"Ahead" and "The Ideal Copy" were the big college radio hits for Wire in '87, as you well know.
You know Wire -- they just had to bend the rules when it came to mainstream late-night shows. ; )

That is so fuckin odd! You know I didn't even know she had a late night tv show? It must of went off the air quick for I watched late night TV back then. And I don't remember that song being a hit on the radio? Not even on KXLU college radio.

"In the craziest TV appearance from 1986 . British Avant-Punk band Wire appear on a short lived late night talk show hosted by Suzanne Summers. Flash forward 24 years and Wire are still putting out great music but Summers is pimping product on late night infomercials."
