Musical Monday with Phil Collins

We wish the great musician and singer Phil Collins a one-day belated Happy Birthday on this Musical Monday! We hope you'll enjoy this classic song and its great video. Like the best music videos, it's something of a mini-movie--and even moreso than most, with humorous inside references and creative use of celebrity look-alikes, stock footage, and trick photography.

Something just came to mind: In some ways, this video encapsulates what goes on at this blog, what with the way it remixes and matches bits and pieces from across the decades while throwing in some commentary and humor.
