Not the Nine O' Clock News' has aged very badly. It is not even in the league of 'Fawlty Towers', which Lennon is right in saying is the greatest show ever.

@therealjdc Reported speech. Some other group had a modest hit back in '63 using that tense. Although I admit it is kind of odd sounding even there.

That is definitely Jools Holland 'interviewing'. This must be from the early 1980s music show 'The Tube' on British tv - one of the flagship programmes for Channel 4 which was launched in 1982. The show was shown at teatime on a Friday and watched mostly by schoolkids and teens. Glad to see hi...

This guy is a really poor interviewer. Dick Cavett he ain't.

No mention of the contribution Scottish Presbyterians have made to Canadian society? Sad.

Is that Jools Holland you can hear in the first couple of seconds?

"Did you enjoy yourself"? Then turn away with the microphone while she is answering - way to go Tony. You sure made her feel small. I'll put it down to incompetent presenting skills, as I wouldn't want to label you as insincere buddy. Actually you were the best presenter of TOTP.

Poor John Lennon - he should have just stayed home, instead of moving to New York and befriending a lot of charlatan creeps like Ginzberg and Spector.

That's not going to happen, I'm afraid. Take a look around you - the society that created that culture has died out. They stopped having children and the consumers and creators of music simply weren't being born. It is simple demographics - it is no accident that the era of mass record sales in...

This is more like an interrogation than an interview - you can see they are seething inside, and no wonder. Were there any music journalists employed by tv anywhere in the world back then? Almost all their interviews seem to be with stiff-collared twats asking one inane question after the other.

Man they should have checked John's mike was working before that set. What an incredible oversight for such an historic performance!

Spot the product placement!

I wish billionaires would give money to people like Aubrey instead of wasting it buying sports organisations. What a waste of money!

Harry Enfield - as funny as the bubonic plague.

@DaveS12382 You're a real charmer. Come back when your balls have dropped.

God, Joan Rivers is a pain in the neck. Truly awful woman.

John Lennon wanked in that room, looking at pictures of Brigit Bardot. Just saying...

As McCartney said, he should have called this 'Can Buy Me Love'.

Why can't more girls from Glasgow dress imaginatively like this? Instead of in mini skirts half way up their backsides, with fake tan and fake blonde hair, in the middle of winter? I guess the generation that grew up in the seventies actually had imagination and an appreciation of genuine popula...

Three chavs who got lucky. No offence, but these girls have no culture of their own. I bet they had never even heard of the Bangles before their management suggested recording this. For people of this generation in the UK, music is singing in a washed out imitation of a soul singer. God our ...

It's a pity this didn't happen at the start of the picture! They could have made a movie about the guys in the truck, it would have been more interesting.

This was number 1 in the UK when I was born on 14th August 1967. Great song, but like others here I think the political legacy of the 60s is mixed. The era of the contraceptive pill and 'free love' has had a devastating impact on the western world, and what is happening now particularly in Euro...

I saw in a magazine interview Susanna Hoffs referring to one of the Bangles videos that was uploaded here, so she obviously has visited youtube - I wonder if she felt flattered by all the comments referring to her beauty and youthfulness. Maybe she eventually got creeped out by the relentless wor...

Wow! Shocked to see you-know-who in this video. I remember at the time he was viewed as a somewhat comic figure, although putting him into a video seems a bit out of place now. Things were so innocent back in 86 - it's a real shame what has happened to the world since then.

@JDhappy81 That's Steve Wright, an 80s DJ on BBC Radio 1 who did his own comedy characters on his radio show. He is being ironic here, not malicious. He is obviously taking a sly dig at Atomic Kitten who had just had a successful cover of this - a young and talentless 'product' (in all senses o...

@defrancotv The guitar cable behind 'John' isn't attached  to an amplifier, it is just coiled up on the floor - a sure fire sign that they are miming!

Who is this guy? Why is everyone making angry comments about him? What did he do?

Bizarre that Aubrey has to compete with a marching band in this video! The audio in a lot of his videos is bad enough without this! Still worth listening to though...

God this is still brilliant! The earliest song I can remember - doing the dance on the living room floor. Where did all those years go, and why is everything so crummy now? Hell, this 'novelty record' has more musical talent than most of the crap that passes for music nowadays. The country re...

This 1978 single was a tribute to Guy the Gorilla, London Zoo's most famous animal, who died that year.

Jane Asher did not end up drug addled and childless - so I guess she is the winner.

@1luiszepol Well spotted! Never noticed that before.

Wow! An impersonation of Gary Glitter on national American tv!

Stokowski was a genius.

There was an earthquake in this village on the day I was born - 14th August 1967.

This guy seems to be enjoying the limelight a little bit too much. Going into every tiny detail, one after the other, in this account is a little bit unseemly. In defence of Mr Hartnell he is probably a very precise person my nature. I guess it's my problem.

If this was the biggest light entertainment show in the world in 1964 - wouldn't one expect the production staff to check if all the microphones were working properly before the show started?
