Don't know why but feel if I don't identify the song and listen to it I can't do anything productive today!

I'll give you what I can...

The music video is set in amongst sand dunes, mid 70's i'd say. Got a reggae feel to it. The band has a singer with a short soul-glow fro playing keyboards and a singer slappin' da bass with Boris Johnson hair (possibly singing about not wanting to go to work or war).

The video has sections where the sand dune scene is played along side a b&w video of possibly minstrels dancing?

Any ideas?

For what it's worth Level 42 started life on andy Sokja's (RIP) hugely credible Elite label which released some classic british disco/funk by atmosfear/3rd army & Powerline etc The fist release they did when they left Elite was Starchild which became a bit of a Larry Levan classic at the Paradise Garage.

Looking back it's so bizarre...

They were bloody awful though. Very bad songs... and why did anyone ever let Mark King SING?

Yeah the credibility Level 42 fleetingly had very quickly evaporated.
