Video Of The Week: Haircut 100

Hey - it's one of those weeks, where anything that can make you smile, giggle or just laugh out loud is more than welcome. So with that in mind, for this week's Video, I went back to the early 1980s - a bottomless pit of the cheesiest music - to find British New Wave band Haircut 100 and one of their ''hit songs'' from their first album, Pelican West. The song is Love Plus One.

In this video, you will witness an old guy who looks like he's trying to either capture King Kong or start himself a Jurassic Park, Tarzan, cannibals, a shy frontman (weird, since he left to band to pursue a solo career between their first record and its follow-up), the happiest drummer on the planet, and a bass player who proves white men can't dance.

As far as clichés about Africa go, this one scores on many, many fronts. Not many of you will be able to tolerate this all the way through - you have been forewarned.
