Music Video Of The Day: Keep Your Hands To Yourself by The Georgia Satellites (1986, directed by Bill Fishman)


From the director of the video for the Ramones’s I Wanna Be Sedated comes a down home, country wedding.  In this video, the groom is lead singer Dan Baird, who goes to his wedding on a flatbed truck and marries his bride while her father points a shotgun at his back.  The video doesn’t make it clear whether Baird was expecting to get married when he and the band first rode up in that truck but at least everyone appears to be having a good time.

This immortal work of Southern rock was the George Satellites’s only hit.  The band still exists, though only one founding member remains, guitarist Rick Richards.  Dan Baird, who left the band in 1990 to pursue a solo career, currently tours with Homemade Sin, a band that features two former members of the Georgia Satellites.

Enjoy!
