Listener Rob made his first video mash-up, combining the histrionics of Bollywood legend Mohammed Rafi with the Psych-Polka stylings of Primus' Les Claypool. Here is Welcome to This Jan Pehechan-Ho: [download windows video, 48 megs] The original video of Jan Pehechan-Ho, from the Bollywood movie Gumnaam can be downloaded from Brian's post here.
Along similar lines, here's an old video mashup that I missed the first time around, Hey Ya, Charlie Brown, by "Snoopy," combining Outkast's Hey Ya! with the irrestible animated choreography of Charles Schultz: download quicktime video, 9 megs. via antville
And on the heavier side, here's a video from the latest Scott Walker album The Drift. This is an appropriately bleak animation to Scott's apocalyptic nightmare song Jesse, directed by Graham Wood. This is a big download, but if your affection for Scott isn't 88 megs big, you can always see it at youtube. Download mp4 video, 88 megs.
the peanuts video easily made my year. I think it's the first time I'd heard that song all the way through. I lived for Peanuts as a kid. Funny though, I remember the specials being on CBS not ABC.
Thank you so much for posting this.

I have to admit, I couldn't get through the entire "Drift" video before my curiosity forced me to check out Scott Walker doing a 60s Japanese chocolate bar commercial. THAT was worth the journey.

Woo hoo! Your posting of the Les Claypool Rafi mashup inspired me to create a Blur/Rafi mashup! http://gardnecl.home.comcast.net/clint/2007/09/elaine-goes-to-india.ht
