Are you MAN enough to defend your love against... 100 GUITARS!?
I didn't have a lot of information about this video when I posted it, but thanks to a PCL visitor who did some great research, now we know...
"de la TV Romande" indicates that it's French-Swiss (i.e., from the French-speaking part of Switzerland). In this case it came from SSR/TSR (Télévision Suisse Romande). It's an excerpt from "Happy End", which won the main prize at the 1964 Rose d'Or Swiss TV festival/awards. (See WIKI LINK).
Apparently the Stones and Petula Clark played live at the awards that year. The whole thing looks pretty demented, in all the right ways."
The song is "Every Night (Without You)" from 1962 by Paul Anka.

Thanks! I'm going to update the post with your information! I found the YouTube post of this song a year or so ago and loved it. When I checked it out again this week, I saw it was "AS SEEN ON..." some other blog that used it as nothing more than a video to accompany a personal message. The blog apologized that the music was "terrible". Sorry old blogger, this music is TERRIFIC! And now it's "AS Seen On PCL". I feel I did the song a service by sharing it with the cool people who visit PCL. Thanks again for the research.
