Actually, they sort of had been. Promotional clips of potential hit records date back to the 1920s, but up to the late 1950s, they were on film. Videotape was new and fairly crude in 1961; 6 Twilight Zone episodes were recorded that way, but the inability to easily edit it convinced CBS to switch back to film. I don't know when the first song promotional clip was recorded on video, but during the 1960s, a number of them were put into film cartridges and send out to jukebox-like machines (allegedly controlled by the mafia) that played them for a few quarters. Though one might expect something that would sound tinny and look crude, the quality of the ones posted on YT is surprising. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l52qr8uJoZjAfKw.html

Without doubt the craziest sounding unique pop song of all times. Will forever stand alone, completely mad but fantastic. I loved it at the time and nothing has ever come close to surpassing it since.

Schade das dies Truppe nicht mehr gibt Ich mag dieses Lied es ist super.

Fabulous, first ever record that my Aunt bought for me when I was a child. She has now saddly passed away so it holds a special place in my heart ❤.

My childhood in a nutshell. My parents forever used to play this song to me, then to have it played on my 18th birthday. Some of the few good memories to be treasured 🥰😊
