I haven't seen this thing since 1985, when it was produced! It's a
music video of the song "Double Oh-Oh/Bullet Proof" from the album
Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends (1985). It features a foxy female
secret agent whose main disguise is as "Bob." (Seriously.) A Dobbsish-
looking actor plays "Bob." The word "sub-genius" is also referenced in
a -- heh -- SUB-title.

Here's some detailed info re: the album, though "Bob" is not
mentioned.

I can't find the video on YouTube. If anybody knows a way to download
a copy of this, and could get a copy to me, I would be forever
grateful. At the very least I would be grateful any time I was
reminded of it.

George Clinton was turned onto "Bob" by Rev. Pedro Bell (who did many
of the album covers), who in turn was turned by St. Byron Werner, who
in turn was turned by Rev. Robert Williams (the lowbrow fine arts
painter and underground cartoonist).

I also added the video to my MySpace page:
