This is the kind of video that makes one glad that the singer knows how to wear a loin cloth, otherwise there could be a costuming incident. And although I always appreciate reddish-orangey hair, the doofy smile isn't exactly a turn-on. Still, it's an upbeat and enjoyable song.

So, since I seem to be in a ska mood today, I thought I'd post a couple of lesser-known songs from The Beat, a.k.a. English Beat. Most folks have heard Mirror in the Bathroom and Save it for Later, but these two are very catchy as well:
Fishbone is a wacky, wacky group. My favorite song of theirs is Lyin' Ass Bitch, but this one is right up there.
This song is also on that EP, and is also pretty good:
Year: 1985

So these videos aren't really anything spectacular, visually, but the songs are so upbeat that I wanted to put them all together.
Gotta dig the skanking scene in that last one - Madness were always kookily fabulous. The lead singer of the Blow Monkeys (who apparently went by "Dr. Robert") used way too much hair gel. In any case, I hope these songs add to your Saturday perkiness level. :)
Years: 1982, 1986, 1979 (I had no idea the Madness single was that early!)
