Yes! It's finally here. I've asked Bedazzled for it before and now at last everybody can enjoy this fantastic video. Just to make sure you'll watch it I've posted some teaser screenshots for you. But of course it doesn't even give you half an idea.
Mother Nature, Father Time was both the name of a single and an album from Brook Benton in 1965. Neither of them did very well on the charts but that's neither here nor there today. No, for today you'll see the video which is ranked #1 on my weirdo chart. Enjoy!
Watch it at YouTube or go to Bedazzled for other options.
Note: For Swedish readers I'd just like to say that I saw this at least once on the TV show Nattsudd with Svante Grundberg and Björn Wallde some time between -85 and -88 and was instantly smitten. And the sounds and images has stuck in my memory since. And now you know. Soon they will have stuck to yours.

The original Swedish Pippi Longstocking theme song on YouTube and here is one in English if that's your cup of tea. And in French(!) with charming illustrations! Three more original Pippi songs. Pippi, Tommy, Annika and Astrid Lindgren on Hylands Hörna in 1970. Pippi in a sword fight with Lennart Hyland (He was Sweden's Johnny Carson - kind of.) A longer clip from an episode where Pippi's father - Beppe Wolgers - appears (in Swedish of course).

My Baby Just Cares For Me... "featured on her (Nina Simone 1933-2003) debut album Little Girl Blue (1958) and was unnoticed for many years. Then in the mid-1980s, the song gets used in a Chanel no.5 advertisement. It was released as a single, and became one of Simone's biggest hits, causing her comeback."
Wikipedia
"Simone would never benefit financially from the album (Little Girl Blue), because she sold the rights for 3000 dollars. It meant that she missed out on more than 1 million dollars of royalties (mainly because of the successful re-release of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" in the 1980s)."

The animation is of course made by Aardman Animations.
"Strangers In the Night" is one of my favorite songs ever.
The song was originally written by Ivo Robić and then re-arranged for Frank Sinatra by one of the European kings of laid back orchestral easy listening (and I mean that in the most positive of ways!) Bert Kaempfert.
(The English lyrics were written by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder.)
I have a dozen of Herr Kaempfert's records. At least 2 of them has instrumental versions of the song.
Here is a wonderful clip of Bert Kaempfert and his Orchestra doing the song with the talanted and beautiful Swedish singer Sylvia Vrethammar. I think this show was recorded in 1979. Enjoy!
The clip was originally uploaded by operationuranus
(Note: I posted a video earlier on here at Martin Klasch In which you could enjoy Sylvia sing with Sivuca and Toots Thielemans)
