New original tune in a Doo Wop style

In the spirit of Doo Wop this is an acapella song with silly lyrics. I used several microphones to avoid frequency but I still had to do some notch filtering for clarity. I think it worked.
At times there are 12 tracks of vocals being sung.
Public domain footage from a soundie titled Bare Cat Mountain.

Wrote a song in the spirit of Doo Wop called Lefty Lucy

An acapella tune with finger snaps. At times there are 13 vocal tracks playing.
I used several different microphones to avoid frequency build up but I still had to do some frequency notching to give the parts clarity. I think it helped.
Used some silly public domain footage called Bare Cate Mountain for the video.

Cheesy video.

Stop the Dreams. The latest original. A sixty-ish feel with a lot of vocal tracks.

The video was created from cuts from an old and very weird public domain pharma industry propaganda film called The Relaxed Wife.

I spend much more time on the song than the video and it shows.

I'm not sure that the song is any good but I'm happy with the mix.

A tribute to Ennio Morricone and Pecos Hank, A Spaghetti Western theme.

The two just seemed to go together. What do you think?
