The music video for the song , featuring live footage of the band filmed at the now-demolished Exton Drive-In in Exton , Pennsylvania in the summer of 1985 , was nominated for the Best New Artist in a Video award at the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards . One of the members is shown playing a Hohner melodica ( the " hooter " from whence the band got their name ) , a reed instrument played by mouth with keyboard notes which can be fingered to produce a harmonica-like sound . The 1975 Orleans hit " Dance With Me " also features a melodica solo prominently in the recording , although in live instances their keyboardist mounted the instrument flat on a desktop to be fingered as a conventional keyboard instrument with a plastic hose extension to reach the player 's mouth from a sitting position . Furthermore , Cyndi Lauper 's version of " Money Changes Everything " includes a melodica solo . ( Members of The Hooters were present on Lauper 's breakout album '' She 's So Unusual '' )
