No, it's not an official video. But BOC deserves one.
Here's my version.

I'm digging that video! And i'm not even as fond of Olson version 3. I liked how the vids were presented in a stylized way instead of "here's a clip of the '83 family picnic....now here's one of the vacation to Alberta in '78...okay, song's over, that's all you get." much more artistic and professional than the aforementioned method.

Thanks Turquoise70. I felt like only using footage would keep the feeling of BOC, not only because it was old and nostalgic, but because back then shots would go on for long periods of time, which goes with Olson's pace.

Menstruation...get it?

Pretty good video, although I didn't really like the photo's sliding, tho. Some of the samples where a bit to clear...looked like a film from the 90's instead of 60's...

Other than that...great job

Haha, I did not see that coming! Nice catch.

I didn't spend too much time on getting things to look distorted, instead I chose to focus on the presentation of everything. I understand how you feel about the beginning - if I ever do a remake for this song, I'll see if I can get other clips.

wow... that video suits the song really well. even when the kids are cycling it's in a very leisurely manner, and seems to be the perfect tempo for the song. great work man. thanks.

Thanks, Ross. I'm kind of regretting using version 3, because a lot of BOC fans like their other music better.

If you have some extra time, I made another to watch as a sequel to the Olson video.
