Winner of the first video Grammy Award, Michael Nesmith (The Monkees) wrote and starred in Elephant Parts, a collection of comedy and music videos. Elephant Parts is one hour long and features five full length music videos, including the popular songs "Rio", and "Cruisin'", which featured wrestler Steve Strong and Monterey-based comic "Chicago" Steve Barkley. An off-beat collection that is very entertaining to view while in an altered state.

Reviews

Eric Seaberg I saw a clip of this before it was officially released at the Audio Engineering Society Convention in Anaheim, May 1981. It was amazing to see on a large projection screen and hear it in stereo, especially since it wasn't a film, but specifically produced for TV! I bought one of the first Beta-HiFi tapes when it was finally released in stereo and wore it out. My kids grew up singing along with "Sunset Sam" and others, including memorizing the "Pirate Alphabet". We have so many great memories of this, and am so glad I was part of NARAS when they honored Mr. Nesmith with his award as the first music video!!If you can find it... buy it!!

abbey_rhode the first person who commented on this apparently doesn't have much of a sense of humor. This is a collection of hilarious off beat comedy skits (it's not a "movie") and if you have any sense of humor at all you will find something funny in this. and another thing, how could Hulk Hogan make it work? And bring integrity? All he does is walk around in a speedo, he didnt write the skit, he's just acting. thank you.

callie-5 Michael Nesmith was ahead of his time.Beginning with Rodan, all the way through the final song, Elephant Parts is comprised of "Nez" and his friends stealing shots where they have to and having fun all along the way. There are too many good comedic shorts to list, but if you have an hour to spare, go rent this and give it a watch. Good music - Great laughs!And no, that is NOT Terry "Hulk" Hogan. The actor's name is Steve Strong.

DWebster-2 Comprises many segments which include comedy sketches andmusical videos. The comedy sketches include a variety ofsubjects that mirror real life, while the musical portions arevery well done. Although this is an older video, it is more orless timeless in its ability to entertain.
