Goody Two Shoes (song) - Wikipedia
The video presents a stylised vision of a day in the life of Adam Ant, from dressing in the morning to performing on stage, to being hounded by the media. At the end of the day, he takes home a woman journalist played by British actress Caroline Munro,[12] in effect answering the song's theme question, "What do you do?" The video also starred Graham Stark and Dandy Nichols as the butler and cleaning woman.[13] The DJ Norman Cook, then unknown, appears as a porter.[14]
