Someone decided that a song from 1977 needed a new music video released for it, and I approve.

Gotta dig an old school, VH1-style music video made in 2025.

Looks like they pulled out some original 16mm stock for this one. (o.o)

Sort of a DIY music video medley.

Just another good old fashioned music video love triangle that starts with the boy going down on his girlfriend, but ends with her going off with a diminutive King Kong wannabe. Also has some barely adequate basketball play on view. Can't ask for more than that.

I've found this little gem - Dean Martin and the incredibly charming, talented and heavily underrated Caterina Valente are performing the "One Note Samba" in 1967 on Dean Martin's show (overall 12 appearances in that show). Valente was born in 1931 in Paris and of Italian descent. Aside the Italian she also had the French and German citizenship.

She was highly popular singer, dancer, guitar player, actor and entertainer in Germany of the 50s, where she had a lot of popular songs. She recorded her songs in 13 languages and spoke French, Italian, Swedish, German, English and Spanish fluently.

She also had her international career and a lot of appearances with Dean Martin, Dom DeLuise, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby and others. Looking at these appearance is a big, big rabbit hole let me tell you. She died at age 93 in 2024 in her home in Lugano, Switzerland.

Valente singing and dancing "That old black magic" on the Ed Sullivan Show of July 20, 1969.

Valente and Ella Fitzgerald joined by Perry Como singing "Avalon" in 1966.
