Within months, music videos became a must-have for artists, and a punky/new wave clip found a home on MTV's early playlist. The song was ”Working Girl” by The Members, and nearly 45 years later it remains an iconic part of MTV’s introduction of British new wave sounds to American viewers—even if it isn’t as well remembered as other music videos.
“Working Girl” was written about Tesco’s girlfriend Annie Day, per a post on The Members website, along with the explanation, “Being a musician it is very important to be in a relationship with someone who has a regular income.”
Carroll also revealed that for the music video, the band hired professional models to play the 9-to-5 girlfriends of the scraggly Members bandmates. He told The Irish Times that while shooting the video, the models refused to speak to the band between takes.
Just as MTV was introducing The Members to American audiences, the band split following a U.S. tour in 1983. More than 40 years later, “Working Girl” remains The Members’ biggest U.S. success—and a forgotten MTV gem that helped shape the network’s diverse musical history.
