After hearing the Bessie Banks version of "Go Now" on KPOO, I came across this original "promo clip" (as they were called back then) of the Moodies version.  Striking black-and-white cinematography, and reminiscent of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" vid 10 years later.  A real find if you've never seen it (I hadn't):

very cool.

couple slightly amusing user comments on YouTube:

gordon brown you better go now
GO NOW GO NOW,


I watch this video almost every day and I'm in Heaven!   (cool!  They have the internets in Heaven!)

Quite possibly the worst video ever.  Bad song, bad looks, bad fashion, bad concept, bad videography, bad singing - this song has it ALL.  Or rather, it has it NONE.

One of the famous commercial parodies from Putney Swope (a movie you must see if you never have). The young black guy is Ronnie Dyson!

Putney Swope is one of the two movies I list as favorites on Facebook.  I have the DVD and the VHS!  The current Raider, Justin Fargas, is the son of 'the arab' in the movie, who you guys probably know better as Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch, a show I never saw.

I couldn't resist adding this clip:

for shame!



no surprise that Snoop Dogg played HuggyBear in the big-screen remake:



when Swope came out in '69, I was too young to see an r or X rated movie, I caught up with it when I was in college -- but I remember there were radio commericals for it that used part of that song, with the phrase "dry hump" bleeped out!

I'd never heard of it until now - thank you both!  For some reason I want to watch it as a double feature with either Wild in the Streets or Myra Breckenridge.

mentioned yesterday in the Casey K thread, and (of course) found on YT: Mary Hopkin's version of "Que Sera Sera", produced unmistakably by McCartney in 1970 and just lovely:

This is just odd:

Hmmm, the first couple of links I tried worked, but most don't.  Nice video of "I Woke Up In Love This Morning".

Speaking of, anyone else seen David Cassidy's horrible new ABC Family channel sitcom? Atrocious.
