Animated video clip of Elvis Costello's "Accidents Will Happen" (1979). High quality sound and video.

I uploaded this clip because the other versions of this song on youtube look and sound like second or third generation recordings from VH1.

Enjoy the amazing period animation from Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton! The team that brought you Max Headroom!

In 2003, this video was one of only 35 videos selected for inclusion in the Museum of Modern Art's prestigious "Golden Oldies Of Music Video" exhibition.

    You are hearing one of the best bass players in music.

    I asked a kid at my high school if he was an Elvis Costello fan. He said "Yeah, I love 'Hound Dog!'" What has this world come to?

    You are absolutely right. I have never really listened to the bass in this song before. It is brilliant.

    I love Elvis Presley's original song "Radio Radio." God, what a timeless devotion of love to Jesus.

    but malk that isn't elvis presley and that isn't what radio radio is about

    SHUT UP.

    Yep, that was first time I ever heard it and it made check out Elvis Costello's music. Became a fan thanks to ET.

    I still crack up at Michael's made up verse about only having health food shit when he's looking in the fridge when he sings this song.
