The band in "Valley Girl", as previously mentioned, was indeed The Plimsouls.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, The Plimsouls are a four-piece
power-pop and soul band from LA led by Peter Case.  Case used to be in a band
called The Nerves along with Paul Collins (of Paul Collins' Beat) and Jack
Lee (writer of "Hangin' on the Telephone" (first performed by The Nerves,
later covered by Blondie) and many other great pop tunes--see "Jack Lee's
Greatest Hits).  They put out one (very rare) four song 7".

The Plimsouls have put out a number of discs including:

     Zero Hour--EP--Beat Records
          Their first release, recently reissued as a French import.

     The Plimsouls--LP--Planet Records

     A Million Miles Away/I'll Get Lucky--12"--Shaky City Records

     Everywhere At Once--LP--Geffen
