Baby talk survives word police!
While it wasn't my intention, it must look like baby day at Classical Values, because first there was fetal alcohol syndrome.... And then, before that had had time to clear my system, I stumbled onto a favorite song from Jan and Dean. I've watched it twice now, and I think it's just unbelievably fantastic. Seriously. It's from another world. I cannot imagine anyone making a video like this today. While the lryics might be considered a bit much for modern standards, in those days, there was no Culture War. Thank God. * In the interest of complete accuracy, I should probably point out that in 1959, to quote the lyrics, "I was only five years old..." Well I was! posted by Eric on 02.25.07 at 03:49 PM

That is incredible! As a 10 year old stuck in Missouri, I loved J&D and all the Southern Cal. surf music. Any idea what the buttons with IFIC on them mean? Mark G. · February 26, 2007 09:01 PM No idea whatsoever. Eric Scheie · February 26, 2007 09:23 PM Weird? No way. It's called entertainment. It's simply a fun a fun song, for fun's sake - from a era when people where much less full of themselves. I love it. RE · February 28, 2007 06:58 AM Post a comment

WOW - I really do not know what to say about this video. Another world, for sure; probably a much better world in most ways, really innocent, but a bit weird.
