  • Thanks for posting this. I have the special DVD with this excellent Air Force short and the only reason I purchased it.

    Now if you only had the beginning sequence with Raymond Burr hosting The Psalms that used to broadcast nationwide and at KHJ-TV 9 in the 60s and 70s...I loved the opening music that sounded like something David Raksin composed while Raymond Burr sat under a tree with the Book of Psalms. Remember that broadcast?

  • it's not one that I am familiar with myself but it definitely sounds like something fascinating to see

  • This must be the "A Clockwork Orange" version of The Star Spangled Banner.

  • My Guess Is That The Music Of It's Instruments Is That This SSB Rendition Could Be Done By Mannheim Steamroller.

  • Am I the only one that's reminded of the Enclave Radio from Fallout 3 whenever I watch this?

  • Thank you so much for posting this video. Many a night I stayed up light during summer vacation watching tv.  I've always loved "High Flight".

  • Makes me wondering if there is a link for this version of the anthem.

  • @RCaIabraro My thoughts exactly. As it was played on Moog :D

  • This was broadcast the year I was born. I had no idea that TV stations still signed off as late as the 1980's... this is the first time I've ever seen one of these. I think by the time I was old enough to stay up late, they no longer existed.

  • Anyone reminded of Poltergeist?

  • I want this clip burned to dvd...how can i? I still need internet back on my laptop.

  • This sing off was in early 1982 or in late 1982
