Musical Interlude: Praying to a New God (1989)

Wang Chung's last hit never made it into the top 40 in 1989, but the video might leave an indelible impression.

"Praying to a New God" was the only single to come off the CD, "The Warmer Side of Cool", and is also the first track on the CD. The band broke up two years later, and after side projects with other parties, Jack Hues & Nick Feldman reformed Wang Chung in 1997. They're definitely on the nostalgia circuit, methinks.

Look quick for a couple of cameos by MTV doll Martha Quinn, each for about a second or two. Martha had returned to MTV for her 2nd tour of duty a few months before "Warmer" came out.
