http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwtAU0XyMj8This version of the song is a live film from the 1977 Live Stiffs tour. Anyone know if there is an available video of that tour?
I wonder if Elvis ever thought back then that his song would be the theme song for a Public Television show. I have mixed feelings about that. It's exposure and money for him, but that song was supposed to be different and off beat, you know. " I Melt With You" selling burgers for Burger King? Maybe it's just me, but is nothing sacred? Although I first heard Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" as a car commercial, and ran out to buy it. But again, that's probably just me living in a hole, and not really commercialism exposing me to new music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQvUBf5l7Vw&playnext=1&list=PL9DCCA653B098F38c.
(Lust for Life video complete with commercials and clips from movies)
You really know your old when you hear the Muzak versions of you favourite "radical" songs from your youth as you push the full grocery cart through the store, and you hum along. Makes me think of this song that my children recently performed with their acting troupe; "Money Makes the World Go Around."
