Having only posted Jarrett sweater updates recently, I've been itching to do something a little more creative on vimeo. I have a playlist of songs in iTunes that I want to use for movies, and determined that I needed to use 'song' by artist. I thought another clip dub would be fun and the Internet Archive has so many good things to use. I figured that 'One Got Fat' would go well with this song because both the video and the singer have each had their moment of fame, which was a good while ago. There isn't a profound message in this; just thought that these two worked well together, though they might be commiserating their fate together.

Video: 'One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety' from Archive.org ( archive.org/details/OneGotFa1963 )

    Thanks, Karen. I guess scaring kids can be an effective way of getting them to bike safely.
