On Orange is the New Black, Norma Romano may be Red's mute former sidekick, but offscreen she's far from silent.
In the ultimate #TBT discovery, Jim DeRogatis of WBEZ.org unearthed actress Annie Golden's hard-rocking past as lead singer of The Shirts, a power pop band that headlined New York's CBGB's in the 1970s.
Though The Shirts were known for a more punk rock sound, Golden's closest attempt at a hit was 1984's "Hang Up the Phone," a sugary pop song featured on the Sixteen Candles soundtrack.
Watch Golden dance her heart out in one of the most quintessentially '80s music videos ever, complete with neon leg warmers, sweat bands and questionable pairings of socks and high-heels.
Finally, Norma's impromptu musical performance in the Christmas pageant makes total sense.
