Il fait trop beau pour travailler!


I am seriously obsessed with Scopitone videos right now.

My favorite so far is the kooky "Le vampire" by Stella, the "anti-Sheila" or "anti ye-ye" of French pop.


I also love Joi Lansing. Scopitone vids could get away with being way racier than anything they showed on television, because they were essentially video jukeboxes.


This Condors song is catchy too.


My year is a day.


Antoine.


"Comic Strip" by Serge Gainsbourg, featuring Brigitte Bardot, is an amazing video, holy is she wicked. I love that jumpsuit/boots combo, with all the necklaces and the cape, and the thigh-chains. Embedding is disabled but check it out here.

I could probably go on forever, posting Scopitone videos. And I probably will.
Check out Bedazzled for tons of Scopitone videos.
