"People" is a song by New Zealand group Mi-Sex, released in March 1980 as the lead single from their second studio album, Space Race (1980). The song peaked at number 3 in New Zealand and 6 in Australia.
"People" was released at a time when the world was coming to grips with cloning, genetic engineering and test tube babies. The video showcases the band’s well honed combination of techno-pop and the more straight ahead rock’n’roll beloved of Australian pub audiences — with some visual special effects reserved for the future shock of the spoken segment.
