Hardrock Coco & Joe

Before Madonna and M-TV, this is what people of My Generation considered a music video. "Hardrock, Coco, & Joe" originally premiered on WGN's Garfield Goose Show back in 1956 and quickly became a seasonal hit with children and adults alike. Although the animation by todays standards would be considered crude, it is still charming to watch. As a child this was one of my favorites, and in the spirit of Christmas, I would like to share it with all of you.

It just goes to show how far animation has come since this was orginally created. Perhaps 50 years from now, someone will see a clip from "Cars" or "Toy Story" and think, "WOW...This is terrible! How did the kids back then watch this???"

I remember seein this on ch 20 in Detroit years ago atleast 40 or more years. These things are HIDEOUS LOOKING! They dont look the slightest bit as cute as Rudolph from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
