Why this vid kicks ass:

It's a delightful potted history of slash, with snippets ranging from the 1960s (Original Star Trek, Man From U.N.C.L.E., I Spy), 1970s (Professionals), 1980s (Next Generation Star Trek, Wiseguy), 1990s (Sentinel, Due South, Highlander, Xena, X Files), all the way to early 2000s (Buffy, West Wing, Oz) and many more I can't quite identify.

The wistful longing of the lyrics gives the clips added humour and nicely emphasises the slashy subtext.

A great song, wonderful clips - I adore this vid.

Did you get Laura's permission to link? - I know she doesn't like to have her site linked externally without it.

I obtained this link from posts in LJ, so it never occurred to me that linking to this page would be an issue. But thanks for the heads-up - I've sent her an email about it, and if she wants it pulled I'll do it or let the mods know.
