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.

I can remember watching this on the video monitors in clubs like Danceteria back then...It's not just a great (and ahead of it's time) video...but listening to the song really drives home a painfully sad and indisputable fact-the music being "created" these days SUCKS on a MASSIVE scale by comparison.
This is one of the best music videos ever. The really amazing thing is that it was made before anyone really gave a damn about making good music videos.
Wow, '79! This is like five to ten years ahead of it's time. That style of animation reminds me of the squiggly animation seen in many 80s and early 90s music videos.
