bonzo

The uses for YouTube:

My lecturer for a popular music paper I'm doing this semester just discovered YouTube the other day and very excitedly repeated "You Tube, You Tube" to us. He had been trying to find old clips for the content of his lectures, namely for The Kinks, The Who and the Bonzo Dog Band.
Without YouTube he would not have been able to prepare his lecture.
Just for a bit of fun, here is a band that while they are not well known, collaborated a lot with Monty Python and influenced other musicians through their eclectic use of styles.

I apologise if these links don't work - I am doing this from home with my super-duper effeciently fast and useful dial-up and the vidoes... only.... load.... about one tenth of a second every minute so I couldn't check whether they work. The songs are 'Canyons of My Mind' and 'Mr Apollo'. See Mr Apollo in particular if you're a Bowie fan.

By the way, in case these clips make you feel your age, David Copperfield has discovered the fountain of youth.
Yep.
