Black Saab 99 Turbo Featured in Human League's "Don't You Want Me, Baby?" Video
Okay, I grew up in the MTV generation and remember this video clearly from
my first summer of hours watching MTV, I believe it was around 1982 or 83.
Same time frame Flock of Seagulls, U2, and Devo were frequently on. Best
discovery of that era was the Clash. It was a trip down memory lane when I
ran across a site that showed the Black Saab 99 Turbo was featured in the
video.
