The Cramps - “Human Fly” (long-lost short film, 1978)
Now it can be told! The unspeakable transformation of man into monster! The wild, depraved, throbbing lives of the “underground people” who wait to drag unwitting victims into their squalid shelter! SEE! The weird, knife-wielding vampire drummer! HEAR! The pulsing “today” sounds of untamed rock ‘n’ roll! FEEL! The clammy touch of those half-living, half-dead! It’s all here in…
HUMAN FLY! Starring Poison Ivy Rorschach, Lux Interior, Bryan Gregory and Nick Knox! See it…before it sees you!

David Bowie, “The Jean Genie”, first aired on Top of the Pops January 4, 1973, then lost for nearly 40 years!
The video itself is extraordinary – 100% live, no miming, drenched in fuzz, and Bowie capping off the glam jam with a quote from John Lennon’s harmonica solo from “Love Me Do (!!!) – but so’s the saga of the video’s rediscovery in 2011.
The BBC had taped over the original recording (as they tended to do in those days), and thought it was gone for good. It featured a unique spherical lens (it starts at about 1:30 in) developed by one of the cameramen that day, John Henshall – who, it turns out, had taped Bowie’s performance for himself, as a demo for anyone who might be interested in hiring the lens (and his services) for their own projects. He had no idea that anybody had been looking for it, because it wasn’t lost to him. He’d never mislaid his copy of it!
This really is Bowie at his absolute glammiest, already moving well past Ziggy into something that didn’t really have a name. I know that the 1972 TOTP performance of “Starman” shook a lot of people up, but it struck me as musically quite conservative. Kind of dull, really, apart from some admittedly outré dress-up and posing.
Not so this, my friend! Even though this version of “The Jean Genie” nods at its roots all the way back in 1963, which already seemed more like a century ago than merely a decade, it’s clearly already a million miles ahead.
And it really is a bit of an extra kick to have the rest of the story here:
