I found this ancient song by the 1910 Fruitgum Co. and decided to have a little fun with it. Seeing how it had no video, I set out to find a video that would lend itself to the tune. Lo and behold, my mind immediately turned to Gerry Anderson's "Thunderbirds". With a little searching around I found a video from the Thunderbird movie featuring a song called "Shooting Star" sung by a Thunderbird character called Cliff Richard Jr. I thought it appropriate, so I went about editing. I had fun with it and I'm kinda happy the way it turned out. ENJOY!

Note: I've taken into consideration, in our overly politically correct society, that some might not think this appropriate. However, given that I am First Nations/ Native American, I think that allots me some sort of licence to have a little fun and poke some fun. I suppose we have to recognize the era in which this was originally released. Moreover, I'm almost positive that any radio that dare played this in this day and age would immediately be chastised for doing so. But, such is life.

P.S. Just for the record. I think it's a very infectious tune. It kinda grows on you. Anyways, play it to your hearts content and comment if you wish.

FYI.

  • Conan O'Brien on drums!

  • Great to hear the song and even better to see the Gerry Anderson puppets again. Don't ruin the mood by worrying about political correctness. The world was in much better shape when Archie Bunker was politically correct!
