Music Fan?

Whistling was popular back then with milkmen ... the coal man the postman but to get a global hit with whistling!!!!!!!
 
I've never seen this George Harrison clip before .... how weird!
Gives a glimpse into his humour and why he set up hand made films ....
 
Is there any equivalent humour in music these days?
It was completely mad back then.
Freddie and the Dreamers and this lot!
 
David Jason as Hughie Green!!!!

 
One of my all time favourite pieces of old pop footage .... quite incredible ... from a film.
Dion.
 
This was 1962!
No way could you do this now.
We are no longer as free.
Like the smoking in the Dion clip ... no more no longer free people.


"Ahab the Arab" is a novelty song written and recorded by Ray Stevens in 1962. In the song, Arab is pronounced "Ay-rab" to rhyme with Ahab. The hero of the story is Clyde the camel and Stevens has made references to Clyde numerous times throughout his career.
