  5. ^ Interesting history too, Eric.

    If you search YouTube for "Scopitone," you'll find plenty more. Including a bizarre one with Brook Benton.

  6. I LOVE these things. They're very David Lychian. Or John Waters-ish.

    It's like some kind of a weird acid trip.

    I think both of those guys were probably influenced by Scopitones.
