Have you ever wanted to see Rose McDowall and Clare Grogan competing in a Space Invaders-type game that doesn't really work? Then it's your lucky day. 40 years ago today, Strawberry Switchblade went on ITV's morning kids' show Wide Awake Club.

Strawberry Switchblade were there to promote their forthcoming single Who Knows What Love Is. As always with a kids' TV show, they had to do some cheesy stuff.

"See these eyes" - Altered Images

Something something top of the hats.

Clare spinning like a dervish, and though the song isn't much of a novelty, the visuals are striking. Any band with a squeezebox always looks more friendly.

It was written by the band's lead #guitarist and principal songwriter #GaryKemp to express his feelings for #AlteredImages lead singer #ClareGrogan. Kemp was influenced musically by songs of #MarvinGaye and #AlGreen he was listening to at the time, and lyrically by Green and #theBeatles.
