Prime Mover was a UK Top 20 hit in 1987 :D

Just been watching old episodes of Countdown. One of the featured video clips was "Prime Mover" by Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction. I had never heard of these guys before, but the song is completely forgetable crap-metal and the clip is so choc-full of rock'n'roll cliches.....that I have to ask the question: Was this band for real? Were they some kind of send-up, not meant to be taken seriously?

Nope, they weren't. Hanging out with Bill Drummond, founder of KLF, Zodiac Mindwarp was always intended as self-parody,

Which was probably why it was one of my favorite hair metal videos of the 80s.

It's a year or so late, but Zodiac Mindwarp came back in 2010 with "We are Vollsung".

...and Elvis died for you!

There are plenty of other more worthwhile bands of time with funny names, such as,
THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS
