26 REDS & A BOTTLE OF WINE

Here is a pretty awesome Scopitone of Johnny Hallyday singing Noir C'est Noir. This could easily fall into the awesome choreography category, no one can keep the fucking beat. No wonder the French lost the war. The dancing is terrible. Did the director see this and go, "Yeah, we got it, that's a wrap! Good work people!"?

Well, he was french so it was: "Oui, nous l'avons obtenu, nous sommes faits! Le bon travail chacun!" The director's French was terrible.

Thank God they checker boarded the ground and walls white and black. I never would have gotten this tune's subtle subtext otherwise.

By the by, if you're wondering what a scopitone is, that's a shame.

No, it was a video jukebox system that started in the early sixties in France. Guess they had nothing better to do. Anyway, some awesome scopitones are available at this website. You simply MUST watch The Tornadoes video for The Robot. It's extraordinary.
