Dale, Terry, and Warren play members of "Teddy and the Ruff Riders,"
a band. Patrick and Chuck do not appear in the movie. Band name at the time was
"U.S. Drag," and that is how they are credited at the end (though on
the box it says "Missing Persons"). Dale plays "Teddy" and
gets a few scenes, and Terry & Warren also have a line or two. "Mental
Hopscotch" is used as movie's theme song and both it and "I Like Boys"
are lipsynched throughout the movie as the band soundchecks and performs at the
club. Band is shown driving around, unloading equipment, performing, and sitting
at tables watching other acts, and Teddy gets into a catfight.The other two band
members (bass & keyboards) and band manager are not actually MP members--they
are actors who have bigger roles in the movie. The movie is a Playboy Playmate
feature.

Warren released this
free download to his fans exclusively on the Missing Persons Website in the summer
of 2001. In this amazing and extremely rare live video, the band improvises and
has fun at the end of a show. This is a VERY early, pre-signing Missing Persons
- you will notice that it's Terry, Dale, Warren and Chuck, without Patrick. Warren's
on guitar, but Terry's playing zither, and Dale even takes a shot at playing drums!
It's truly something that fans will want to add to their collection. Download
it here or catch it on the Lost Tracks album (enhanced CD including
this video).
