Wow! I'm a big Klaatu fan from the time they first appeared on the scene. I have heard of the existence of this video but have never seen it. Thanks for posting. Really nice animation, a style I've always loved but has been overshadowed by the over produced computer graphics of our present generation. I see our friend, the Mouse, appears (on the man's shoulder) as he does at the opening and close of the albums. I somehow forgot the significance of the Mouse. Can someone refresh my memory?

The mouse started out on the first album cover as the 'recipient' of the sunshine coming from the smiling sun...the band decided to continue using it as their mascot thereafter. The man in the video, by the way, is the band's lead vocalist on "Routine Day", John Woloschuk.

One of my all time favorite bands, and well it's no secret they are from Canada. To bad they are poor amazing song writers!

@don1023512008 Hope is, or was.

Amazing band and I am so glad they are available via technology, cause all my vinyl is still in my brother in laws basement in Hamilton and I am here in Los Angeles.

Me asusta tanto el parecido a "The Beatles", enserio da miedo pensar que Paul está muerto, pero de todas formas, excelente banda.

[don1023512008]

Is any of their music available on CD ?

Video emitido en el programa Disco Club de canal 7 (Peru). Lo vi varias veces a comienso de la decada del 80 en aquel programa. Ahora lo estube viendo, aqui en Canada

@cristicini Have no fear sir. The 35th anniversary re-issue of '3:47 EST' (with their former producer Terry Brown helping out) is on its way in two weeks. There is also a biopic movie based on their life story in the works.

@bullseyecanada Well I am glad you where able to help them cause they where sensational but then again a small following really and what a pity that good music like this is never found or even felt after being heard by most!

@EnazSnibbor1 Also note the smiling sun on the gondola and the rest of the band members heading to the pub.

@bullseyecanada But not the recognition or recompense they deserve for the amazing work.
