Posted By: C_A New MV: Summer of '69 - 11/27/05 12:34 PM
[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 goofy . Anyway, I did my best. Let me know what you think.

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. goofy But I still think you captured the mood well.

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 goofy .

This video is so great, C_A!

That 'Nothing could last forever'... oh man. That's fantastic! laugh

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! smile I always liked that song -- and you did a really good job matching the lyrics, considering how un L&C-ish they were <g>
