And now it's coming to the end of my second #JukeboxFridayNight in a row since I crossed the #InternationalDateline, here is "Big In Japan" by Alphaville for the theme #SurfingTheNewWave. I am choosing this song because it popped into my head out of apparent randomness. Feel free to assign any cosmic significance to this event of your choosing.

OK, it's still Friday night where I am, and no one has posted Japan. This obviously needs to be corrected.

Have just arrived in Rarotonga which means it is #JukeboxFridayNight again 🥳

Here is Information Society with "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)" for #SurfingTheNewWave

Fun fact: this song made me finally watch the entire Star Trek: TOS because I wanted to place the sampled quotes

Utterly brilliant Japanese new wave surf rock. This is the original video that was shown on SCTV (I believe it was made for the show) and it is delightful.

"So I went down to the soda shop
Man you should have seen the traffic stop
Ain't they never seen the walking dead before?
I'm just a kid, the zombie next door"

"Lawnchairs are EVERYWHERE
They're everywhere
My mind describes them to me"

The music is pretty basic early synthpop but somehow combining it with that lyric just gives it that incredibly memorable oddness a lot of songwriters strive for and never achieve.
