    I performed a lip-synch / dance performance to this song at a talent show when I was in 8th grade. I dressed all in black, made a set of white shoulder-pads out of poster-board, and made my own piano/keytar, complete with a leather strap and painted-on keys, out of 3/4" plywood. (It looked more like an artist's palette, but it did the job.) I got a nice ovation, and the highlight of my junior high school life was that the HOTTEST 9th grade cheerleader, Stephanie Angevine, signed my yearbook that year and complimented me on my performance. She said, "I liked your talent show thingy." As a 5 foot 1, 145 pound butterball, I thought..."I'm gonna MARRY that girl!!!"

    What new and old fans need to do is every so often just listen to the albums and realize how damn good the songs were . They weren't doing all the visual stuff because they were covering for a lack of writing and playing skills. It was a way to supplement it. They are a top notch rock band

    Yes, this seems a very rare instance of the b'hoys performing on national teevee -- and about the only instrument that was plugged in and real was Mark's microphone. Watch Bob 2's playing and note that they rarely (if ever) used those keyboards in actual live performances. He is, as always, a good actor though.
    Creepy -- this was the beginning of the end for them -- but there are some interesting interviews floating around out there of this very visit to NYC. diligent spud will find 'em.

    I asked Mark about the origin of the band's name. Mark told me that humankind was de-evoluting and that things were going to break down. He also said to me, "If we are around thirty years from now, look me up and see if I wrong." Mark was (and remains) a prophet of sorts. Besides all that, Leonard and Sheldon like this song.

    The first 'new wave' song I ever heard in my life was their version of 'Satisfaction'. I didn't know what to think about it!

    @redheadedgolem - well, they don't make that mistake anymore. They're playing live everywhere they go. They've got a great publicist. They've hit Colbert, Letterman, and even Regis & Kelly. I love they're still around.
