If you made it to the end, I think Elton was in on the gag.

Warning - 5+ hours of the old, not PC cartoons we grew up on:

I had to go back after my post. Yes, appears so. But why? Totally fooking stupid. Must be a Brit thing.

Considering the Porsche content, I suppose most of us have seen this one?:

No, I didn't watch it to conclusion. If it was a spoof, it wasn't funny.

The Canepa vid was excellent. Produced by "Will Keown." That's a riot right there.

Ok, you didn't watch it to conclusion.
But you came to an accurate conclusion.
Elton pulls out a gun and "shoots" Rowan who falls.
I won't spoil what Elton says after.

It's funny because Rowan was character acting a British stereotype to the point of an extreme.

Elton was in on it. And a totally creepy dude to see with his facial expressions.

Some of the originals in this compilation go back to when I first started reading the 944 section on Pelican.

I play bass in cover bands. I am always delighted when a song I must learn has been presented by this guy. All other bass cover videoists are FOS. Lots of incorrectness. This guy consistently NAILS bass covers accurately.

[Rick Lee]

There are some other bass cover videos by hot (and not) women with 100x as many views, but they don't touch this guy's accuracy.

Not really rare; this guy gets a lot of views, but I found his Tektronics collection to be pretty impressive.

Macolm in the middle is full of gems
Reece in the Army is also great

This ex Air Force mechanic chick is hot. Actually pretty entertaining and OCD as hell.

OK, so she used to a dude. Oh well.

Was just going to say, something is off

Elvis Costello and the Attractions were supposed to play ‘Less Than Zero' but only a few bars into the song, Costello put a stop to it. “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “but there’s no reason to do this song here.” At that point he and the band launched into “Radio Radio,” a song that takes a jab at corporate-controlled broadcasting. Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels was furious. According to some reports, he raised his middle finger at Costello and kept it up until the unapproved song was over.

Costello was banned from the show for nearly 12 years. Elvis admits that he was copying Jimi Hendrix, who had done the same thing on the Lulu Show, when he went into an unscheduled rendition of the Cream song 'Sunshine Of Your Love'. The full recording of this piece is unavailable on youtube due to SNL or Lorne Michaels or somebody. This first portion of the song is the max allowed so far, although how long this will remain up is anyone’s guess.

I remember Elvis singing "Watching the Detectives" when the Sex Pistols did not show.

Was that the same night as Radio, Radio?
