That Manhattans clip, "The Picture Became Quite Clear" (title?), appears to have been filmed in Washington Square Park (only relevant to Mike and me, but hey).

you've seen me post about U-68, the UHF video music channel in NY in the mid-'80s. Well, check out these promos. Everybody looks so young!

John Lennon said that was one of his favorite Beatle covers, if not THE favorite.

I wish I'd been aware of this when it was a (minor) hit:

The Braids, "Bohemian Rhapsody"

I bought the cassingle (remember those?) sight unseen and was blown away. One of the more ingenious covers of the last several decades, IMHO.

Haha, I still have about a dozen of those ... including Roachford's "Cuddly Toy," When in Rome's "The Promise," Lisa Loeb's "Do You Sleep?", and, improbably, Ace Frehley's cover of "Do Ya."

You have no idea how long I've been looking for this:

Opening theme, "Nanny and the Professor"

For those who don't know, my avatar is of the two leads in this 1970 sitcom.  I adored Juliet Mills when I would watch this in reruns in the early '80s, and Richard Long, who played the professor (and, sadly, died four years later), is totally my type in the present day.

Phoebe Figallily is a silly name.  BTW, it's available on Vol 1 of Rhino's wonderful Tube Tunes series.

and the lucky Ms. Mills was married to muscular young boytoy Max Caulfield (of Dynasty/The Colbys and Grease 2 fame). He was many years her junior.

A track that never got an official release AFAIK. Kinda Bread-like, or maybe Manassas:

Steely Dan, "Dallas" (1972)
