Once Upon A Time In Memphis: <br>No. 6 in my series of videos for some of my favorite songs, Once Upon A Time In The West from Dire Straits 1979 album Communique. <br>Communique was Dire Straits follow up to their huge worldwide hit debut album. This album was released in 1979 and I remember listening to it alot during my first year at college. The album was not as critically acclaimed as their first album, but I never really understood why because I thought it was even better.<br>The song Once Upon A TIme In The West is of course an easy fit with Sergio Leones 1968 film of the same name. Every time I hear this song, I have the movie in my mind. Classic both!<br>The video consists of a couple of clips from the film and a few variations on several images and masks. I really like how the music from the film blends with the song, although I only placed two instances of film music, I did experiment with a few others and they worked really well, but time wasnt there.<br>Anyway, one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite movies captured at last as Ive played them in my mind hundreds of times!<br>[Lyrics]<br>Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit<br>Scaring the pedestrians for minute<br>Crossing up progress driving on the grass<br>Leaving just enough room to pass<br>Sunday driver never took a test<br>Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west <br>Yes its no use saying that you dont know nothing<br>Its still gonna get you if you dont do something<br>Sitting on a fence thats a dangerous course<br>Ah, you could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force<br>Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest<br>Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west <br>Mother Mary your children are slaughtered<br>Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughter<br>Whos protecting the innocenti<br>Heap big trouble in the land of plenty<br>Tell me how were gonna do whats best<br>You guess once upon a time in the west <br>Oh yeah once upon a time in the west<br>Oh yeah once upon a time in the west<br>Oh yeah once upon a time in the west <br>Once upon a time in the west<br>My Hotel California video:
