'Black Planet' by the English rock band, Sisters of Mercy, written by Andrew Eldritch and Wayne Hussey and taken from the 1985 album, First and Last and Always.
The song is dark, but surprisingly catchy -'Black Planet, Black World!' , - and the interesting, if not inspired use of the Monkeemobile in the video denotes a complete antithesis to the custom car's original purpose, promoting an optimistic comedy/musical series about an aspiring pop group.
The Monkeemobile in the video has small alterations to how it was in the TV series - raised yellow detail around the main headlights, and tinted side windows. Apart from that, still looking as cool as ever!
My grateful thanks to reader Dave C for bringing this video and the song to my attention.
