No prob.
The whole clip is amazingly evocative of the early 80s.

Punk Bar?
….I never knew that. That was really a cool video. It looked like the girl with “Cub fever” during the day was the punk singer at the end by night. Thanks for sharing

Actually, I'm the little dude with the mohawk who appears at 1:56.
I was around 14 at the time.

Daver: didn't they have color (chroma) back in the 1980s?
I was there. I’m almost sure I remember producing TV in color then… ;)

Definitely had color.
Miami Vice wouldn’t have been the same without it.

Click through to the actual YouTube clip and you'll find the answer:
This is from a 23 year old VHS tape so the quality is poor and the color was lost during conversion.
