From 1979, please enjoy the fabulous Finn Brothers, Neil and Tim, in one of their earlier incarnations as Split Enz, and their wonderfully frenetic Farfisa-driven New Wave pop hit "I See Red."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

Aussie art rockers?
Oh, and the Finn Brothers are way cool.
Yes they are, but no.
:-)
"Visionary" songs? Wokka! Wokka!
songs that reference colors?
Bands from unlikely locations, such as New Zealand
Best song by a group with family members?
Thanks for the video. Quite a vivid slice of that era.
Yes, great video.
So it's, as previoulsy nted, songs about color.
Or, it's songs with piano solos.
Or, perhaps it;s bands that whose names are spelled with fractured English/double entendres.
Songs of ANGER!!!!!

No, no, no, no, no and no. Have I left out a no?
Seriously -- lots of good guesses, a couple of which I will probably steal.
Songs from before they were famous?
Songs about things you see, for example, red.
Devo-esqe video personas?
Geek rockers?
Band with uniforms?
No, and no.
Here's a hint: It has something to do with the band name.
Fish-themed bands?
Body parts?
Here's a hint: It has something to do with the band name.
Perhaps something to do with bands that have split up? Since that's too broad a guess, I'll go with Best Band Reunions. Or Band Reunions That Should Occur. Or, if we're into vitriol as in last week's Listomania, Band Breakups That Should Occur.
I think I remember reading somewhere the name Split Enz references their leaving New Zealand, they Split N.Z.
So, best bands with punning names?
Good bands with bad hair? (Spilt Ends/Enz)
ROTP(lumber)
bands that broke up and made better music as solo artists
Literary references?
Misspelled groups or song titles?

Close enough, my friend. Hair it is.
Your coveted PowerPop No-Prize is wending its way to you via planaria patrol even as we speak!
Hey, how about some hair (good or bad) for the top of my head.
