The Monochrome Set was one of my favorite postpunk bands. They were witty and arch and they made a lot of fun of the rich. This is from their 1982 album, Eligible Bachelors, which for my money is one of the best power-pop records ever made. The best song on the disc, "The Devil Rides Out," has no accompanying video or live performance online. The album also features one of the funniest songs ever, "The Mating Game." It's NSFW.
