From the Album Take a Chance (1988)

Ardijah evolved from a South Auckland-based covers band to the pioneers of a sound their bassist Ryan Monga labelled Poly Fonk. 'Give Me Your Number' is the band's first original single, showcasing all their strengths — sweet vocals from Monga's wife Betty-Anne, synths, electronic drum pads and Monga's distinctive bass playing. Keyboardist Simon Lynch has cited pop maestro Prince as a key influence on Monga. This single and video (filmed at Avalon Studios) backs that up — there's coordinated outfits, choreographed moves and a blistering guitar solo.
