Blotto - "I Wanna Be A Lifeguard" (forgotten song)

Since the Memorial Day Weekend officially marks the beginning of beach season, today we'll feature Blotto and their 1980 song "I Wanna Be A Lifeguard", which first appeared on their 1979 EP "Hello, My Name Is Blotto, What's Yours?".  Normally one would not hear a song like this outside of the Dr. Demento show, but since they had a video (recall that videos were in rare supply at the time!) it received a fair amount of airplay in the early days of MTV (it was the #36 video on MTV's first day). 

Enjoy the summer & this forgotten song!
