I don't think they're too horrible, there were a few groups that had a song with a Motown sound in the 80's, like The Jam (A Town Called Malice), Katrina and The Wave etc etc. Why Jo Boxer dressed that way I thought they were paying an homage to Our Gang, or maybe Liverpudlian shipyard workers, either way it was a bit nostalgia, I guess.
