Vidder: Mary Van Deusen
Musical artist: America
Song: Sister Golden Hair
Pairing: gen, although you could interpret certain moments as Napoleon/Illya if you wanted to (I know, I know, cop out answer)
Vidder sites: Her MFU Vids Page

Why this vid kicks ass:

It made me ridiculously happy when Mary came out with a string of her high quality, beautifully edited MFU videos a couple of months ago - seriously, I downloaded all of them and still watch them when my mood could use a pick me up. There's more than a touch of humor in a number of them (I almost picked her hilarious "So Long, Mom," which pulls off the miraculous feat of redeeming the Super Colossal Affair as a comic gem), but the thoughtful choice of song lyrics and the 60's folk vibe makes "Sister Golden Hair" one of my favorites of hers.

I went over to the site and downloaded the smaller versions of everything (except Looking for Love where it said the server had run out of download capacity for the vid). They were all very clean and high quality. Boy what a difference clipping from first rate DVDs makes! She used some of my favorite artists, like Van Morrison and Paul Simon, but I didn't find a lemon in the bunch.

Thanks for recommending them. I'm not into the fandom, but I have very fond memories of watching the show and these are a great reminder of how many good episodes there were. I understand your frustration -- it's hard to pick a favorite!

I'm so glad that you loved these vids, too! It's a pleasure to see someone rediscover the show. I have to admit that my own musical tastes are instrumental in nature, so it was a lot of fun discovering new music or seeing the few artists I am familiar with and like being used for fannish purposes. And the quality of the clips from the DVDs has led to some great new vids by a number of people.
