Tornados - Robot

[TheMisterytour]

haha dont hate me for saying this but the blonde one at 1:34 looks like some weird dogger lolll

[tyrantsfaceisred]

hence the birth of "The Robot!"  sorry mj!

[BerilacMoss]

In fact, this video was made by famous French director Claude Lelouch... And was probably shot in a forest near Paris (like the "Bois de Boulogne" or the "Bois de Vincennes"). The costume of the policemen at the end of the video are typical of the French "gendarmerie".

[buckley54]

This is SO pervy!! I love it. Shit record but wow - so pervy

[alebohemio]

jajaja que maestros! esas mascaritas y esos bailes jaja!

[googleisshittoss]

Not their best I have to say (IMHO) of course! ;-)

[trufiend138]

wow this sucks

[Gmancrap]

Haha! You're one to talk. You listen to like Mogwai, and Bob Dylan.

[trufiend138]

@Gmancrap wow, ur a sad as this "music"........ lame asses

[Gmancrap]

Lol, sure. Now go on and listen to your bad music.

[trufiend138]

@Gmancrap figures u would know good music when u hear it (dylan, mogwai) when u listen to this filth

[Gmancrap]

Figures you wouldn't know how to spell, type or use proper grammar when you listen to such bad music (Dylan, Mogwai).

[adamsamazingapples]

The organist was on T.V in hospital the other day, Showing all the cast His pictures of him with Elvis and the beatles. Underated band.

[iain1970]

Yep, it's deffo the robot gigalo!

[TEENSPlRlT]

thumbs up if you seen roger or whatever his name is on a hospital programme and came looking you tube to see if he was telling the truth.

[Kangabeer]

@TEENSPlRlT thats why I'm here having a look...I kind of like the old guy and thought I'd have a look... lol!!!!

[gan0nsl4y3r]

[bplay40]

[ryanbrownnew]

it's all rivetting stuff

[Jigfm]

that guy at the beginning cant see jack shit lmao

[Hellbat308]

hrhrh nice kiss =)

[MrTsingtau]

Ein wirkliches gutes instrumental Lied, und das Video erst, absolut top, so richtig noch von Hand gemacht und nicht wie heute üblich vieles am Computer zusammengebastelt.

[999manman]

The original metal heads!

[jlovebirch]

Attack of the Water Heater Monsters. Totally mad video but I can't stop watching it. At first thought it was a scene from some bad Japanese sci-fi film from the '60s.

[Ilovecats112233]

The poor robots! Here's us high and mighty humans saying they have no feelings, yet they must complex and beautiful minds and emotional range to produce such wonders as these.

[therealKINDLE]

This is so incredible. I wish I could travel back in time. Who'd want to travel forwards?

[immutabledude]

I guess some girls like the taste of metal in their mouths.

[ryanbrownnew]

lets go welding now.. welding USA...

[999manman]

@ryanbrownnew LOL!

[reverenddonut]

awesome! haha, funny shit. great song, stupidious as fuck! just as great as telstar or maybe even better! they never earned a cent from their music I heard, a shame for these instrumental wizards!

cheerio mates! keep on rockin!

greetings from the netherlands!

[peck712]

I actually thought this was some modern retro video (affectionate) piss take until they took the helmets off! Absolutely amazing little film of one of my favourite 45s.

[JOHNAOS3]

this rules- aos homage surely chaps?

[icecold510]

HAHHA awesome!

George bellamy,

now i know how matthew bellamy got so good,

talent is in his blood!

[Essasmusic]

Good lord, I heard this song for the first time only five days ago. I can't get it out of my head. Not that I'd want to in the first place...

[RobinCarmody]

Things like this are a big part of the reason why I now question everything I thought I knew about the Beatles.

[corkscrewfoley]

@RobinCarmody Good...more people need to do this too...

[jeffcool78]

long before mtv this was your music video. joe meek know how make music videos long before there was a music video.

[Monsteralbie]

without this we wouldn;t have Muse. That would be an injustice

[maximobarbierii]

THE FIRST VIDEO I SAW FROM THE TORNADOS IN 1986, REALLY CONCEPTUAL AND WEIRD.

[pgems46]

LOve this vid first saw it at Butlins on vid juke box cost 1shilling Incidently the drummer was Clem Cattini formally with Johnny Kidd and the Pirates and has played on over 50 No 1s check his side for these hits

[andygrahamme]

Joe Meek was an absolute genius, can't believe this is nearly fifty years old. One of the greatest pop music producers of all time !!!! Faulous!!!!!

[26highstreet]

This was filmed in france

[boardey]

Dam good in its day, nice to see heinz.

[MrNaughtyflirt]

The video footage to this track is so dated and cheesy, but I love it. Maybe it's because to me the tornados can do no wrong.

[Scottmcrae1]

The Rythme Guitarist George Bellamy is the father of Muse frontman Matt Bellamy :O

[Siamaland]

Heinz didn't get the girl I see

[NutmegPunkle]

the best group of the 60's , well ahead of its time x x

[LoriundJimi]

absolut toll

[gillsteve]

B, side of telestar still got it on old 45

[johnniescarlett]

@gillsteve

Sorry to sound like an anorak, but I think "Jungle Fever" was on the B side of  "Telstar"

[pgems46]

@johnniescarlett Thats correct saw the tonados in 62

[OhZupDez]

err . . . .. vids weird..

[supernoob6]

That's the second time I've senn that.( the thing in the comments about dating. Don't click it.

[THCGartenstadt]

one of this ''ride the highway and feel free'' songs! very cool

[syntaxerrorss]

i read that there is rhythmicon on this song. can anyone point this out to me? maybe in the beginning or the end?

[ryanspeed]

Joe Meek was a genius! It's a shame how he died! :(

[rarebutgreat]

A great song and a bizzare but incredibably watchable video. Thanks for posting it

[gmakepiece]

All rather oddly Devo and B film.

[popaoomowmow]

amazing

[LillyKnowsNothing]

so THIS is what goes on in the Gibson tour bus.

[normloman]

at what point on the graph do must and cannot meet?

[barbiefl09]

Great and cute, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnniescarlett]

I wish my wife would rub my helmet like that.

I was of course referring to my crash helmet, what else could I have possibly meant? ;-)

[MrNaughtyflirt]

Yeah right ;-) I heard what you said, but I knew what you meant. Nice one. LOL

[snarnok]

This would have been filmed in either late 1962 or early 1963 - Heinz left the band about Feb/March 1963. Also there is video of them playing 'The Ice-cream Man'.

[drpesky]

This song has been one of my favs of all time i love the disschords and it inspired my songwriting

i used to do an act with a TV on my head so i wont say to much (lol)

[eugenecraddock]

directed by french famous cineast Claude Lelouch

[radiomareas]

Great video and song ,congratulations

[watchingwheels422]

this is great

[enjeksiyoncu]

very good....CEM-TURKEY

[lobbebobbe]

Heinz Burt (han med just like Eddie) var ju med i tornados

denna blev en mindre hit i sverige -64

[johnniescarlett]

Every time I look at this fab video i see something else.

Is that Mr. bean sitting on the tree playing a guitar?

[t3l0d1c3l4p1tx]

q xu cha

[Hobrick]

this song is the sunlight in the cold winter

[DuncDeTomato]

We Brits can do cheese better than the Americans without even trying. This is a triumph of its genre!!

[ad1170]

the lead guitarist matt ballemy dad

[royalfuzziness]

I think i know where they got the idea for Bender the robot on futurerama.

[johnniescarlett]

This video probably cost about 5 shillings to make, including the fish and chip supper for the cast and crew!!

Nonetheless, it's absolutely brilliant! So evocative of the time between Elvis and the Beatles when pure, fab pop like this would get into the charts. Thx for posting.

(For those too young to remember, 5 shillings, it's about 25p in modern money)

[wrtlpfmpf]

@johnniescarlett Actually this is a so-called Scorpitone. That was a film on demand system similar to jukeboxes today, but with colour film.

[cjm52]

@johnniescarlett - or 60 pennies - what where they ?

[johnniescarlett]

@cjm52 In old English money there were 240 old pennies to the pound, 20 shillings to the pound and 12 old pennies in a shilling. Confusing yes, but we got used to it.

I actually found decimalisation hard to get used too!!

[Ilovecats112233]

@johnniescarlett By heck! I'd expected you could buy a Tornadoes comic and an ice-cream for a bob, but a top of the pops video and treat of the era for supper - to say nothing of feeding an entire working team - with just five shillings?? Why, in that case couldn't a mere tuppence or even a bloomin' penny have bought space comics and ice-creams?

[brightmotor]

@johnniescarlett what about a couple quid for the film? That shit's not cheap.

[ecxeter]

OMG a sixties version of daft Punk !!!!!

LOL

[nukeman777]

lol

[mscrankyangel]

there is something so... Python-esque about this video. LOVE IT

[flubberdubber]

haha matt bellamy's dad :P

[urbmeister]

LOL

what a clip

the sounds of the Tornados

even small children loves it

with their special sounds

[commanderjime]

Heinz (L)

[goldenagenut]

I can't help but busting out laughing every time at :47 lol

[ajgree6]

Man, what a group. I love the Tornados and Joe Meek too. Any keeners remember the Tornados song "Dreams Do Come True?" That song is just amazingly beautiful and fun.

[RocketBabyDoll96]

Aw, I LOVE the Tornados!!! This is the cutest music video ever! And the guy who pushes and swings at the cop towards the end is awesome. My hero.

[goldenagenut]

...BabyDoll you rock. Awesome comment >:)

[goldenagenut]

LOL Awesome vid/song!

[drpesky]

One of my fave instrumentals this song had a big influence on me and my song writing

[akenaton97]

The Worts video clip ever

[obnebur]

it seems there was too many honey bees round that wood

[psychopompo]

fantastic!

[nuttyboy13]

Which one is George?

[deetak]

for a moment in this video I really thought robots *could* feel love...but halfway through I realized I was tricked again...that it only belongs to the human and we shed an electric tear once more

[dogkelp]

positively smashing! absurdist british humor at its best!

[gothiccitizen]

It had to be matthew bellamys daddy! LOL Tornados rock and muse! it seems they both were into robots! lol

[DubChieftain]

best guitar part in any tune ever

[ymmotnotmilmah]

Crazzeeeeee man; but pure fab - cheers

[raspberryeye]

bien avant daft punk y'a eu les tornados ! ^^

[fireblade95]

damn robots get all the girls!

[susan462]

this is what ya get if u cross The B-52's, aliens, and polka music-lol....

[shiftup]

this video is so ridiculous. imagine, one of these people birthed matt bellamy.

[getagrip99]

to shiftup : I didn't know that men are able to birth.

[shiftup]

if you are of the Bellamy name, you can do anything. get an education, jeez.

[johnniescarlett]

Who is Matt Bellamy, and which one birthed him?

I think we should be told.

Personally I think this video shows early sixties British pop at its best.

They had no money, just a lot of genuine creativity.

5 stars!

[shiftup]

matt bellamy is the lead singer/guitarist of muse.

[ah3133]

Damn some robots can't even take their girls out without The Man bringing down the heat.

[dieTaube0]

Gorgeous Vintage!

Thank you so much for posting this pearl!

[potar]

this is what my everyday life should look like.

[Daddyporky]

Wasn't draco malfoy in that vid?

[adamhoej]

Gotta love that song!

[Begooo5]

I can't believe what i've just seen! now I understand all the weird things from matt!!

[Arcto]

Wow. Just when you think youve seen the weirdest youtube has to offer.....you allways find something weirder. Pretty catchy tune! Must check out there other stuff...

[Factnotfictionpeople]

If you like this, try to hear Globetrotter, Costa Monger and Flycatcher!

[micr0cosm]

[billybuck]

most amusing

[BradCowDisease]

Pure fucking genius!

[Iwatchtrek]

What... The... Fuck.

[spinach43]

[Fuhgawz00]

noooooooooo what a hell my future is over when i saw this video

[dipsetmuthafucka]

The future now.

[0Ruzena0]

I love the maniacal expression in the guitarists face ;]

[doowopsteve]

cool song from 1963 cool video as well the tornados are often forgotten in todays music id rather listen to them than the bealtes because they are overatted

[Lordofheroes]

[onlymuse91]

[torykara]

[jesusabel715]

[Glow2288]

Awesome! I love it! <=))))))

[muserachgirl]

hahahaha is hillarious and relaxing you know but I think Matt Bellamy is better than his father

[lundkvist]

Just typical you can´t have a robotic dance party without being hassled by the man.

[enjeksiyoncu]

Good clip and memories..Cem-Turkey

[ClaraKlaxon]

This is beautiful! I love it! Thanks for posting it!

[companhiadaluz]

company of light 55-27-3340-8520 makes of its party un show brazil iluminação acaps

[onlymuse91]

alala je préfère largement MUSE!!!!

[alanbyond]

pourtant il est hot le clip là

[creamofcardstv]

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some trading cards of 1960's chart topping stars: The Tornados, Cliff Richard, Elvis Presley, Adam Faith, Billy Furry, Frank Sinatra, Lonnie Donegan, and Shirley Bassey.

[arthurbrick]

This must be where Devo get it from.

[GuildfordGhost]

Delighted to see this finally! I had heard about it but never saw it. The last trolleybus ran past 304 Holloway Road in 1960 (Robot actually charted in March 1963). Yes, George Bellamy was a guitarist in the band. At least one of them appears to be missing from the video - I can make out Heinz Burt, Clam Cattini and Alan Caddy. Thanks so much for posting this!

[febcanl]

is this the band where matthew bellemay's father, george bellemay, played in?

[map0fproblematique]

you got that right. cheers for the tornados and MUSE!!

[lundkvist]

Good story, but it sounds a whole lot like someone shaking a reverb amp.

[abelseeman]

Legend has it that the background twanging noise was the sound of the trolleybus poles running along the overhead wires outside Joe Meeks office studio in Holloway Road.

If this was made in 1964 that postdates the last trolleybuses there by three years. This in turn suggests that Joe Meek was professional enough tp record and archive the sound for future reference.

[sapper7282]

Wouldn't be suprised, sounds a lot like the trolley poles at Crich tramway museum.

[jasonrattue]

Who is the sexy beech who storms the stage at the end? Shame about the hairy arse mind. Ay Kristina!?!

[garagedays]

Se quitan los cascos para que su madre de cada quien los pueda identificar.. porque si no, qué chiste tiene estar en una banda de rock o algo...

[smallbutperfect]

Ha Ha! They actually look scarier when they take their robot helmets off.

[castingtherunes]

They should really make an official movie of Joe Meek's life with all the great music he left behind as the soundtrack. Clive Owen should play him!

[oldun52]

Lead guitarist, Heinz Burt, worked as a carriage painter at Eastleigh Loco Works during the '80s, a lovely bloke to know and talk to.

[jozefacik]

NO way! I thought he lived on another planet or sth

[vinnytheblade]

Goon show! Awesome.

[hippiebeat]

this video is a perfect example of why i love the 60's....
