Pat Wilson – Bop Girl (Australia 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Bop Girl” is the debut single by Australian pop singer Pat Wilson. The song was written by her husband, Ross Wilson of the bands Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock. “Bop Girl” was released in September 1983. It peaked at number 2 on the Australian Kent Music Report. At the 1983 Countdown Music Awards, the song won the award for ‘Best Debut Single’.

The music video was the screen debut of 15-year-old Nicole Kidman playing the role of a young “bop girl”. Chosen by director Gillian Armstrong, songwriter Ross recalled that Kidman was to represent “an up and coming starlet with a bright future”. Kidman herself insisted that the video be used for both a BBC documentary about her career, and also in an American Cinematheque tribute, with the result that the video returned to Australian music video playlists in 2004. The music video was shot in South Coogee.
