Old Song.

[SAULGENESISF]

When i was younger, i remember seeing a music video, that was traditionally animated, from the late 1960's or early 1970's (although for some reason i can't remember which), and in it there is a sun (or moon) with a face and a man flying through the night sky. i know this description is very vague and i can't remember how the song goes or who did it, but this has been getting on my nerves for a while. I can only remember what i've just told and also that the song is something i liked. Does anyone have a clue what song this is?

Are you sure it wasn't a rabbit?? Sounds like the end of Watership Down with Bright Eyes???

[SAULGENESISF]

No, it wasn't a rabbit, it was on some music channel, but i know what you're talking about, i used to watch watership down, thanks.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but it is a suggestion. Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens - Teaser & Firecat animated + live Intro - 1973

[SAULGENESISF]

I thought about Cat Stevens...he was one of the first people i tried, but i couldn't find the video i was looking for. I've got a good memory, but sometimes it slips up and i only remember fragments. Thanks for the comment.

The video to 'Rio' by Mike Nesmith had him flying through the night sky but it wasn't animated in the traditional sense so probably not that either?

[ermintrude35]

..was Mr Blue Sky by ELO an animated video?...can't seem to find the original on youtube....

[SAULGENESISF]

In response to Dr Wu,
maybe you're right, maybe i'm just remembering it wrong, it's a very vague memory anyway, i could be thinking that it was traditionally animated when it wasn't. Thanks.

[SAULGENESISF]

I've checked out the Mike Nesmith one, good track, but not the right one. Thanks anyway

[SAULGENESISF]

No, i don;t think Mr Blue Sky was an animated video, at least i can't find a animated video for that song.

everyones gone to the moon

[SAULGENESISF]

I've heard 'Everyone's gone to the moon' before, but no matter how much i like Jonathon King, it isn't the right song. Sorry.
Thanks for the comment

[ermintrude35]

..ok the ELO song I was thinking of is The Diary Of Horace Wimp... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFU9HYyMVxQ .... probably not it, but still a good vid and song.....

[SAULGENESISF]

No the right one, i have that song on cd, Discovery the album is. Great tune, thanks.

[ImLostAgain]

No sun or moon in this one but its the only animated one I remember off hand.

[SAULGENESISF]

No, Jackie Wilson was not the right singer. Thanks anyway.

I think it is closer to someone like Cat Stevens. I think there might be an 'E' in the name though, 'Edward', 'Edwin', etc. Or maybe it's his last name. I remember a family member watching the video with me and saying 'he's gone a bit funny now', I think it might be mental issues or something.
