Original
16mm Scopitone conversion, from the 'summer of love' 1967 hit record,
remuxed and refurbished in 2006 (I should re-upload in higher quality, I
know, I will when I find the time to search my harddisks and stuff..).
Fixed audio-sync as well. Sound engineer of this famous mono mix was
Keith Grant. Vocals and piano played by Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher
played the Hammond organ, and these original lyrics were written by
Keith Reid;
We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda' seasick
the crowd called out for more
the room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
when we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
and so it was that later
as a mirror told its tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said: "There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see"
but I wandered through my playing cards
would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might just as well've been closed
and so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face at first just ghostly
turned a whiter shade of pale..
