I’ve always liked this one: > **[When We Was Fab - George Harrison](https://www.georgeharrison.com/videos/when-we-was-fab-3/)** ---

Didn’t music videos as a narrative art form die well before George did? The only thing that could save this mess would be a cameo by a couple of old-timey race car drivers with spanners. ---

Spanner comment reminded me of the _literal_ a-ha video: “I’m gonna kick some ass with my own pipe wrench…” ---

I’m more a fan of something like this: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nFxYsWCT6_k/maxresdefault.jpg "George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity (Take 27)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFxYsWCT6_k) ---

That video is really visually interesting, though. “When We Was Fab” is cute. “My Sweet Lord” felt like an idea that kinda fell apart under the direction of someone who hadn’t thought it out all the way.
