Yvonne Elliman - "Can't Find My Way Home"

Sometime in the mid 1970's, Yvonne Elliman performs the great Blind Faith tune on a TV show called "Whistle Stop." A beautiful song, a beautiful voice, a great interpretation.

Good Golly

An ant on an LP record can't seem to get going. Or maybe it likes it there. It actually stayed there for half an hour! C'mon now, this is funny...

Snickers Red Light Green Light

New Snickers commercial. Cool.

Cocktails For Two (1945)

Spike Jones and his City Slickers in a timeless nutty madcap short. And, no, that's not Cagney. That's Jones himself.

Rock and Roll Fishing

This is what happens when British humor mates with Japanese humor. Filmed in Mile End Park, London.

Bea Arthur, "Sniff Swig Puff"

Bea Arthur and Rock Hudson sing a song that would cause an avalanche of letters to the network today. The song was originally from the Broadway show "I Love My Wife"; this clip is from The Beatrice Arthur Special in 1980.

Minivan Highway

It's like if Kraftwerk moved to Lincoln, Nebraska. This piece of genius is from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

The Philharmonicas: "Powerhouse" (1939)

These musicians are crazy talented. You've heard this tune, written by Raymond Scott, in lots of Warner Bros and other cartoons (be sure to listen past 1:09). Footnote: Scott sued Disney and James Horner for stealing this music for "Honey I Shrunk The Kids"; they settled out of court.

Harvey Cartoons Candy Cabaret (1954)

Back in the old days before the 1970s, they used to show cartoons before movies. Sometimes the cartoons were "sing-a-long" types, and this is one fun example. Yes, people actually used to sing together in the theatre. "Just follow the bouncing ball..." The sing-a-long part starts at around 3:30.

Luden's Cough Drops and Zappa (1967)

Frank Zappa was hired to do the sound track for this Luden's Cough Drops commercial. It went on to win a Clio award for best use of sound.

Matzah can be funny. Certainly funnier than lamb's blood on your door or a plague of locusts.

"Be A Nose!" - Art Spiegelman

An animated ad with drawings by Spiegelman promoting his new book, a collection of his private sketchbooks.

Fiddling Pogo Girl

The kind of thing you'd never get to see if it wasn't for the internet.

Funky Video Mashup

A funky tune completely made by editing together other music videos found on YouTube. Amazingly well done.

"Potato Salad" from "Broadway Rhythm" (1944)

The wildest thing you will see this week. These are the Ross Sisters: Aggie, Maggie, and Elmira. Sure, they can sing, but wait until the video hits the one minute mark... and that finale!

Telly Savalas "sings"

The very suave Telly Savalas performs Bread's "If" in his own sexy style while a very large woman's head watches him.

Dancing on the Jumbotron

Jeremy Fry, a high school student and Boston Celtics fan, gets his big moment on the Jumbotron screen at Boston Garden-- and totally goes for it.

Home-made Trader Joe's commercial

If you like Trader Joe's, you'll like this. If you don't like Trader Joe's, you'll like this.

Super Broker Shuffle

Beyond bad, beyond uncomfortable, beyond embarassing, there is... The Super Broker Shuffle! Hard to pick a favorite, but I think mine is the A-1 sauce guy.

Andres Segovia

He brings out so much emotion from the guitar. This is J.S.Bach's Saraband and Gavotte en Rondeau. I wish the sound recording was better, though.
