Three videos for November 16, 2014

Here are three random videos I came across this week. They're not at all connected and have their own significance, and no relationship between them is implied.

Fist we have an IBM commercial, of all things, directed by Jim Henson, of all people, with music by Raymond Scott (well, he at least is partly known for liking to use machines to generate ideas).

Next, a fine example of machines working and people thinking in this clever and inventive music video from Shugo Tokumaru.

And finally, for perhaps my own personal nostalgia reasons, it's Hall and Oates on German TV in the late seventies playing in a bit more musically flashy, perhaps Steely Dan-esque style than their more familliar later successful style.
