House Of The Blue Danube

Lez Barstow was invited to direct this promo for Malcolm MacLaren in 1989, shortly after he directed the first of his Jive Bunny videos for Music Factory. I believe this was one of MacLaren's best tracks which unfortunately sank without trace in the UK market.

Thank Heavens For Ninja Turtles!

And this Malcolm and the Bootzilla Orchestra creation is still a marvelous example of fusion of high & pop cultures.

what a bizarre collection of imagery! good though in some strange way, awesome mix of raunchy guitar and classical music.

RIP! who the fuck wants to rest in peace? What a stupid acronym! When you're dead, lights out- brain is a lump of moulding meat. Make the most of your brain with the lights switched on! Maclaren's music did just that!

My ex-wife and I used to rollerskate (waltz) to this. It remains one of my favorites to this day. I didn't know that Jeff Beck played guitar on this cut.

R.I. P., Malcolm. I know that a lot of people diss you, but I salute you for doing what you believed in no matter what.

This is my favourite Malcolm Mclaren record. It got me interested in his music after it was used in a car advert!! I listened to the album for a long while and it gave me inspiration for my own musical ideas at the time. R.I.P Malcolm.

I remember seeing this when it first came out. R.I.P. Malcolm...
