Our New Zealand music clip of the week is a fun "novelty song" from 1977 by the Dunedin band called Mother Goose and is called Baked Beans.   

 The band members dressed up in outrageous costumes, each member with their own trademark look, as you will see in the video clip.  The song was very popular and was played frequently on tv stations in Australia and New Zealand.
