You are a far more decent person than me.

I would not have been able to keep the phrase "GIANT RED CODPIECE!" out of the title. In an imitative industry, it is notable that no other band ever picked up on the codpiece.

Wow. Jethro Tull blazed a lot of paths.

And yet Cameo didn't nick the flute idea from them. A good flute solo would have given Cameo a second single.

gorgonheap has fixed this video's dead embed code - no star awarded because gorgonheap was awarded too recently.
