This clip from the late 80s US show Night Music, which featured jazz and experimental music legends like Brandford Marsalis and Yoko Ono features a fabulous cast of musical characters. Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bongwater and the Pussywillows perform "You Don't Love Me Yet" by Roky Erickson. Doesn't get any better or weirder than this!
PS: I auditioned for the Pussywillows but they chose another singer and then the Pussywillows broke up and the founding member Elinor became April March. Even though they were short-lived the 'Willows had great potential. This is one of my favorite songs by this precursor to punky girl-groups like Best Coast and the Dum Dum Girls:
