1982, 805's production company on Long Island talked RCA into putting up $17,000 for a video.  Just for reference, $17,000 is less than the cost of the gecko's litter box on a Geico commercial shoot.  Filmed in less than a day on 3/4" video tape,  it was the Motel 6 of rock videos.  Anyone hanging around got a part - the director's secretary played a nun, the director himself portrayed an angry father, they dressed Dave Porter in a vest and red tuxedo shirt "for color" and presumably to make him look more like Tom Jones, and when they ran out of people they dressed up mannequins.  They did, however, manage to get the 1982 P*nthouse Pet of the Year to appear in the video and yes, she was beautiful but the bed scene was about as erotic as a 'Depends' commercial and even if she had bared her 42D chest it couldn't have saved this video nightmare.  We shot 7 performance segments, but the one that made it to the final print was, for reasons that apparently died with the producer, the take where bass player Creamo gets hit in the face with the neck of Porter's guitar.  As bad as it was, MTV actually did play the video a couple dozen times.
