Question from a blog reader

[A2sportsguy]

I recently received this email from a blog reader:

"I have a question that I hope you can answer because it’s been driving me and my sister nuts! The song “ A Night in New York “ (from Elbow Bones and the Racketeers) is one we both remember but we thought the video featured 3 blondes and for some reason we thought they were The Coconuts from Kid Creole and The Coconuts. I have this image of them dancing on a roof top and also sitting in a 1940’s red convertible car. In your vast knowledge do you recall another cover of this tune or are we victims of flashbacks from watching way too many 80’s videos?"

I suggested Boomerang's "These Boots Were Made For Walkin'" , although I have never seen the video. But she didn't think it was it. Any thoughts? Or is it indeed "Boots"?

Yep, that's the Elbow Bones video -- looks like it takes place in the 40's, there is some dancing on the roof, and it was produced by August Darnell (Kid Creole).
