X-Plus presents the Revenge of the Creature Gill-Man 1:8 Scale...
Hey there cool cats and kittens it's time once again for the hippest retro video feature out there in TV land. This week we want you to stop worrying and love the bomb. Yes, we are going back to the hot days of the cold war with Donald Fagen's part love story, part duck and cover, video for the song 'New Frontier'.
In the video a sly young man, who looks a lot like Mayer Hawthorne, tries to score with his date in his families bomb shelter. Let me tell you this, our lover boy did better with the threat of mutual assured destruction in regards to trying to seduce a woman than I did. I once talked to a girl about how the fate of the world was hanging by a string and if war was to break out we would all be atomized and she ran home crying. Seems that talking about the end of the world is not a good strategy to use if you want to get to third base.
Here is your history:
"New Frontier" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Donald Fagen for his debut studio album, The Nightfly (1982). The song was released as the second single from the album in January 1983 through Warner Bros. Records. The song received acclaim from music critics. Its music video—which combined animation and live-action—was considered an early classic through rotation on MTV. It was less successful on the charts than its predecessor "I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)", however, reaching number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. It performed better in the Netherlands, reaching number 47.
The music video for "New Frontier" was produced, for Cucumber Studios, by Annabel Jankel and was directed by Rocky Morton. The music video continues the song's concept of a teenage romantic evening in a bomb shelter. It mixes animation and live-action footage. Fagen appears only in a poster for The Nightfly seen on the wall of the bunker. Stewart Mason of AllMusic said the clip for the song was "widely considered one of the great videos of the early MTV era." It was later included as a bonus feature on the DVD-Audio reissue of The Nightfly.
As you may already know Donald Fagen was originally known for being a member of the band Steely Dan, and for never smiling in a photograph, anyway here is your bonus video:
