They died too soon.

Comrade Kevin suggested another Peter Cook Youtube in comments here, but my favorite of all time is the original Bedazzled, as Satan (complete with red socks, of course):



And another who died too young, the wonderful, wonderful Robert Palmer. This is the first rock video I EVER saw, on a Canadian TV show called "The New Music":

  1. I put on black when Robert Palmer passed, I did.

    Mercy, mercy, me.

  2. Great clip! Bedazzled with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, one of the best films ever! I love that movie! They don't get much better than this.

  3. And Bedazzled is coming out in a matter of a couple weeks on DVD, finally. It's been on Region 2 code forever, but finally they decided to make is so's us Yanks could see it properly.

  4. How I wanted to be Robert Palmer. He was the epitome of coolness.

  5. Quaker Dave, I hear ya. Remember his album Some People Can Do What They Like? The cover had Robert Palmer and some babe playing strip poker in the grass, while a chauffeur stood next to a limo. I so wanted to be Robert Palmer.
