Shangri Las - Leader of the Pack Posted by: voxpopulai
Video duration: 190 seconds Possibly the greatest of the Brill Building classics. Someone put this up awhile back but it disappeared, so here it is again.

Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947) Posted by: voxpopulai

Allan Sherman - Harvey and Sheila Posted by: voxpopulai
Video duration: 226 seconds Could this be one of the greatest parodies of all time?
