they made a short film in 1996 called "spooktime" and songs from "a happy pocket" were used in the film. "spooktime" had a limited theater run, playing before the main film.
yeah, the HQ button disappeared a few weeks ago. if you add &fmt=18 to the end of the url, th HQ button comes back. don't know why youtube is making things so difficult!
can anyone who knows the lyrics to this song, please go on the lyrics site and fix them,because what is posted is not correct, Thanks xo I just love this song thx jdimaria
"Let's sing a lament; The world isn't round, it's twisted and bent." That about sums it up perfectly. Great song and I too, wonder why it was never a huge hit.
thanks joe have been a fan for about 18 years now (was one of the first members of the club - when nancy used to reply by letter!!) any chance of putting spooktime on youtube? ;) tips

if you're net getting any sound, right underneath the video, switch the setting from 360p to 240p and that should fix it.

Do anyone knows how we can embed the video WITH sound?
The "Add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL to get sound." works only here at yutube but not to embed the video in a blog. Thanks!!

Still one of their finest hours, this track. Anyone know where the movie footage in this video is taken from?

Good shout, mate. Thanks for the info. The question therefore becomes where can I find "Spooktime"?
SeldomAthleticFC 2 years ago
it was never released on its own, so the only way is to find a promo copy somewhere, which would be really difficult. i haven't seen one in years.

Why The Trash Can Sinatras weren't the most popular band ever is overall mystery. Time will tell though.

Because the British public were into pish such as the Spice Girls. I agree with you that it's not fair!

it's from the 1996 short film "spooktime", which was made as a promotion for the trashcan sinatras album "a happy pocket."
