The Pheremones 'Yuppie Drone' rarest 80s video?

Postby rockadelic » Sun Aug 13, 2006 3:25 pm

Does anyone have this video besides me?

I doubt this was ever played on MTV. USA's 'Night Flight' played
the entire video and I did rec it in 91 when the show was in
syndication on Fox 5 after midnight. A very fun video and song. A Sansui 551 box can be
seen at the start of the first line. Before they say 'Toot' the
waiter pulls out a vile of coke and lays out a huge line on the table
as the couple looks at the camera with the look of surprize on their
faces!

here be the lyrics.


I recently purchased a TEAC 4100X with 3 heads, 3 motors, and a
Sansui 3660, 45 watts per channel, Dolby X, DBX, hi-tech specs,
30 to 20000 hz so I can listen to adult contemporary music ...
cranked up to 3.

In my 3-level attached suburban townhouse with a community pool
and rec room, 495 p.i. year 1 through 3, 795 p.i. years 3 through
35, thousand others in the 3-blocks square, they don't know I'm
there ...
unless I park in their parking space.

I traded my GTO for a Jap Jet 300 ZX, then a BMW, 5-speed, A/C,
P/B, P/S, 2 bucket seats, sound system hurts my ears, goes fast (55),
personalized license plate that says "Sparky" (Sparky) (Sparky) ...
but it's in the shop.

[chorus]
Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone.
Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup-
Yuppie Drone


I wake up early with Mister Coffee, jump in the carpool with Fred
and Alice and Charlie so we can drive downtown, predawn, in the
express lane, HOV-4, 395, 6 a.m., it doesn't matter ...
it still takes an hour to go 5 miles.

I wear a suit and tie but I still have lots of T-shirts that I don't
wear - there's no time. I got out of college and freaked, so I
grabbed a job with a big corporation that treats me like POOP. But
I don't care 'cause the pay's OK and the benefits are great ...
Don't ask me what we make.

[chorus]

Me and my lady-person who I met at the happy hour, 4 to 7, at Chumley's
Bar downtown during a snowstorm last year. We both love margueritas
and Jimmy Buffet, TOOT, jogging, jacuzzis, and shopping at Dart Drug,
"Compare and Save," "We will not be undersold." ...
(You Bet!)

I trusted George in '72, hated Tricky Dicky with a passion, championed
the poor down-trodden masses. Don't call me middle-class. What's mine
is mine. I don't like war, but the bread is good. Ronnie's not so bad
as Fritz or Carter's hicks. Right is new, left is out, twist and
shout.
I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and
house. I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my
car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I
love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and

[chorus twice]



Just for reference, "395" is Interstate 395, which runs from the
interchange of I-95 and the Washington Beltway in Virginia to downtown
Washington, D.C., and like all good urban interstate spurs, is always
plagued with traffic. During rush hours, there is a carpool lane,
designated "HOV-4", meaning "High Occupancy Vehicles: minimum 4
persons".
Dart Drug is one of our Capital's biggest drug chains. They're open
24 hours, and you might be able to guess their ad slogans.
