The Lynnertic

Invisible Zoo on the set of the Music Video Nobody’s Girl

It’s so much fun to dig through boxes.

Left to right:
the lead actress Rita Corey, the video’s director, Invisible Zoo members Andy Robinson and Doug Lynner, their interpreter, and some other obscured people.

The Music Video for Invisible Zoo’s minor hit single Nobody’s Girl was filmed in 1983. Its back story is a sitcom: a sign language interpreter hired by the band misunderstands the lyrics to the song, and decides that singers Doug and Andy are insinuating that she is a tramp. Mortally offended, she sues, wins, and literally before they can turn around, Andy and Doug have lost everything to her and are exiled to obscurity. Bill Boydstun, above the fray, gets the girl.

The video is very funny, even if you don’t know sign language. Nobody’s Girl won a Governor’s Award for improving the employability of the disabled, or whatever. I’m not sure of its actual title, we must have it in another box somewhere.
