1970's Video and also anyone know who this band is?

This is a little disturbing. Ok disturbing is a little harsh, maybe dorky.

1. This is the greatest music video of all-time...

And it isn't even close.

And the keyboard player has offically passed Jack Nicolson as Coolest Human Being Alive...

[Webster Green]

2. Very powerful!

Words fail, which is good, since I'm speechless.

11. Dude that was the dorkiest video I have ever seen.

And growing up in the 80's with MTV just starting, I have seen some bad ones.

5. My first reaction was German...

but Danish is close enough. :)

[fleabert]

4. LOL. I thought the women were topless for a while...

might as well have been tan lines! Made me think "has anyone ever made a bikini top that was flesh colored with nipples drawn on them?"

very silly and oh-so-seventies

6. The tune is okay

but that video deserves a Razzie all its own!

I confess--I grew up with all the boy bands of the 60s. So this tune pretty much falls into that era.

[AussieDave]

7. This looks like a '70s porn clip

I couldn't stop laughing - I remember the tune but can't tell you the name. It COULD be German or Danish.

Ahhh the '70s - the decade that good taste completely missed........

[Enraged_Ape]

8. Oh, God, I'm cryin' laughin'

[AussieDave]

9. Ain't it a hoot ??

I've never had that much hair on my entire body (let alone my head) in my whole life !! Those were the days......

[RetroLounge]

10. Tommy Seebach is correct

The song is Apache, and is a cover of a late 50's or early 60's tune which, by the way, I own on 45rpm.

Edit: Apache by the Shadows (1960) released in England and was a huge hit there. Covered immediately by Jorgen Ingmann and went #1 in the states.

12. It is scary how bad that was.

and his smile is a little disturbing.

[Droopy]

13. I think Michael Jackson might have stole a few moves

from the keyboard player. I think that's officially the cheesiest thing I've ever seen.

[texas1928]

14. The booty groove he has going is pretty lame.

But then it was WAY COOOL

[Maestro]

15. The 70's were such an fugly decade

and that guy has no stage presence whatsoever. He looks like a complete dweeb.

[Nevernose]

16. And yet the 70s gave us Abbey Road and the Doobie Brothers.

Someone should submit the entire decade to the Oxford English Dictionary as the perfect example of "paradox."

[Maestro]

18. Yeah, that is strange.

It was full of paradoxes. We have this one end, John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Queen, etc...on the other. I guess what I mean is that pop music in the 70's was so asinine and fake. There was definitely good music in that time period though and some charismatic people. This guy was not one of them. ;)

[Nevernose]

17. HOW DO I SAVE THIS?

Something about going to temp->internet settings? What if I'm using Mozilla?

[tjdee]

19. Right click on the link, then go to "Save Target As"....

Then put it in whatever folder you want.

[derby378]

21. That doesn't work

When I tried saving the movie, it only saves as a playlist. I want the movie itself. Anyone have any ideas?

[Dervill Crow]

23. Right click the link in the DU message and click "save target as."

Worked for me, though why I'm saving it I don't know. Guess to show how far we have evolved as a species in spite of what one would think from the US political scene.

[derby378]

20. Far out, man

The only thing this video needs is - wait for it - MORE COWBELL!!

[Dervill Crow]

22. Oh. My. God.

I remember that song. How embarrassing.
