Music video roundup from the 1960s

Here are a few old songs I’ve come across and enjoyed lately on YouTube.

Small Faces — Itchycoo Park (1967)

An innocent song about teenage drug use and truancy. Itchycoo is slang for stinging nettle, an herb I swear by for pollen allergies.

The American Breed – Bend Me, Shape Me (1968) This band’s only huge hit was a remake of the The Outsiders’ song from year before.

Lemon Pipers – Green Tambourine (1967)

Françoise Hardy — Ce Petit coeur (1965)

The Osmonds — Chilly Winds (1970) (No video, just this groovy pin-up.)

This song appeared in Pretty Maids All in a Row, an underrated creepy movie from 1970 written by Gene Roddenberry, directed by Roger Vadim, and starring Rock Hudson, who plays a high school football coach who rapes and murders the female students. If you want to watch it, you’ll have to TiVo it, Torrent it, or buy a used VHS copy.
