  1. Another Pilot song from the '70s:

    The song appeared on the soundtrack of 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Herbie: Fully Loaded'. In 2009 it was covered by Selena Gomez and sampled heavily in the track 'Magic' by Flo Rida.

  2. Alex, I'm making a start. As CDoherty said, the last few pictures were made by changing colors and moving a few elements around. Starting something from scratch takes longer, although a side only view is much quicker than multiple views in orthographic projection. I'll put my current project on hold to squeeze this in, but don't expect anything for a couple of days.

  3. Another song from a commercial. This beautiful song is currently being used to advertise DKNY 'Be Delicious' Eau de Toilette. The video of atmospheric shots from NYC during a sudden downpour fits the song perfectly.

    Before anyone asks, I live in Ireland, so it does rain where I am :).

    Yay! - post #2012 on the first day of 2012 - how's that for timing?.

  4. Hoss, I want to see the bike...General Lee. Please...

    If you really want a vector art version, I'll put it on my 'to do' list. Until then, here's some pictures I found that'll hopefully keep you happy in the meantime. There's bicycles, scooters, motorcycles and a couple of oddities at the bottom:

    And for anyone who hasn't seen it, don't forget to check out CDoherty's General Lee bicycle here.

  5. With the dawning of 2012 upon us there was one song that sprang to my mind (well two actually, but

    is three words long, so I couldn't use it in this thread :)). From 37 years ago:

    This song spent three weeks at the #1 spot in the UK charts in, you guessed it, February 1975!.

  6. I've certainly got no problem going with the B-52's.

    Sorry, the video is only a still image with out-of-sync lyrics, but it was the only studio version I could find on YouTube. You can still enjoy the tune :).

  7. And now ... a seasonal song:

    I can't count it among my favorites, but the animated version of Raymond Briggs' 'The Snowman' has been part of Christmas TV schedules over here for the last 30 years.

  8. Unsurprisingly, it's called 'The Dukes of Hazzard' in Britain and Ireland.

    In France it's called 'Shérif Fais Moi Peur', which means something like 'Sheriff, Scare Me' (Google Translate automatically translates it as 'Dukes of Hazzard').

    The theme is the same tune, but with French words (and no Waylon):

     

    Maybe i1976 can back me up on this, but in Italy it appears to be called simply 'Hazzard':

    The theme tune is completely different, but quite catchy. It's called 'La Ballata di Bo e Luke' ('The Ballad of Bo and Luke'):
