**Pickn Up Girls; ~In The 1980s~ One of the pleasures of listening to the SIT80s podcast is listening to the sad sack stories of the co-hosts and listeners reliving their teenage days of foiled dates. If only we could go back to 1983 and heed the advice of The Little Girls and How To Pick Up Girls. The Little Girls were Caron and Michelle Maso, a short-lived sister act from the San Fernando Valley, who gained airplay on KROQ with a few singles including How To Pick Up Girls. The song and video is a slice of power pop/new wave heaven as video highlights include the cute sisters suffering the lame pick up lines that clueless guys subjected girls to in the ‘80s. In the video, the Little Girls mock the million-selling 1970 book How To Pick Up Girls by Eric Weber who was profiled by People magazine in this 1981 article. The Little Girls recording career was short but their lyrics to another song, The Earthquake Song, were included in the book Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis. The Maso sisters advice was apparently heeded as they are both now married with kids. [How To Pick Up Girls - 1983 MUSIC VIDEO]
