"She Looks A Lot Like You" by Clocks
Clocks was a rock group from Kansas that mysteriously evaded the big time in the 80s. Their tunes had a touch of that trademark "new wave" sound, and this song got considerable airplay in the early days of MTV. "She Looks A Lot Like You" would only reach #67 in 1982, but it didn't set off anyone's alarms and the Clocks quickly fell into obscurity.
Rumor has it that the band was nearly chased off the stage opening for Black Sabbath in 1980. Whoever came up with that pairing must have been high as a kite.
