Nervous Night

Nervous Night is a 1986 film starring American rock band The Hooters and directed by John Charles Jopson.

Background
As a follow-up to The Hooters' 1985 Columbia Records debut album Nervous Night, a film of the same title was produced by Bell One Productions. Nervous Night was shot on 35mm film and intercuts two separate elements: a concert filmed at the Tower Theater outside Philadelphia, and a series of short films, each one starring a different band member.

The highly stylized short films were shot on days off while the band toured the Pacific Northwest and includes scenes filmed in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. The concert includes performances of their hit songs "All You Zombies," "Time After Time" (a No. 1 song for Cyndi Lauper that was co-written by band member Rob Hyman), "And We Danced," and "Day By Day."

The VHS release by CBS/Fox Video did not contain the short films; however, portions of the shorts were included in the "Day By Day" music video. MTV aired the version with the short films in the summer of 1986 as part of their Feature Presentation series.
