Neither YMO nor Soul Train but this might be one of my favorite video clips ever…

What a great performance of Firecracker!
Is it me or does this sound different than the recording on the album?
Love this video… such a simple and charming idea.

Incredibly clever and somewhat deranged choice to open with a cover of tighten up on soul train, almost immediately proclaiming that they’re the new number one in a caricature accent during a time of serious fearmongering about Japan’s rise as a technological and economic superpower. And the crowd eats it up!
Leave it to YMO to deliver something that’s charming, comedic, thought provoking, and legitimately just a great performance. I think the announcer even brings up punk later knowing what the band just did is SUPER punk. Way too cool…
