American Pie
Don McLean
1972
Full Length Video
This video was created in 1989 by a group of professional video makers, who believed that they could create a video for a fantastic song from the past.
Songs that were released and were big hits, BEFORE videos were ever conceived.
These videos were aired on TV back in 1989, on a show called DEJA VIEW, hosted by John Sebastian.
Never at anytime, was this song, or video, used to make money, sold, or transferred for profit by me.
I have posted this video, out of love for the music and respect for all the people involved.

  • Canadiana71 ... Very nice analogy ... very nice indeed.

  • Buddy Holly ... is the person "The Day the music died" ... according to Don Mclean at least.

  • TRUE BLUE, thank you for putting this video up. But, to be polite, this isn't from 1972. Yes, I used to watch the '80's video show DEJA VU. This video was made FOR THE SHOW. It was a retro music show. if you look at it, the video clearly looks like the 80's, not nearly with a 70's look. Look at any video from the 70's an you'll see.

    Hi WarDrum ... I think I fixed the description Title correctly. Thank you, any time I can put up something to help, please feel free to drop me a note.

    Take Care, Eh

  • There should be a movie about this video

  • Don McLean had asthma. He sang a 8 and a half minute long song. Truly amazing.

  • This song came out the year I was born. Buddy Holly died 12 years before. Listening to these lyrics always gives me goosebumps. The beginning when he mentions the paper headline and the near the end when he references the "girl who sang the blues" and him asking if she had "some happy news". I am picturing Janis Joplin in her sunglasses, long, untamed hair just smiling and walking away and leaving him to draw his own conclusions.

  • Happy 40th anniversary, American Pie. On this day 40 years ago, you hit #1 on the Billboard Charts. Never forget today, the day the music died.

  • i have always wondered who is the person this song talks about?

  • @MrTwL123 I know how you feel all though you probably want to be born a little earlier the me for me the 90's are the time to be

  • whyyyyyy do i have to be born in this generation fml
