Subject: Very obscure anti-drug commercial

Hi!
Do any of you children of the '80s remember an anti-substance abuse PSA called "One dumb move, can blow your groove"? The whole video was centered around a rap song of the same name. It ran on TV somewhere around 1985-1988.
The lyrics I remember go like this:
--
Alcohol may cause you no alarm,
until you wake up and find that you are harmed.
You may laugh and think cigarettes are a joke,
but they're a cause of bad breath and (something) smoke.
When you check out the score in drug abuse,
you will find it's a game you can only lose.
It will soon be 1999,
and some of you may never use your mind.
Rock (something something), 2 by 4,
under the spell of rock, not drugs or alcohol!
One dumb move, can blow your groove...
--
Anyone? Anyone?

Did they keep repeating the end?

I think I remember this one.
It is either The Pet Shop Boys, or a Pet SHop Boys lookalike in it. I remember my daughter watched it all the time when it first came out. I think it was 1987 or 1988.
