I'd never seen the video till now, for some reason it creeped me out as much as the images in my head did listening to the tape as a kid 15 years ago.... awesome album though, Centrefield.
Another video that appeared on the "Take Off to Animation" sequence from the old Night Flight program, way back in the day when USA would broadcast the more unusual and interesting viewing offerings, instead of their current crop of repeats.
From what I understand, Saul Zaentz owned the copyright to all Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. Even though John Fogerty wrote most of them. When John broke out on his own Saul would not let him sing any of the songs, because of copyright infringement. What a DICK
@raymoles Yep, that's correct. It's like Ingrid Croce had to sue the record label for the rights to her own husband's songs after his tragic death. It's amazing how many artists have been completely screwed by essentially no talent con men.
@Silk37luvsZarrick Hi, just try to find out a bit of John's history...The original title was always Zanz Kant Danz (in allusion to Saul Saentz (the ltl pig...)), but to avoid more legal problems, warner bross "suggested" to change the name on the album to Vanz Kant Danz....But on the last edition of Centerfield (25th Anniversary), the title has been corrected again to Zanz Kant Danz...
Thanks for posting it. I've never thought I have chance to see this video again. I've been looking for it more than 20 yrs. It really brings back all my good memory of my green days.
Thanks for posting this video, Ive been looking for it for over 20 years It reminds me of the big video explosion of the 80's back in my home town of Aguadilla,Puerto Rico.Where, we were behind in the MTV era but the local TV station played the heck outta this video, great memories, Thanks from the bottom of my heart..Rocky
I can't believe I FINALLY found this! I used to be terrified of those pigs when I was a little girl. I would have nightmares about them. This song is about the Industry's pigish ways. Now that I'm 28 I see much hasn't change with the industry. I'm not scared of those pigs anymore either! ;)
I'm glad that he was able to do that song and show all the people in the world that there's pigs in everything trying to get everything you, is message is clear! Thanks John, keep on rocking!
I've got the original release of "Centerfield" where a "Z" was used for the "V" in "Vanz". But it wasn't until I saw the video for the first time here that I got hooked by the chorus. Thanks so much for posting this.
For me, it was the other way around - I saw the video at an animation festival I went to in California and got hooked on the song. It wasn't until years later that I learned the origin of it, and the story of Sol Zanz. Suing an artist for plagerizing himself? No one could make up a ridiculous scenario like that - and to think of it being dragged through the courts is too laughable! I'm glad John won! Thanks johnluchomono for posting this - it brings back GREAT memories for me!
