Andrew Matheson - True Romance (1979)

Andrew Matheson was the lead singer for The Hollywood Brats, a British glam/protopunk band in the style of The New York Dolls. Tonight let's join him in this dark alley and have a late night milkshake with this sweet little tune.

    If I ever get divorced, I am dressing in leather and approaching the women snapping my fingers and singing like this. PINK LEATHER. I mean, it obviously works. ;)
