Musical Monday with White Town

Every so often, we come across an item that, by itself, encapsulates the spirit of the Shades of Gray blog by seeming to be a manifestation of the mish-mash of content here. From silent movies, through the 1950s, and into the 1980s--you'll find that vibe in this 1990s song and video from White Town. The video looks like it's set in 1960s England but features silent movie tropes and humor, and it supports a electronica that samples a hook from a 1930s song that itself was a cover of a 1920s song.
