Dweezil and Moon Unit were the elder children of Frank Zappa, and frequent MTV VJs. They did a couple of singles together - this Dweezil-penned antiwar song being their best known collaboration, from 1986, when it received a lot of MTV airplay. Look for the Frank Zappa cameo at around the 2:03 mark of the video, by the way - as well as a LOT of other celebrity cameos (I count no less than 6).
I was a teenage boy. I was watching for Moon Unit.
By the way, Dweezil was 17 in this video, and reportedly wrote this song when he was 15. The WHOLE song - lyrics and music.
Moon Unit, of course, is better known for her appearance on their father's single "Valley Girl", but this is an objectively better song.

1 July 2020 - Robin Sparkles - Let's Go To The Mall
Yes, this is really Cobie Smulders singing this. I figured, let's just put that right out there.
If you are a fan of the TV Show How I Met Your Mother, you know this song well. It's possibly more iconic than the show itself - and it endures to this day, several years after the show left the air.
I mean, everybody loves going to the mall. Let this song rock your body until Canada Day (which happens to be today).
These's one more thing.

Oh, if you had doubts about my claim that it actually was Cobie Smulders.... as part of all this COVID-19 fun we're all having, she recorded an updated and quarantine-appropriate version.....
