Andrew - you're hearing it now.  I remember back in my youth, when all I
cared about were "kicks" and "action," seeing this rather bizarre video on
MTV featuring some twisted little woman dancing in a barn and shrieking away
in (what I deemed in my youthful folly) a particularly unappealing voice.  I
realized the truth many years later.  So, consider this extremely reliable
first-hand confirmation that MTV did indeed air Suspended In Gaffa at least
once.  The year was very probably 1982 as that's when we first got MTV and I
used to spend hours glued to it...  (I remember seeing Shock The Monkey at
least twice a day, and that was 1982...)

Your slamdancing fool with katepunk attitude to spare,
