This is what happens when I stay up too late.
Inspired by urban design issues like public transit and artists like Bill Nelson, this tricked-out trippy transportation trance track was put together (with video) in about 6 hours on a Friday night; a muse touched me and guided the result in one enchanted swoop.
The footage is entirely from the 1945 Encyclopedia Britannica film "The Bus Driver". The clips laid themselves in nice and neat with not too much screwing around; at one point almost 30 seconds of uncut original stock with edits, film breaks, and splices just fell into place just fine. Special thanks to the Prelinger Archive at www.archive.org for the awesome public domain source reel.
The music was assembled in GarageBand from a disc of more than 2000 loops by AMG; several bed tracks were modified, pitch-bent, echoed, layered, and generally messed up real nice before importing the compiled soundtrack into iMovie 5.

If you look closely, you can see John Candy and Steve Martin near the back of the bus. Across from the couple making out.

I miss the days of aggressively friendly bus drivers making the rides film-worthy events. I think the last time one extended their hand to me, it was in the process of flicking a cigarette away.
