Those forever rockin' guys and gals from Athens, Georgia have spliced in scenes from The Rapiers' 2008 advert for Walkers Crisps. http://rapiers.typepad.com/rapiers_are_ ... s-bus.html

Hi Greg,

if I am not mistaken, the bits that they have spliced belong to the part that was later on banned because allegedly it was an offence to casualties of double- decker buses accidents ...

Cheers,
Ramon.

The parts showing Bobby Vee and some of the girls, were taken from the video clip of "The night has a thousand eyes"
