The Velvet Underground on Lawrence Welk

Velvetundergroundcolor0il1 So great to see this rare TV performance from a 1968 Lawrence Welk show here (download video, 5 megs, mpeg file), or stream via, what else, You Tube. Good to see the Velvets inspiring the audience to cut a rug, which probably didn't happen much at Max's Kansas City where people probably stood around being uber-cool.

and to think i always left the room when that show came on. is that cut on the album shown at the beginning of the clip? is it my imagination or did i hear a jazz LP years ago recorded by the Lawrence Welk Band that was really good.

Fake as fake can be.

Totally fake. BTW MR.Bali Hai the cut you're looking for is called Sister Ray and it appears on the Velvet's White Light/White Heat.

A very crap joke. Even a 5 year old could do better than this.

Geez. We take our VU so seriously. Personally, I laughed my head off at this one.

Oh c'mon, that was great! I really think it was the VU. That was definitely Mo bangin away on that one drum. Nice work on the Vox by Mr. Cale. Surely just a coincidence that it was posted on youtube on April Fool's Day Eve.

Audio mash-ups are bad enough...now we have to endure these confounded **video mash-ups** for the next few years?

The idea is kinda neat, but the execution on this one misses the mark completely. Like audio mash-ups, the novelty wears-off in about 3 seconds ("Oh, the Lawrence Welk Orchestra...and the Velvet Underground...ooh, funny!...next clip, please...")

Woulda been funnier seeing the Velvet Underground playing over Welk's "Baby Elephant Walk"

better link next time...Alexa

Trype, trip, trap. It is more fun to find stuff like this on the "Blog" than most crap people spend hours attaching their ears and eyes to on the internet.
Lighten up and take it with a grain of salt instead of rubbing salt into the sore. It was rather funny.

PENELOPE SAID:

Oh, OK...it's not a video mash-up...it's an "experimental short" -
I liked it better when it was just a video mash-up and not a student film.

Someone writing "this is fake" is almost as funny as the video itself. -Tom
