Fitting for the glitzy age of disco, Marty Rhones sports a striking white jumpsuit in this clip from his music video 'The Things We Did Last Night' from his 1977 self-titled album.

Scenes of his sequins glittering against a dark studio set are intercut with split-screen effects and location shots that evoke the song's nostalgia over a life-changing night of romance. The clip reflects the rise of music videos in 1970s Australia and their stylistic evolution. Tracks were accompanied by short promotional films, often made with modest production values. Broadcast on music shows like Countdown and Sounds, they eventually helped pave the way for the MTV era in the '80s and beyond.
