I love how she’s animated as this sort of cloud that surrounds and blinds the men to the reality around them

[@fionnnellis2117]

I love how, at 0:54, the bartender shakes his head. It’s as if she’s done this act with many other guys before in the same bar, and he’s just sighing and thinking: “Here we go again…”

[@NuclearCharm]

So that's what happens to CJ after GTA San Andreas

[@red_five3325]

This song: "Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man; so big and so strong." My brain: "Watch out here comes my arrow, it flies super fast... and kills everyone."

“Come a Little Bit Closer” (1964) tells the story of a guy who goes to Mexico and enjoys the company of a young woman whose boyfriend is one bad dude. He manages to escape out the window, lucky to live to tell the tale. This was Jay & The Americans’ (a band formed in the late 1950s) biggest knockout. Kenny Vance explained : “‘Come a Little Bit Closer’ was recorded in the last five minutes of a session where we were trying to record something else […]. In those days, a session ran three hours […]. [The musicians] didn’t want to go overtime, and they had recorded this one song and they needed a flip side, and they said, ‘Okay, boom, let’s do it.’ And we recorded it […]. ‘Come a Little Bit Closer’ was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, and I think that Jerry Lieberman rewrote the last verse and he never got credit for that […].” For Boyce and Hart, this was their first Top 10 hit. They became a very successful songwriting duo, scoring several of The Monkeys’ smashes, such as “Last Train to Clarksville” (1966). 💚🎶💜 May you rest in peace, Sidney Tommy Boyce (1939 - 1994)… 🌹

[@jaysonpida5379]

[@roberthuttle]

What a nice dose of creativity to a perfect song

[@gregghelmberger]

The best thing about this song is what an utter coward the narrator is -- when he hears the voice of a guy who may or may not be Jose, he doesn't even turn to look. He drops his drink, dives through the window, and goes hooting and whooping off into the night like Daffy Duck. The first hint of possible danger and he flees so fast he leaves man-shaped puff of dust where he was standing. It's brilliant and I love it.

[@professorcomics2736]

Bless the artist(s) who produced the animation for this video!

[@ejayeff]

Great song, complimented by a very well done animation. Good job.

[@Sturmwald]

Who animated this? Because goddamn, this is perfect

[@teletubetodd]

Great song. This may have been one of the first rock-'n'-roll records I ever heard when I was a kid, and I was immediately turned on to the Latin sound it epitomized. Since then, I loved hearing that sound again in Neil Diamond's "Cherry Cherry," Richie Valens' "La Bamba," 1910 Fruitgum Co.'s "Simple Simon Says," the Stones' "Get Off of My Cloud," Carole King's "Hard Rock Cafe," the Cuban folksong "Guantanamera," and many more. Thanks for posting this classic!

In a little cafe Just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks That made my mouth water So I started walking her way She belonged to bad man Jose And I knew, yes I knew I should leave When I heard her say, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long" So we started to dance In my arms, she felt so inviting And I just couldn't resist Just one little kiss, so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say "Vamos, Jose's on his way" Then I knew, yes I knew I should run But then I heard her say, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long" Then the music stopped When I looked the cafe was empty Then I heard Jose say "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty" So I dropped my drink from my hand And out through the window I ran And as I rode away I could hear her say to Jose, yeah "Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long

This can't really be considered an "official video" since this song is from 1960, and they didn't have music videos. Nonetheless this is an awesome video

[@johnmclaughlin6106]

This song and Gimme Three Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd are pretty much the same story

[@HS-ig4ly]

this looks very corporate

[@name6560]

Why? Because the internet decided that art style was bad and therefore anything that looks like it must be corporate? What a free-thinker you are. In all seriousness, this animation is clearly supposed to reference Chicano and Mexican folk art, calling it corporate because it vaguely resembles the vector-based art styles companies use is very cringe.

[@mauu7464]

Very cringe of you

To "All Seasons Music": Just wanted to let you folks know that I wrote a short story inspired by this song, and I needed to link to a video, and yours was CLEARLY the best one, so I linked to yours. My story is at www.webfeats.com/BadMan/. Note that it's a personal, not-for-profit project, I just felt like writing a story (as I do from time to time), and I have no plans to publish or promote it. I would have sent this note to you privately, but I couldn't figure out any way to do that. Anyway, thanks so much for your spectacularly good work, it was a real pleasure to watch your video.
