Great combination of Don McClean's "American Pie" and Florence and the Machine's "Dog days are over."

American days are over.

This latest video is a celebration of 1950s Americana - naively optimistic days that are now far behind us. The multitude of video sources include some 1950s commercials, a short piece of fashion, a Chevrolet variety show, the 1957 promo film "In the Suburbs" and not forgetting an appearance by the iconic Betty Page. The majority of these clips are available for download from archive.org.
