The Strawberry Alarm Clock - The Pretty Song...

[GaiusOctavianCaesar1]

Super pretty, enjoy the weir hippie music Pinko's :) lol

[gottselig2004]

Ill add this as well...If you base your opinions of the world on what TV and the media tell you then you are just forming an opinion that is beat into you. People are the same everywhere you go and so are the politics but sadly most people are brainwashed by the Idiot box to see this

[gottselig2004]

I think the world has been going in cycles (up/downhill) long before the 60s my friend. The 60s had all the hate/prejudices , religious superstitions, lack of respect etc etc.....America attacks other countries like it has always done and puts a pro america spin on it. Thanks for the chuckle though and the song is great too

[frizzlefrap]

the PRETTY BAD SONG ...... is the true name .... like all the rest of them .... except .... "incense and peppermints"

[56bluegold]

I wish I could go back in time !

[irishelk2]

Really good song and i love the video

[gjbiren]

I bought a Japanese pressing of this album back in about 1984 somewhere in the Village. I really liked this song. It wasn't until about 20 years later that I saw the movie Psych-Out w/Jack Nicholson. What a ridiculously self-indulgent movie. I wasn't born until 1969 and always had an envious nostalgia for the late 60's. Seeing movies like that helped cure me.

[RipARipeBanana]

@gjbiren What do you mean "cure" you?

[gjbiren]

@RipARipeBanana It made me realize that while the idealism was wonderful, unfortunately it was still people with all of their frailties that were espousing it. The only difference is that they weren't as jaded. Perhaps it was their failure that led to my cynicism. Pete Townsend talking about the making of Who's Next talks about how his generation had the opportunity to make real change and utterly failed. I could not put it more eloquently.

[curyam]

why mix in the 70's images with such a 60's song?

[RipARipeBanana]

@curyam

Good call, actually. I don't know, it just started happening.

[harpobaby7]

There must be a way to go back to this time when things were warm and fuzzy and custom made to our personal fantasy. Get ready. We'll all go together. Lets go!

[nozukleftbehind]

This song and many more on the album were performed by the Storybook, a San Fernando Valley garage band. The songs were written by composer Ronald Stein for Dick Clark Productions. I was the lead singer for the group. The band broke up in the late 60's when I went into the military...

[Beatlegirl4eva]

Man, I wish I could`ve jumped on that band waggon, now I`m stuck here. I missed the music, I missed the TV shows, I missed the movies, I missed people actually spending time together, heck, I freekin missed The Beatles!

Someone NEEDS to make a time machine pronto!lol

[tim22ism]

why arent people connecting anymore??

[tim22ism]

oh god how I miss this musicWeare all going downhill!!!

[darthjoey13]

This is the most beautiful wonderful song. I love you.

[stebo46]

@ brokenlegg...

I pity you so much! This was a time of "Make Love Not War"! I guess you couldn't get laid even when they were giving it away! Now we all know which "LEG" is really broken! Maybe I would be decrepit too if I were in your shoes! Let's all pray for a brighter day!

[7rawlr79]

That was great :)

[bixbyglaser]

I'd like this too, as long as I wouldn't have had to go to Vietnam.

[Bluebonnett52]

The 60's were cool. And Mr Natural ( 1:04) was wunna favorite 'toons...

[FeatureLengthFilms]

Great song, cool photos.

[Billykid514]

brilliant

[lookhear49]

Those were the days when the world was really living. Great video

[SandozSaxonWilliams]

@lookhear49

I wonder what compelled the maker of this video to feature Manson's face; more glory to a pathetic myth mainly created by a book which earned loads of fucking cash.

Manson cheapens this...

[RipARipeBanana]

@SandozSaxonWilliams That's a good point, actually. I don't know, I guess I just pinned Manson an image and figure of the pop culture of the late sixties. I also agree completely with "Helter Skelter", the book and ultimately 1976 TV-movie. It was hype at it's peak. I mean, Manson's an entertaining joke now, and has been for years, though it was a whole other story in the sixties when he was in his prime and the murders were fresh. Now it's all this "woah, wasn't that whole thing fucked up?"

[lookhear49]

@SandozSaxonWilliams

Yeah, I can agree with you. His face shouldn´t been there. He has nothing to do with the love feeling and atmosphere of the sixties.

[RipARipeBanana]

@lookhear49 I already kind of cleared that up with that person. Read it.

[aiwala]

cool!

yes....a time machine is what we need!

where will we start?

...but the 80's should be ignored

;-P

[uwi2]

Can i coming with y...Hey...What's wrong with the 80s?

[aiwala]

please....

YA!

umm....yeah the 80s...shouldn't explain here

:-P

only have to say....peace!

[sexymama1966]

one for the 1960s..yeah:)..i would be one fo the first ones there:)

[cheerbear237]

Will somebody build a time machine already! I feel so ripped off in the generational lottery. I feel like I missed out on the fuckin parade. Great video and song!

[mybadgtp]

That is one awesome video, great job. Awesome song too

[glimmer2158]

This reminds me of the montage scene in the move "The Parallax View"

[archerrobinhood]

whose the guy at 1:15?

[WALDEN88888]

It's Robert Kennedy as he lies on the floor shot.

[archerrobinhood]

thanks!

[littletimone]

This montage just about sums up all I remembered as a kid and teenager. Great post!

[ryanbmx5]

Thanks for the video. I love the pics! I remember hearing this song for the first time in high school after MGM released Psych Out on dvd and have loved it ever since. Makes me wish I could go back in time for a day to experience it in person... it must've really been something magical that many in my generation would loved to have been a part of. A world without love = doom and thats something that has slowly proven true in my short life (I'm in my early 20s).

[fudgewinkle7]

i like the photo of the policeman with his helmet covering the genitals of the streaker! the caption should read "could you blow in this please sir!"

[roppi]

the pictures are cool, where did you find them?

[claybilly]

amazing video man,

[vogelmandrie]

Although lots of images aren't 40 years old, still a very nice video, one of SAC's best songs, the enchanting sound of the harpsichord is sooo relaxed

[tomloft2000]

great montage-i had forgotten some of these symbols of the '60's.

[lovely7rita]

Awesome! So very true. All you need is love!!

[BrokenLeggBilly]

Fuckin' stupid!

[claybilly]

you don't get it

[BrokenLeggBilly]

Fuck you, dipshit! All it is is a bunch of stupid pictures that add up to nothing!

so go fuck yourself, cuntface!
