Apollonia 6 - Happy Birthday Mr. Christian

This video pop up on You Tube about 2 years ago very very much 80's style kinda of cheesy but fits with the times. It has been stated that other than Sex Shooter, Blue Limousine was suppose to be the next Video off the Apollonia 6 album but never materialized. Happy Birthday Mr. Christian's storyline and plot is a trip, with Apollonia, Brenda, And Susan playing schoolgirls getting a will read to them from the dearly departed Mr. Christian who leaves them nothing. Mr. Christian tells them they don't know what hard work is and need to basically get jobs which they do, from a Restaurant, a Grocery Store, and a Car Mechanic's Garage. Then when it's all said and done Mr. Christian emerges from his Limo and tells them it was a prank for his Birthday I guess the dude wanted to have some fun lol. Nonetheless the girls jump in the car and the party is on and popping, from the looks of this short film it never went beyond a rough cut which in some respects I see why still it's entertaining. Music in this video is slamming featuring Happy Birthday Mr. Christian, Sex Shooter, Ooo She She Wa Wa, and Blue Limousine off of the Apollonia 6 LP. You can check out the video on You Tube for the time being links posted below Enjoy.
