Power Anthems

Mighty God King mentioned Power Anthems in a recent post. I have a number of songs - and several music videos - I consider Power Anthems. I'll stick to videos for now, as MGK did. I'll post links here to a few.

I like this partly because of the song, but also partly because of the background. These guys used Copyrighted and Trademarked material in what was essentially a novelty song, something not uncommon back then. However, this one became a hit, and attracted the creator's attention. Now, he could have been nasty about it, but instead said, approximately, "Guys, you need a contract to use this. Here's my agent's number." So Charles Schultz not only got a cut from a hit song, he made some friends. Who then went on to make at least two successful sequels.

This one is mine, put together without edits. Just a straight video clip to an uncut music track. A perfect example of why scaring someone to activate their latent psi powers is A VERY BAD IDEA.

Oh, yeah. Gainax and ELO.
