Another Video Blog.

I will get back to writing soon...at the moment I don't feel like I have anymore to say, but these videos makes me happy.

Back many, many years ago Elvis Costello appeared on Saturday Night Live. He wanted to play Radio Radio, but the producers said no due to the "controversial" nature of the song. I could explain the whole thing, but you could you just go read for yourself at Wikipedia and I can save a whole lot of time.

I once found the original broadcast version on Youtube, but it has since disappeared, but luckily I found this which made me very happy. Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beastie Boys with Elvis Costello and one of his best songs...





Also, Weird Al has been known to pay tribute to the performance live as well (you can also read about that on the Wikipedia page) and I have found video of that to share with you too (give it about a minute and a half):
