When The Cat's Away

Synopsis

This big, bright cover of British act Blue Mink's plea for multi-racial harmony and a world of "coffee coloured people" was a chart-topping single for all female vocal group When the Cat's Away in November 1988. The self produced video is heavy on 80s fluoro colours and overexposed whites while the placement of the Cats around a single mic affords them plenty of chances to interact and enjoy each other's company. They're also seen out and about on Karangahape Road and at a rugby league test — but just what's on the car doesn't bear thinking about.
