Excerpts of a 1972 video work.

"One of Baldessari's most ambitious and risky efforts. Seated and holding a sheaf of papers, he proceeds to sing each of Sol LeWitt's 35 conceptual statements to a different pop tune, after the model of Ella Fitzgerald Sings Cole Porter. What initially presents itself as humorous gradually becomes a struggle to convey Lewitt's statements through this arbitrary means."
—Helene Winer, "Scenarios/Documents/Images," Art in America 61 (March 1973)

Complete running time is ~15 minutes. Shown here are clips from the beginning & end.
