I Wish I Was in Tijuana Eating Barbequed Iguana

Today's strange little video comes from a strange little band from Los Angeles called Wall of Voodoo. The band did a synthesizer-driven cover of the Johnny Cash song, "Ring of Fire" in 1980, but found moderate chart success with today's song from 1983 entitled "Mexican Radio"... I wish they would have put the four members a little bit closer together during the shooting of the video... that's all.
