A clip from “The Scene” in 1982 with Shari Vari by A Number of Names – one of the cuts that started it all. Perhaps the get-ups could serve as inspiration for the next Paradise Lost party.

Some bread and cheese and fine white wine
Designer chic is a matter of time
Could this be the real thing?
Or is this just another fling?
Seen by millions nationally
L’uomo, Vogue, Playgirl, G Quarterly
Because he’s down on his etiquette
Shari Vari is really it

Chorus
Shari Vari
Shari Shari Vari

Smoking on his cigarette
Listening to his car cassette
Cruising with his hot playmate
In his Porsche Nine Two Eight
Heading for the highest heights
For the climax of the night
The people there they just won’t quit
Because the music’s really it

Chorus
Shari Vari

Because the music is really it
