80’s Flashback

Fred Schneider & The Shake Society, Monster, 1984. Fred’s only solo hit, Monster includes B-girl Kate Pierson on vocals and P-Funk legend Bernie Worrell on keyboards. Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club member Tina Weymouth and artist Keith Haring both do cameo appearances in this clip. (Can anybody ID the drag queen?) The rest of this album wasn’t so great, other than the duet with Patti Labelle, It’s Time To Kiss. But it was a nice interruption of the long dry spell between Whammy and Bouncing Off The Satellites.
