"Man on the Radio" - a delightfully awful music vid

This is hands down one of the most terribly hilarious music videos I have ever come across - I found it on a vhs tape passed on to me by an old flatmate. Filmed in Hamilton, NZ (shot around well-known locations), this is well... watch it and see for yourself.
From the fashions and hairstyles, I'm picking this is from the late '80s, but given that it's from Hamilton, that could actually mean it's from the early '90s. (Shut up! I grew up in Hammo!)
No one yet knows who the band is, but if you recognise them, do share. This hard-working bogan pop-rock unit deserves recognition for this ground-breaking piece of Hamilton music video history. (Seriously)

Put the band in a car!

NZ's answer to Starship -- brilliant!
Seriously, this 'pap' is as good as any of the other MOR pap they were playing on Top 40 stations back in the late 80s and is therefore a good argument for the quota that came later. It shoulda been played, yet I never heard of it!
I'm guessing the songwriter was following that old myth "If you want to get airplay it doesn't hurt to mention the word Radio in the lyrics -- even better if you can fit it into the chorus"
