Just saw Todd last night in Delaware, and he and the band performed this song. This video is awesome-- you did a fantastic job creating it, JRD. I can't imagine how anyone could "dislike" this. They are clearly out of their minds.
I LOVE this Lego animation !! A lot of creativity and fun put into this video, looks like. One (not so significant) thing I noticed was that the city highlighted on 2:11 when Todd mentions Barcelona - is actually Valencia.
Thanks so much for this! I've not heard any Todd for eons, it seems. Brought me back to my major musical influence as a teenager. And, now that I'm going back to school for audio & video after 30 years...the emotional boost was very timely and needed!
WOW!!never heard this song or viewed the video...i LUV IT!!great rhythm and beat, makes me happy in side...feel like dancing and just letting go...i LUV TODD ALWAYS...i luv this upeat tune!! makes me feel HAPPY...life is good, thanx for sharing todd...thanx for the video...
Pure genius! What a great tribute to Todd! What a wonderful treat for all! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent and love of great music with us!
Great job on the video!! Plus, thank you very much for getting this song on YouTube, it's very hard to find. Used to have the CD but unfortunately someone decided to sell my collection. . .
You have much to be proud about,most of all for being one of the most dedicated Toddleheads I've ever come across.You are brilliant and highly entertaining.Much like Runts own incredible talent ,you have the creative ability to make positive and inspirational art in a way that sets you apart from the norm.
Duuuuude.. you got talent...lol inspired by mom and dad.... lucky you to have innovative and thoughtful parents as well as the fun for you all... I'm all Jacked up!!!! thanks...
What a wonderful guy, that Todd. I'm from the Netherlands and I was working with a guy one day (in the 70s) and the radio was on with Todd singing I Saw the Light. The guy didn't see it at all (or rather hear) and looked at me as if I was crazy. Now I rediscover him (old and sick) and this song sounds like his old tunes. Absolutely unbelievable that someone can have this gift for writing songs that lift you up and make you happy. Bless you, Todd Rundgren....
jrdmovimkr-thanks for this video! so glad it is back on youtube I am a TR fan but did not know this song and album til I saw this video. I now listen to this song with my cappaccino every morning! theflag2008 &fancypantsization-Todd's 1973 album Something/Anything is a must have if you like TR's music!
Flag2008....the song you're speaking of is called "Parallel Lines". Also by Todd off the Nearly Human album. --> one of the best albums ever made by anyone. Period.
Nice to hear from you! I think I wrote it in a mad moment! It must have been my friend's 3 year old always asking for the "Lego Man" song to be played and then me mixing that in with an idea behind the song Is It My Name. I'll give up on the creative thinking.
Brilliant - you are talented and funny. I'm so impressed how you make each scene seamless and have such good ideas. I almost peed my pants when I saw the reference to Kasim's "unfortunate show business moment", as someone put it. (for those who want to see the live incident check out "couldn't I just tell you" live). You must be a true Todd fan. (Who else would even know this song?) Thanks and keep up the good work. Not sure how you have time but you keep us entertained and amazed.
Oh, I LOVED this! I love Todd and this video was very entertaining! You are very talented! I shall look at the White and Nerdy next! Thanks so much for taking so much time on this! It is very creative and entertaining!
Yes, his name IS Swedish! Good job! I have the book about Todd Rundgren called "A Dream Goes On Forever" and that's where I learned this bit of trivia, I believe!
Absolutley brilliant work! You should be proud! This song was from Todd's 95 album "The Individualist" Classic and overlooked, the CD is well worth searching out!
wow...two weeks! That's intense man...I'm from the Bay Area, and have to admit that the Golden Gate Bridge looked real crappy lol, everything else was awesome though.
at 0:50 why does it say lc on the side of the plane? is it going to gta liberty city?lol at 1:33 his head turns without his head but then his hair goes back lol, harry potter at 3:11 and 3:12 is spongebob, altogether man 5*****

This song is "Espresso" not Parallel Lines. Espresso is on the album "The Individualist" which was released in 1995 when Todd was using the name
TR-i . It was the first "enhanced" cd that had all kinds of cool stufff when you
put it in your computer including a doom style video game. Parellel lines plays
during the credits and is on 1989's Nearly Human, the hardest of all Todd records to find... thanks to Warner Bros.
