The Pretty Things - Roadrunner

[banabanana88]

you should put a bigger tag in the video :-/

[barbh1]

@banabanana88 I don't know what you mean. A "tag"? What is that?

[rocklvr71]

The Pretty Things were awesome, yet so underrated. Though I prefer Emotions to the more popular S.F. Sorrow, they were unique and they managed to keep their great sound throughout their entire discography. This footage is perfect set to their music (not to mention, it brings back memories of watching it as a kid) Great job. Thanks for sharing!

[barbh1]

@rocklvr71 thanks!

Underated very much so,saw them live at a venue in the North,UK. Me and a couple of mates saw them in a pub having a drink before the gig we began chatting to them great guys they were and they could knock 'em back.Good days they where as I keep saying about the era! ah well..

[crag15]

[tv240]

god,wile e coyote has got to be the most physically abused character in history.

[JeBeNL]

12 juni 1965 this number was on the Dutch Top 40 : number 11 . I've bought that single........

[barbh1]

Thanks for the comment.  Do you know The Outsiders? I have made many videos with their music.

[JeBeNL]

Sure I know the Dutch Outsiders, with leadsinger : Wally Tax. Can you tell me more about that videos?

[mrbag60]

First heard the PT's version of "Roadrunner" back in the late-70's on one of the few free-form or progressive rock stations left at the time totally blowing my mind and have loved this song and the band ever since.

[barbh1]

@mrbag60 I think you are one of very few Americans who know about The Pretty Things. I only came across them on Youtube a few years ago, and then I went to London to see them live. What an unforgettable show!

[mrbag60]

This is true. While the Rolling Stones (which guitarist Dick Taylor was briefly in) are a household name, if you ask most anyone (even 60's music lovers) in the US about the Pretty Things, you quite often get a blank stare. In that the PT's are not alone; other great 60's mod bands like the Birds, The Creation, The Attack, The Action, even the Small Faces somehow never went over well here. Alas, perfect blending of the cartoon with the song. Thanks or Meep! Meep!

[barbh1]

I remember seeing one picture of The Pretty Things back then and thinking I liked their style - dirty and rebellious. But then, no more publicity.

Meouw!

[alonenjersey]

The only way a person can sit still through this song is if they were in a coma.

[ex1le444]

@alonenjersey yes!

[Danygirl1969]

Great job combining this song with the cartoon!! I love it -- and the cartoon works great with the action sped up -- especially the part where coyote is swallowed by the giant cannon. Thanks for making me laugh today barbh1! Roadrunner is the best!

[barbh1]

@Danygirl1969 Thanks! I'm glad I made you laugh. The Pretty Things and Roadrunner are an awesome team!

[waylo4526]

yeah man this is so cool,i was born 20 years too late:(

[barbh1]

@waylo4526 You're not too late -they're still going strong, playing gigs in Europe. I've heard they're coming to the U.S. this year. Fabulous fun band to see live. Their fan site is called Revenge of the Electric Banana for gig dates.

[barbh1]

@waylo4526 They're still playing and they still rock the house! It's not too late, Waylo.



[jt123egypte]

A MASTERPIECE! One of the few covers that was of a greater quality than the original of the divine Bo Diddley!

[barbh1]

I just saw The Pretty Things last year. They still kick out the jams!

[Wehategod]

The Pretty Things Fuck Yeah the most Underated British Rock Group of all time.

[Usurped]

[jt123egypte]

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE !

[connecticut25]

real coyotes were harmed in making these cartoons.chuck jones was a serial animal killer.he dropped real coyotes off the cliffs of arizona,with a group of hunters and incorporated those scenes in his animations.what a cruel,beastly man indeed.

[peybuck]

Wylie reminds me of Tom from Tom & Jerry. Tom was always getting his ass-kicked, and so was Wylie.

[barbh1]

I always liked Tom and Jerry, too. I used to read the comic books in my backyard.

[tv240]

it has been confirmed by a member of chuck jones family.chuck jones was a serial animal killer.he once arranged a trip to arizona with a few hunters.they killed a few coyotes and pushed two of them down a cliff.jones enjoyed the scene and from there the idea of dropping coyotes of cliff came in to his mind.he secretly encouraged horse slaughter and had a beastly mindset.

[peybuck]

omg ur worst than peta. srsly STFU

[americagod]

your mother must be a bitch,to raise such an asshole like you.

[Mindslash47]

STFU!!
