He's a mindblowing drummer, but isn't really doing a whole lot in this tune other than keeping the beat. That said, I think restraint with drummers has become a lost art.
@@SarahTheMiddleEarthling Pillock, haha what a quaint term. I’m not saying she’s not beautiful, just not natural. In case you are not aware, a lot of guys don’t realize, like thedaves perhaps……
I am now 63 years old, and I remember seeing them at the US Festival. So, totally blown away by their performance, especially in the extremely hot air. I had such a huge crush on her back then. However, I was still sad for her and Terry when they were divorced.
Dale was fucking incredible,,,,yes the whole band were great , especially her husband drummer,,but she was the one who really made them rock ❤ her so much.
Zappa only ever worked with virtuoso guitarists, hand-selecting them (like Ozzy, like Alice), but Warren rarely gets the credit he deserves. Even here, way before MP were epic, his playing style is unlike anything else of the era, absolutely innovative on different levels. Terry was also always a tornado on drums, equally underrated. Watch their Us Festival set rom 40 years ago...left everyone else in their wake.
I second that emotion @jason! I loved MP! I'm from Michigan where many awesome artists made their bones & soon after ... LEFT THE STATE? LOL WELL? Bob Seger didn't for one! But I loved HOW HARD MP's songs were? Kind of punched you right in the mouth sometimes? Like the band L7? Their catalog also ... punched hard! And lyrically? The track,"Words"? About people not listening to one another? Yeah... more relevant RIGHT NOW than it was back then? Weird? One could dare call that, "a Classic" & get away with it! It appears to be timeless? The best music always is. Anyway @jason... GOOD CALL SIR🫡 BRAVO
i just watched that debut clip the other day from that movie. What was the name? Anyway, what a performance and i agree they were an innovative, phenomenal act leading the New Wave scene.
Yes but in the movie they did not yet take the name missing persons they were called Terry and the ruff riders. ....... And the black and the white dude had absolutely nothing to do with this band they couldn't even fake it good. 😂😂😂😂
Me too as a kid ❤ early 80s was the best can't never get enough even though I graduated in 1991 my favorite hit from Missing persons BLACK CONSERVATIVE OLD SCHOOL LOVER 1980-1988
Early 80s all the way! Early MTV and really cool New Wave Music that has stood the test of time. Not to mention some Legendary Bands from earlier Eras had some of their best songs (Who, Rolling Stones, Golden Earring).
That Caca... I mean Gaga stole her image, style and movements and when asked about her doing that, she said... "Oh Dale of Missing Persons was my inspiration and i imitated her"... Yeah right! 😂
I still have my EP of Missing Persons on vinyl lp album. I can't say how many times I've played that record at parties trying to get ppl interested in this awesome totally gnarly band. Loved since the beginning. Thanks for posting. now if I could only find this movie my life would be complete. Lunch Box-Truck-Wagon. Dale, Terry and Warren are incredible.
I remember hearing this the first time, on a Southern California fm station, heading north out of LA on The 5 ... blew my freakin' mind 🤯 ... had no clue who it was ... it launched me on a quest to figure it out and I finally did! Wasn't so easy in 1981 but as soon as I did, b-lined it to Warehouse ot Tower and secured the 4 track ep ... still have it, along with their full album releases ... absolutely love Missing Persons. Saw them (well, Dale and the current lineup) a the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena a couple years ago ... pretty great to see live again after so many years. Happy I got to see the original lineup back in '83 ... phenomenal! Thanks for posting this ... there's more Missing Persons stuff than I figured I would find here on UA-cam ... love it! Rock On, my dude!
Wow you too? I couldn't believe it when I read your comment. I turned 20 in 82 and my 20's were an incredibly difficult time for me. Thanks I don't feel so alone now.
Freaking beyond great. The embodiment of the entire SoCal early 80's scene. I was there. In Hollywood living at The Lido at Yucca & Wilcox just down from Fredrick's of Hollywood. The Fraz in the morning on KLOS...Funniest morning show ever.
Halloween night, 1983 , second row from stage, Bronco Bowl in Dallas !!!!!! She wore silver spandex pants, and 2 clear plastic cups, with 2 small straps of fabric inside the cups, barely covering her AMAZING breasts !!!!! And the music was pretty amazing too !!!
Missing Persons, in their prime, were one of the best, technically adept groups from the 80s. Although their style was different, I'd put them up there with Talk Talk.
They remind me of the craziest times in the 80s with a petite gorgeous wild blonde. I never understood why they weren't bigger.. I lived the 80s. I was a drumner and lord the fun..Crazy and even dangerous...lol
This was a movie called lunch truck ? I think . I watched it on cable TV @ my sister's house when I was a kid and somehow it got me interested in classical and jazz music. Great band .
In all my years, I don't recall learning of this group, but only some of the members. I like this song. Sort of "The Pretenders" sound sound and feeling to it. Cool stuff! 😎
Terry understood how to drive the tempo beautifully. If your song isn't grooving, try purposely pushing the tempo a nudge. Nine times outta ten it's gonna fix the problem.
Man, I miss the 80’s… good music, we helped each other, no( or not much) racism. Sex, drugs, rick&roll.
Totally agree!
The drums in this song are fucking sick. Bozzio is a beast.
He's a mindblowing drummer, but isn't really doing a whole lot in this tune other than keeping the beat. That said, I think restraint with drummers has become a lost art.
I miss the 80s man. You have no idea how much fun it was to live through them as a teen unless you did
That’s teens in every era, the ones who survive anyway.
Today's teens will be saying the same thing about now when the 2060's roll around.
@@scarpfishuhhh....don't think so. 2000's are nothing but a soyboys shit show.
@@scarpfish But will anybody remember the 2020's music in 2060? doubt so.
Dale is such a natural beauty all the way around.
Yeah right, must be all that ‘natural’ bleach blonde hair.
@@markharding9263 So what if her hair is dyed? He was most likely talking about with and without the make up. No need to be a pillock.
@@SarahTheMiddleEarthling Pillock, haha what a quaint term. I’m not saying she’s not beautiful, just not natural. In case you are not aware, a lot of guys don’t realize, like thedaves perhaps……
Then you haven't seen her lately, she drastically changed for the worst, like if you see her now you'll lose your lunch 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@glennquagmire1747 what's wrong with her? She is still beautiful
Terry Bozzio drumming on this song was awesome.
total understatement. these were the best.
Yes, He's an amazing intellectual artist.
hell yes - Terry is one of the sickest drummers ever.
Zappa’s “kids”:)
Clip from the film "Lunch Wagon"

you were at that show??!! Legendary!
I was there too- what a weekend! I remember the Stray Cats just killed it, and Bono climbing the light scaffolding.
That concert was JUDAS priest best sounding show ever
Dale has always been gorgeous at 4'11" and Terry Bozzio is such a genius on the drums
She’s only 4’11?
Dale looks absolutely gorgeous without all the makeup and her hair wild!!
My name is Dail if id married her which one would respond if our name was called out
Seriously????? She was not a good looking woman.
@@nathandodge665Whatever incel.
@@SarahTheMiddleEarthling ok Karen
Dale was fucking incredible,,,,yes the whole band were great , especially her husband drummer,,but she was the one who really made them rock ❤ her so much.
Helluva shoulders workout with the keys.
Lord, take me back to the past
She is still gorgeous without all the make up!! Still so pretty!
seeing her in regular clothes is a trip!!!!

yeah but Zappa sucked, quit lionizing a dbag that wrote crappy weird music. There I said what everyone was thinking.

Yup. So correct. These guys took Zappa's adventurism in a new direction, with new vigor--genius drumming and guitar.
i just watched that debut clip the other day from that movie. What was the name? Anyway, what a performance and i agree they were an innovative, phenomenal act leading the New Wave scene.
He is a monster just like Bozzio
Whenever I see a keyboardist trying to rock out on stage I can't help but laugh.
This was from a movie called Lunch Wagon 1981, great footage of Missing Persons! Thanks for showing this.
I remember that movie- the first tit shaking 80s movie on cable I saw
Yes but in the movie they did not yet take the name missing persons they were called Terry and the ruff riders. ....... And the black and the white dude had absolutely nothing to do with this band they couldn't even fake it good. 😂😂😂😂
I remember I was already a fan when I saw the movie and was laughing so hard and yet felt pretty cool seeing them at this stage of their career
Yes… back when women were women, and were proud of that.
Seeing the band looking...normal...for the first time.
I prefer that look on her...... she's beautiful.
What's normal now a days.🔥🏍️
Looks like Jefferson from Married with Children on keyboard..
Nobody likes you.
Possibly before they'd agreed on the group image to portray ????!!!
great clip of early 80s movies we used to rent as kid...plus the great missing persons.....early 80s were the best!
Me too as a kid ❤ early 80s was the best can't never get enough even though I graduated in 1991 my favorite hit from Missing persons BLACK CONSERVATIVE OLD SCHOOL LOVER 1980-1988
I agree

The first half the eighties was so much fun….great music
Always thought this song 🎧 rocked 🤘😎 and I seen the movie Lunch Wagon in the theaters 🎭
Terry Bozzio is one hell of a drummer!
The resemblance between Dale and Gaga is striking.
That Caca... I mean Gaga stole her image, style and movements and when asked about her doing that, she said... "Oh Dale of Missing Persons was my inspiration and i imitated her"... Yeah right! 😂
She is gorgeous here.
gotta love that 2x4 guitar
That's a VOX Winchester.
@@flyinwalenda thanks I was going to ask hoping someone knew
Missing Persons is a favorite band to this day.
Wow! Memories come flooding back... I haven't heard this song in 40 years.
The Smashing Pumpkins drive away with the truck at the end
I see what you did there.
I still have my EP of Missing Persons on vinyl lp album. I can't say how many times I've played that record at parties trying to get ppl interested in this awesome totally gnarly band. Loved since the beginning. Thanks for posting. now if I could only find this movie my life would be complete. Lunch Box-Truck-Wagon. Dale, Terry and Warren are incredible.
Early, tight, exciting phase of New Wave - when it still had a lot of punk sticking to it. Must have blown up the radio in 1980-81
Frank Zappa trained.
I remember hearing this the first time, on a Southern California fm station, heading north out of LA on The 5 ... blew my freakin' mind 🤯 ... had no clue who it was ... it launched me on a quest to figure it out and I finally did!

Good to know somebody else thinks the same way about this song; so many musical queues birthed from punk rock in this song.
Yes, for me I heard them on KROQ FM ...Southern California early 80's...if I remember correctly.
never blew up radio. THey had one hit that barely did anything. Prog guys trying to jump on the band wagon.
I was in my 20s in the 80s. One of the toughest periods of my life. But Missing Persons helped make it tolerable. Thanks for the upload.
Wow you too? I couldn't believe it when I read your comment. I turned 20 in 82 and my 20's were an incredibly difficult time for me. Thanks I don't feel so alone now.

Absolutely one of my ALL TIME favorite songs !
Mine too
This is from the movie Lunch Wagon, 1981.
Teddi and the rough riders. Dale is gorgeous.
I’m glad they made this video for posterity and UA-cam is the only place to see it.
Thanks!
that damn Warren so frikkin good at this job.
Terry is such a great drummer. You gotta be great if Frank Zappa recruits you for tours.
I'm sure Meister Zappa gave the Bozzio his blessing to form a Prog Pop band and we all benefitted from it!
This was after Terry played with UK.
If I'm not mistaken Frank suggested Dale & Terry do it.
Good times in the 80’s!
It's weird seeing those three extras in the band and the pedestrian fashion before Dale went Aquanet and bubble wrap.
Three extras?! Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis? Only the bassist and keyboardist are "extras". The rest of the band is Terry, Dale and Warren.
Funny how Cuccurello is warming up with country sounds on a New Wave guitar.
What kind of guitar is he using exactly
Love this video.
Dale is wonderful💥
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dale is beautiful!
This version is so ill-they were HEAVYYYYYY
Halloween night, 1983 , second row from stage, Bronco Bowl in Dallas !!!!!!
She wore silver spandex pants, and 2 clear plastic cups, with 2 small straps of fabric inside the cups, barely covering her AMAZING
breasts !!!!!
And the music was pretty amazing too !!!
I never heard of that movie but that singer is gorgeous
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC!! 80'S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
Missing Persons, in their prime, were one of the best, technically adept groups from the 80s. Although their style was different, I'd put them up there with Talk Talk.
I can dig it
This tune rips
I wish I could go back in time and had the screensaver on as the song played... that's rough... goosebumps.
They remind me of the craziest times in the 80s with a petite gorgeous wild blonde. I never understood why they weren't bigger.. I lived the 80s. I was a drumner and lord the fun..Crazy and even dangerous...lol
Wow! This is one of my favorite songs.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
I❤ this band!
This is from the 80's movie "Lunch Wagon". Loved Missing Persons...
I❤ her!
Oh how I miss the halter top ❤🔥☮️🤘🏻
Squeak singing at it's best.
Dale Bozzio looking just like Lady GaGa but 30 years before
I remember they were in the movie H.O.T.S
It was the Lunch Wagon, another skinamax classic
Pamela Jean Bryant was in both H.O.T.S. and Lunch Wagon.
Great Band
Lady gaga and Gwen Stefani should be sending Dale Bozio royalties
Increíble the octtave note of her voice
One of my favorites!❤
Brings back, so many great memories!
Love it
"Cute Persons" is what Frank Zappa said they should call themselves.
Dale looks even more beautiful normal 💓
Such a Great band!!!
Literally watching this right now on vhs.
Behind the curtin are Bozzios other 8 drum kits 1 for each song depending on the tom fills needed
straight outta zappa
yeah,. amazing they took nothing away from it, and instead watered it all down.
Not just my favorite song from them but most certainty my favorite video. Love the rawness.
They should have played live aid
Remember this movie lunch wagon
Definitely one of the most underrated rated bands of that era. No doubt, Gaga, the list goes on but they were all influenced by Missing Persons
This was a movie called lunch truck ? I think . I watched it on cable TV @ my sister's house when I was a kid and somehow it got me interested in classical and jazz music. Great band .
no Dale Bozzio no Lady Gaga
Great band ❤🤘
Only have a few songs by them but this is my favorite.
And the Oscar goes to....
In all my years, I don't recall learning of this group, but only some of the members.
I like this song. Sort of "The Pretenders" sound sound and feeling to it. Cool stuff! 😎
Dale 💗
I had fantasies with Dale...❤❤❤
So did Warren. Hence the band breaking up.
Wow I've never seen this one. Amazing.
never saw this thx
so freaking cool.
Best thing I found on the interwebs today
That's that nineteen eighties getting the job done right music.
Muchas gracias por compartir saludos desde Lima Perú.
De nada.

Her hustler pics rocked my puberty!
This is that lunchbox film
0:22, um, whats that guy doing???? LOL
Now after all these years, Harley Quinn singing every missing person lp😮😊
Bozio rockin the drums and vocals.!
Bozzio. 2 z's
"I painted my car! Did a great job with a roller and a brush!" - Mike DeRukie, probably.
Cool😮
Terry understood how to drive the tempo beautifully.

so crazy how terry did it!
