Don't know about you, but Split Enz was one of my favorite bands from 1980, so much that I have two copies of this record with two different colour schemes.
They'd been around since 1975, but I never knew about them until this 1980 LP came out called "True Colours"
This is just good music, and I suggest just listening to it instead of watching their video. Some songs just don't need videos, and this is one of them!
"I Got You" was one of my introductions to New Wave, and it's still a killer tune. The Finn Brothers (who co-led Split Enz) definitely knew how to write short, angular, catchy songs . . . which was confirmed when brother Neil subsequently started Crowded House and had enormous success on their very first single.
