Music Video of the Day: Wonderin’ by Neil Young and The Shocking Pinks (1983, directed by Tim Pope)


I was going to feature Neil Young’s controversial video for This Note’s For You today but it turns out that the video can’t be embedded anywhere outside of YouTube.  That is probably because of a scene in the video in which a Michael Jackson impersonator sets his hair on fire while filming a commercial.  This was based on a real-life incident and when it was recreated for the music video, it led to Michael Jackson threatening legal action and MTV briefly banning the video.

So, I decided to go with a different Neil Young video.  Wonderin‘ comes from Young’s 13 studio album, 1983’s Everybody’s Rockin’.  The album was a “rockabilly” album and featured Young performing with a band called The Shocking Pinks, who were put together specifically for the album.

Enjoy!
