BILLY IDOL. BtVS Intertext/Allusion.

Billy Idol is the quintessential British punk rocker of the 80s said by Buffy in "Sleeper" to have stolen his trademark bleach-blonde hair and sneer from Spike.

 

Buffy: . . . . I need some help. I’m looking for this guy. Bleach-blonde hair, leather jacket, British accent? Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?

Bouncer: Yeah, yeah, I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?

Buffy: ACTUALLY, Billy Idol stole his look from – never mind. Has he been here?

Bouncer: This guy your boyfriend or something?

Buffy: No, I - ! just – I need to find him, as soon as possible.

Bouncer: Yeah, he comes in here a lot lately. Every night leaves with a different girl. Chicks like Billy Idol.
