[ETA: I was finally able to access folcvideo.com. Yay!] After the last video I was kind of apprehensive about posting a new one because I feel like no matter what I do it won't be as well received. I decided to go ahead anyway, especially since this one was more of a challenge I posed to myself and I'd like to see whether others think I've succeeded. I figured it's relatively easy to do a music video set to a romantic love song, but Bryan Adams\' Summer of \'69 is a tricky one to do with L&C. Especially the first verse nearly drove me crazy  . Anyway, I did my best. Let me know what you think. Summer of \'69 (temporary download site) Summer of \'69 (folcvideo.com)

Hey, I thought you did a great job! I mean obviously some stuff just wasn't going to match up exactly. Darn Clark for never playing the guitar. But I still think you captured the mood well. JD

Darn Clark for never playing the guitar. Or darn Bryan Adams for not writing other lyrics. Sort of along these lines: Got my first real laptop
Bought it at a Best Buy sale
Typed until the keyboard smoked
Was the summer of '93
Me and some guys from work
Were a team and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit
Lois got married
Should have known it wouldn't work out
etc.And he could have even kept the "Jimmy quit" line .

No need to worry about how this will be recieved, CA. This was an incredibly hard song to vid for this fandom, but I love what you did with it. Great job!

Nice!  I always liked that song -- and you did a really good job matching the lyrics, considering how un L&C-ish they were <g> PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Great Job! I think you did a wonderful job of matching the lyrics as best as the show permitted. I love this song and I think you succeeded in your challenge! ~Kristen
Joey: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

Awesome video, I love this song, and it worked so great for L&C
"You're everything that's good about the human race.
You showed me what it means to be close to someone.
You inspire me to be better, to work harder for a better tomorrow.
You represent everything I'm supposed to believe in.
I was sent here to find you, to be with you."-Clark to Lois
