I love that "and the Gang." It's like "and the Rest" on Gilligan's Island: obviously MaryAnn and the Professor have better agents than Daphne, Velma and Fred. At least by the second year they had their names added to the theme song!
I'd go on YouTube and look for some Gilligan's Island mashups, if I didn't currently have 12 windows with Monkees videos downloading so I could make another episode. This one will feature guest appearances by Frank Zappa and Julie Newmar! She really is the coolest piece of estrogen on the planet.
It's all very convoluted, really. I found this on Wil Wheaton's blog. It's an extremely twisted British video by Cox and Combes about George Washington and his 30 penises and 4 testicles. Because you can never have too many, eh?
I think Wil may be training for the Gitmo Marathon soon if Ann Coulter finds out about this.
Students at the University of Heidelburg take a break from their studies while smoking opium (c. 1900). I suppose it makes the accordion music even more enjoyable.
Okay, look. Let's be honest. If the lead singer here were a white boy dancing like that he wouldn't get the girl; he'd get the tongue depressor forced between his teeth, a double dose of clonazepam, and the snazzy jacket with the extra-long sleeves that buckle in the back. Those backup boys can rock it out, it must be said. The lyrics are a bit messy, though, a little too brutally honest. "We also create false promises" eh?
In this youtube, a band identified as the "Indian Beatles" performs a totally rockin' version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in Hindi…
Commenters on the YouTube page add more details. The song is "Tumse Hai Dil Ko" from the film "Jaanwar" — and this: "The camera work is exceptional, the singing great, and the fact that this was just 1 year after the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show makes this work of adaptive plagiarism all the more impressive."
And the lyrics:
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you
We meet because of destiny
We also create false promises
We meet because of destiny
we also create false promises
My heart loves you
My heart loves you
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you
