Afraid that music was too early for me and that last song the M-I-C-K-E-Y MOUSE was taken from the movie that starred R.Lee Emery, Mathew Modine, Vincent D'Orfino,Movie: Full Metal Jacket & Directed by Stanley Kubrick & filmed in England with palm trees imported for realism

This one is closer only I picked it halfway thru starts Paint it Black - starts at 17:11

Full Metal Jacket footage appears as Vietnam film for the first 10 plus minutes - what a downer.

The last song was from group that became famous n the 80's - another downer. That mickey mouse was the pits - pure theatrical waste - this movie should be pulled from youtube entirely. This footage should be dedicated to the Fonda LoveClub.
