I'm starting a niche music-themed collection called "Musicians who simply CANNOT take it seriously when they have to go through the motions and pretend they're performing their song on live TV"
So far I've only got two items in the collection, but they both bring me so much joy hahaha
The Box Tops doing "The Letter" in 1967 (love how the singer starts out serious but then his bandmates start subtly goofing around in the background and he notices and can barely restrain his giggles):
2. Adriano Celentano doing "Azzurro" in 1968, looking INTENSELY bored by the lip-syncing (but he's so fine, we'll forgive him):
i like axls teased glamrock hair the most, but this is my second favorite omg he looks so beautiful with the center part and the almost curtain bangs
i love this era sm
