Title: Has anyone ever seen this?

Has anyone ever seen a video for Wall Of Voodoo's "Do It Again?" Is Brian in it?
His picture is on the sleeve of the 45, and the pictures look like video stills.

Yep.  Brian is in it.  He looks pretty scared.  I think that was the point.

I saw it, I think, twice on MTV, when it was originally out. I haven't seen it in about 20 years, so if anybody has corrections, please post them.

I believe the video was a parody on what Brian was going through at that time with Dr. Landy. You know, another "Brian is back", getting out of bed, exercising, etc. He looked good physically, extremely thin, no beard.

All I can remember specifically is Brian laying in bed with a disturbed look on his face, and then a quick cut to him, out of bed, doing curls with a barbell (?), with this strange, almost forced smile on his face. I can't remember much more, not even the song...

That's pretty much it, to the best of my memory.  I believe the video opens with shots of some of the BBs '60s album covers.
