Timbuk 3 ~ The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Classic pop, but the schtick of playing your background tracks through a boombox just wasn't going to translate well in any venue that sat more than 100 people.

I don't know anything about their performance style. I just remember the song and seeing the video all the time. They had another music video that wasn't shown that much, but I don't remember what the song was called.
