Does she come with the slot cars?

French chanteuse Dalida singing the very pretty Je n'ai jamais pu t'oublier from 1964

I said a nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah...

One would think at first that this Scopitone cover version of Land of A Thousand Dances was pretty cheesy...



...until you watched the World Wrestling Federation version of the same song, which I remember from my childhood!

I can imagine the producer of this saying to himself, "What this music video needs is more helicopters!"

This Scopitone video of Gelou singing "Ils Croient a leurs danses", a French hit from 1962 has the surreal "We're making a Scoptone!" touch. See if you can spot what wouldn't makie it on MTV today. :)

When robots play guitars

The Scopitones video of The Tornados performing their instrumental Robot while costumed in robot outfits is pretty surreal. If you think that the video is horrible, you can cheer a little when the French riot police show up at the end.
