From Top of the Pops in 1974 -- it's a video clip of:
Mott the Hoople's The Golden Age of Rock n Roll.
I'd forgotten that Ian Hunter was doing Cousin It from The Addams Family some years before Joey Ramone.

That "Hoople" elpee is just jammed with great, overlooked songs. I esp. like "Roll Away the Stone" (the original version with the fucked up female spoken vocal part). And, of course, "Marionette."
BTW, isn't that horn section straight out of Wizzard? Too cool for school, man!
Oh there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the music of the young....
What a rush, Steve. Whizz kids all 'round. Thanks.
