I think he's got a touch of the madness... You could go back to the first sound pictures. They put music to images from the start, whether a film of a band or cartoon animals romping about to music. But I think the "music video" should be considered as a short film used much like the hit single was used, to sell a band and its music. Sure, they did this back then, but not with the promotional push we saw in the 1980s. I remember saturation of Madonna's "Lucky Star"...

It's odd to me that in the debate over who created the music video these old soundies are completely ignored. I've seen some that were even somewhat conceptual--not merely performances, but little experimental films. Oh, and that bassist definitely looks like he's straight out of "Reefer Madness!"

I'm not sure but it sounds like there's a double bass being played on that?
