1. Evidently, even the camera was cold!

2. Yeah, and the video is probably 50 years old

Also, I couldn't find any other videos that actually showed the band playing this song, (even though it was lip-synched)

I saw them at the Fillmore Auditorium a few times ..They were a very good band, usually 3rd on the bill.

(Thanks for the rec)

3. You're welcome. Did they have any other earworms? 🤔

4. I don't think so, not in the sense of "3 or 4 bars that go round & round & round"

That was the only Sopwith Camel song with an "earworm."

They did have other great songs, including "Postcard From Jamaica," Little Orphan Annie" and, my favorite, "Saga of the Low Down Let Down"

Also, they were the first San Francisco band to have a Top 40 hit. (Hello Hello)
