Random, yes but I can't remember the song, though that image is fixed well in my memory. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I'm trying to figure out what that darn song was.

Originally Posted By basil fan Blecchhh! I can't help you, BM, but I also liked many of the DTVs. Even if I hated the song, I enjoyed the clips if they went well with the lyrics & music. Purple People Eater was one of the best.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 I don't remember yours, Bernard, but I remember yours, TDG. My favorites were Kenny Rogers' "Lady," with clips from Lady & the Tramp (I still think of that song every time I watch the movie, lol), and "Mad About the Boy" with Pluto and his dauschaund lady friend.

Originally Posted By Dznygrl Bernard, I remember the videos you're talking about but unfortunately I don't remember the T-Rex one...two of them that will always stick in my mind though is this one about a boy getting a haircut. The song sorta went like "You need a haaaaaaaaaaaircut, you need a haircut, you really need a haircut!" LOL. And then another one about a girl wearing "Polka Dots, Checks, and Stripes (Yipes!)". LOL, the DTVs were classic! I always think of Purple People Eater when I watch Sword in the Stone.

Okay, maybe I don't remember it so well, but they actually used some Black Cauldron clips! Yay!!

Originally Posted By basil fan Now I remember my favorite DTV: That Old Black Magic. Spike Jones' recording had sound effects mixed in, & I loved the way the clips matched the sounds. I wonder if there were enough of these to make a DVD? Like a Sing-Along Song thing. I'm not sure I'd want to own it, but I'd love to rent it.

Remember the other one where the guy stole the moon "where o where o where o has the moon gone" and also remember the music videos from the guy who does the voice of Sebastian from the Little Mermaid. Ah, the good ol days of the Disney Channel, back when the Disney Channel existed, today there is no such thing....
