A fan video of a song by THE CHURCH that appears on their "Magician Among The Spirits" album. All the images for this video were obtained by using google images searches using the lyrics as a base. I could not find everyone mentioned in this song by this method by the way - can you spot who isn't there (one is very obvious). There are two which just appear to be Church related, and this is because the people mentioned were engineers and technicians on the album.
This second version was created after I discovered who some of these folk are, and replaced their images, and entirely replaced the end sequence.

Thanks for the excellent video/lyrics: Welcome - The Church [Canberra, Australia] - 1996 - "A Lou Reed-esque walk through history with references to many famous people. One of their BEST songs after all these years. Very GOOD first impression." - Deep In The Shallows: The Classic Singles [import] (EMI) [Disc 2]-2007.
