2280. “The Magic Piper Of Love” by Edwyn Collins
Album cover video (the awesome original video isn’t available):
Tragically, this awesome track from the soundtrack to Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery never became the hit it should have become. I tell you, though, Mike Myers picks some great music for his films.
The original video of this song features five different Edwyn Collins performing and slowly meeting unfortunate demises. I can’t find it online, which is just a damn shame. Well, there’s this version, but it’s sped up and screwed up and doesn’t cover the whole song:
This was one of the few tracks I actually picked up from my post-radio, pre-Internet music dark ages.
