Burt Ward: "Boy Wonder, I Love You" [Audio with montADGE - w/b Frank Zappa] for baikinange
A montage of Robin set to a single called "Boy Wonder I Love You", as written and produced by Frank Zappa, with Burt Ward on lead vocals. Not to worry, he doesn't sing, but says hi to the "kids" and reads a "happy letter, from someone about your age". It's one of the funniest tracks Zappa ever produced.
Popeye the Sailor [Rotograph -Max Fleischer: patent #2054414-1936]
The rotograph, patent #2054414, was invented by animator Max Fleischer in 1936. Essentially an enormous, revolving, circular miniature set built in forced perspective, it enabled a fantastic sense of depth and parallax in cartoons produced by the Fleischer Studio in the 1930's.
The rotograph was used to enhance some of the Fleisher Studio's most popular properties, including Betty Boop and Popeye shorts. This montage comes from two Popeye cartoons, "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor" and "Popeye Meets Ali Baba and his 40 Thieves".

Christiane F.: Today
A little movie which shows us some places in Berlin, were Christiane F. was hanging around. Unfortunately the cityscape had most changed. P.S.: the music was composed for this video by ourselves!
