Classical Gas - 3000 Years of Art

- CLASSICAL GAS was written in August, 1967; recorded for THE MASON WILLIAMS PHONOGRAPH RECORD album in November, 1967; released as a single in February, 1968, and became a hit six months later in the Summer of 1968. It was also one of the earliest records that used a visual to help promote it on television, which probably qualifies it as one of the earliest music videos.
During the time that CLASSICAL GAS was a hit I was also the head writer for THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR on CBS. I had seen a film titled "GOD IS DOG SPELLED BACKWARDS” at The Encore, an off beat movie house in L.A. The film was a collection of approximately 2500 classical works of art, mostly paintings, that flashed by in three minutes. Each image lasted only two film frames, or twelve images a second! At the end of the film the viewer was pronounced "cultural" since they had just covered "3000 years of art in 3 minutes!"
The film was the work of a UCLA film student named Dan McLaughlin. I contacted Dan and told him that I was interested in the idea of using his film as a visual for CLASSICAL GAS to air on THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR. (His original sound track had been Beethoven's 5th Symphony.) THE COMEDY HOUR offered him the money to finance a new film he wanted to make in exchange for the right to change the original soundtrack from Beethoven's 5th Symphony to CLASSICAL GAS and air it on the show. As a “music video" it was first shown on THE SUMMER BROTHERS SMOTHERS SHOW (Glen Campbell was the host) in the summer of 1968.
The impact of the film on television opened the door to realizations that the viewer's mind could absorb this intense level of visual input. It was a double shot of a hundred proof music and video that polished the history of art off in three minutes! It was also the beginning of the fast images concept now called kinestasis (a rapidly-moving montage technique set to music) that has over the years been exploited so effectively by television commercials, documentaries, etc.
As a result of the response to the CLASSICAL GAS music video, in September of 1968 I wrote up a piece for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, projecting the idea that someday VJ's would be playing hit tapes on TV, (as well as DJ’s hit records on radio), a prophesy of what was, 13 years later, to become MTV. In the summer of 1968, THE SUMMER BROTHERS SMOTHERS SHOW (produced by The SmoBros / Glen Campbell host) aired the film and by popular demand, aired it again a month later. The 3000 Years of Art video / VJ idea was an early example of the potential of the music video and a chance for me to explore the concept.
I saw this when I was 8 yrs old. It literally transformed my life to this very day. I was so inspired that I viwed two things: I would learn to make films like that, and I would learn to play Classical Gas on guitar. Flash forward 25 years, it’s 1992 and I am an artist/filmmaker/musician living in Beverly Hills doing digital effects for TV and movies. An assignment comes into our special effects house - we were doing the opening credits for the Smothers Brothers 25th Anniversary special. By that time I had learned Classical Gas, had seen much of the Artwork in real life, and could have replicated the 3,000 Years of Art film if asked.
Goals. Inspiring the mind of a Little kid - Thank You Smothers Brothers. I traveled the world making art and music because of a short film you played on your TV show.
l remember seeing this on the Smothers Brothers show in 1968 when I was 16 years old. On our old black and white TV set with a 4 inch speaker. Even then it was awe inspiring. 1968 was a bad year for America in so many ways, but this performance was a ray of sunlight - and evidence of humanities potential for greatness. It is truly timeless, and as impressive today as it was all those years ago.
I remember it, too. I was 7 or 8 and in complete awe. Still am.
When CZcams came on the scene, it was the first video I looked for. I think there were two versions of it made by two different people.
I remember it also.
Agreed, there have been many renditions of this, but, this is the real deal. What a unique piece of music!!! Mason williams.....whooey!!
You nailed it, my friend. I was watching right along with you only I was 13. We've seen some stuff.
The exact same thing here, same age, on a B&W 25" Zenith television.
It's amazing how many paintings you can recognize at that speed.
Another boomer reporting in: I was about fifteen, watching on my aunt and uncle's color TV. Everyone in the room, kids and codgers alike, were transfixed. We all knew we had seen and heard something wonderful.
One of my best memories of the 1960's, like Vince Guaraldi's piano on the Peanuts specials.
Made before music videos were even a thing, this is still one of the greatest pieces of video art ever done. I too remember seeing it on the Smothers Brothers show. Then and now, it's a feast for the eyes and moving to the heart.
I was 10 years old the summer this was shown on TV and it's one of those indelible memories from childhood. Three minutes of visuals and music that have stayed with me for 54 years. Mr. Williams, I'm sure you well know by now what an impression your composition has made on so many the world over; just wanted to add my voice. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Williams. One Sunday night in the summer of 1968, a couple of months before I went to Vietnam, I drove up to NYC from Fort Monmouth, NJ with a couple of friends. After a brief cruise through central park with the top down we found our way to an Irish bar somewhere in lower Manhattan. I believe that was the only time I ever saw an any part of an original broadcast of the Summer Brothers Smothers Show. When Classical Gas came on most of the bar went quiet and our eyes were riveted to the TV set over the bar. I often think back on that night and your wonderful composition of music and art, a pleasant reminder of an untroubled youth prior to the life changing experience of war.
Wonderful comment!!❤️
I saw this when it originally ran, and again when it was repeated by public demand. Just absolutely amazing, then and now.
They left out the dogs playing poker.
This changed my views of art and music beyond belief. Still ahead if its time.
Remarkable. Thank you
A-amazing. Both film and tune. I still weep at age 64 each time I hear this song on radio. Thank you.
Thank you Mason Williams for this amazing song.
Thanks so much for posting the version I remembered seeing in '68 (being totally awed, both then and now).
Cultured, indeed.
I saw this then too, likely on The Smothers Brothers CBS show.
Me 3, it made enough of an impression we still remembered seeing on the Smothers Brothers show over 50 yrs later! Wow!
I saw this almost 50 years go. Absolutely stunning.
Our world may seem to be in bad shape, but this short film shows the beautiful direction we have always been heading - monumental and inspiring! - worth watching once a day or more...
Breathtaking!!
My family watched this with our jaws dropped to the floor. Such beautiful music!
The filmmaker Dan McLaughlin was my professor in the animation department (in the late 70s) at UCLA, he was a sweet, kind, funny guy, and an expert in experimental film & animation.
Wow great art and great music and how many paintings you can recognize at that speed it's amazing.
Mr. Williams,
Thank you for helping to create this phenomenal art piece. You and this video changed television. (Also, appreciate your "Bus" and "Sunflower" creations. You continue to inspire.
LOVE THE FLUTE! A BIG SHOUT OUT, FOR HER OR HIM!!!! BUT I BET, IT IS AN AMAZING, WOMAN!!!
would love to see this film rescanned in 4k
It has been done again, but still in 480k - czcams.com/video/kfxD5zFqOZs/video.html
This is one of my all-time favourite songs, and I remembered the video that played on the Smothers Brothers show. It remains with me. Only now, watching it, I got a bit of a headache; back then, I was a mesmerised 12-year old.
I was 13. same reaction
Great music on a wonderful show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Loved watching it. A milestone in TV history. (Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane world debut video, too!)
I was 12 when I saw this, and it changed my life. To this day, when that song is played, it makes me pause. The graphics we're equally as amazing.
Back then, it was so much more experiential, in that there was no internet to see it again. You waited until summer reruns and built your life around it.
I think it was better back then, but I'm just a cranky old guy.
I have never forgotten how this film stunned me when I saw it in the summer of 1968. I watched it and was totally mesmerized. When the Summer Brothers Smothers Show was over, I went into my room (I was 14), and created my first guitar chords melody. Than you for posting this. I have waited nearly 50-years to enjoy it once again. I have remained stunned for half of a century!
Just now realized, as I finished reading your notes, Mr. Williams, what an impact that 1968 broadcast had on me. It triggered my serious interest in film, an interest that led me, eventually, from my native Philadelphia to the University of Southern California film school, for pursuit of a graduate degree. That transcontinental move took place in 1977; and by 1982, a couple of years after the completion of my work at USC, I was embarked on what proved to be a modest but fun career in television writing. Just now, really, in the early East Coast A.M. of September 7, 2016, I realize none of that would have happened if you hadn't brought the work of Mr. McLaughlin together with your music. Gee--maybe other persons or I would have been better off if, in fact, none of that had happened, now that I think about it, but I guess that's irrelevant. Having been born in December 1953, I was fourteen-and-a-half at the time of that Smothers Brothers broadcast. How strange it seems to me that an impression that formed in your mind, in an L.A. movie theater, ended up steering my life, even though you and I have never met.
Glad you enjoyed the re-play of a 50 years ago video (one of the earliest) & especially that it inspired you to become an artist. Classical Gas has inspired a lot of young people to become guitarists, so it's a double whammy!
MW
Mason Williams : I remember when my family first saw it. We were stunned, and our mouths hung open; even we children were touched.
The art is /was beautiful, but your composition transcends all. Yours is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
Thank you for making my life brighter every time I hear it, sir.
A double whammy, indeed. I remember the excitement with which a friend of mine first told me of "Classical Gas," whose title he hadn't yet learned but which he'd heard on the radio. I think he'd been startled when the piece returned to something like its starting form after the middle passage that starts at 1:15, with the fanfare, if that's what it would be called. When the fanfare had come in, he'd thought the record had finished and that something else had started on the radio. Both the record and the film with which you mated it seemed to me emblems of the artistic inventiveness of their period. (The same is true of your album's title: "The Mason Williams Phonograph Record." That was the sort of thing that made my visits to the record departments of my local department stores like visits to Oz in those days.)
Anyway--just now, at another video, where there was discussion of the death, the other day, of Glen Campbell, I posted a link to this. When I came here, to get the video's address, I was delighted to see you'd replied to me. Half a century ago, when your composition, your recording, and the film with which you'd combined them excited me, I wouldn't have guessed there might one day be technology that would allow me to have an exchange with you about them. Thank you for your gracious reply.
I saw it when I was a teen also (14) and went to USC around the same time you were there, so we may have crossed paths. Small world.
Thank you! I saw this when it aired!
Gayle Baker wasn’t it on the Ed Sullivan Show??
@@paulpeczynski5893 I think I remember correctly that it was on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. I was in awe of both the music and the video.
Me too. I was 18. 50+ years later and it still holds up.
As did I and it was indeed on _The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour._ At 12 y/o I was absolutely blown away by this presentation, which itself is a work of art. While you didn't expect something this artsy to be presented on a comedy show, the fact that Mason Williams did the bulk of the writing for their show -- both music and script -- it wasn't a giant leap for them to put this presentation together and blow the minds of their large audience at the time.
Before "3,000 Years of Art," I hadn't yet heard "Classical Gas" on radio, which added to my enthrallment with this piece. _After_ it was aired, almost all I heard on radio was "Classical Gas." And it remains one of the most enduring classical-rock-folk songs on guitar that I've heard in my lifetime. World of respect to Mason Williams, a multi-talented genius and gracious father of this fabulous work of art.
I, too, was deeply intrigued by this remarkable feast for the eyes and ears when I saw its first broadcast on The Smothers Brothers show in 1967. I was 12 at the time and completely captivated by the combination of great art and music, even though at the time I knew very few of the masterpieces included. I already possessed an artistic bent but this influenced my future immeasurably. Thank you, Mr. Williams, for inspiring a young girl to follow her dreams of becoming an artist!

I also saw this when it first aired on the Smothers Brothers and was blown away. Thank you so much for creating this and for posting it on CZcams. I believe that this is what opened up the world of classical art to me and started a life long love. Quite a gift to a 12 year old boy.
@@masonwilliams6042 Please see my comment under Joe Postove above. I have been looking for years with a memory that would make any slice of Swiss Cheese proud.
@@masonwilliams6042 Is there an earlier version in black and white?
@@MrJoeybabe25 No black & white!
I came here tonight after seeing Glen Campbell (RIP) perform this piece on another youtube video. During it I flashed back some 50 years I guess, remembering this very film. I was 13 years old and utterly captivated by it. I became an artist soon after this, got an art degree and ended up working in theater design. This makes my life flash in front of my eyes. I didn't realize how embedded this was in my mind. I can remember the room I was in and who else was in that room when I saw this. Amazing.
Thank you sooo much for this Mr. Williams.
The 3,000 Years of Art had a big impact on the world of art, I've had several people say it inspired them to become artists, so it served a greater purpose than just being entertainment! Thanks for your info about its important impact on you personally! MW
@@masonwilliams6042 I was 3 in 68 and man I never forgot this awesome tune and video.Thank you MW! next time we send a probe to deep space this entire video and your music should be on it.Really makes one proud of the human race.Timeless forever tune youve made.
I've been up to my knees in the Brothers for the past month of course, and consequently up to my knees in you as well. You were everywhere they were it seemed. I don't think you got enough credit for the funny or the moral compass we all received. Thanks again for that special time. It feels like a very unique club I'm proud to be a member of.@@masonwilliams6042
I love this song - and I love this version with the more prominent woodwind and that extra flourish at the end; Is it available on recording anywhere? I'm ploughing through Spotify trying to find it.
I'm British and was born in 1972 so missed out on everybody's shared memories of the Smothers Brothers. I was aware of the song name mostly because my older brother had the sheet music lying around the bedroom while he was learning guitar during the 80s. I did remember it (as I remember lots of music through my childhood) but it really only came back to my attention thanks to the movie 'The Dish' which I saw in 2001 (on VHS tape on a small SCUBA liveaboard waiting for the rough seas to die down before leaving Townsville harbour in Australia!). I bought the soundtrack CD and have loved Classical Gas ever since. Thank you for this fantastic upload - very evocative of the era but still amazing.
Simon, the new version of Classical Gas you refer to is available for digital download on CD Baby. MW
@@masonwilliams6042 Thank you Mr Williams, I shall endeavour to get a hold of it. I don't mean to be cheeky but you don't by any chance have any footage of you playing your plexiglass guitar with the added goldfish do you? Or know where I can find it? Just find it a fascinating thing to imagine, would love to see the reality!!!
@@simoncooper2994 The glass gtr was on an NBC Smothers Bros 1975 Show - any videos of that...don't know.
MW
Mr. Williams, thank you so much for posting this. I remember first hearing "Classical Gas" (at age 11) in early January 1969, when the CBS television show "60 Minutes" used it as the background music for a similarly-done restrospective piece with images from all the events in the tumultuous year of 1968. I haven't been able to find that clip anywhere, so I especially appreciate seeing this example of the technique using your song. Love it!
It's a masterpiece, then and now. Thank you for sharing this. My family just finished watching "1968" on CNN, and in the end felt slightly cheated because they had used your song for weeks as part of their ad campaign, but in the end, did not air your song (or any part of the Smothers Brothers) in a wrap up of 1968. "Classical Gas" was (and is) one of the pivotal songs of that year, just as the "Smothers Brothers" were pivotal in LBJ's decision not to run for re-election (as well as portraying the youth movement and peace movement).
And thank you for your help with my book several years ago...hope all is well with you.
Best wishes,
D. Silverman
I can't believe it's been 50 years since the first time I saw this with my dad. I will always think of him when watching this. We discussed the art after wards to see how much we could recall from memory. I know the cave art was older than the 3000 years and I think it would be grand if they where women. Thanks Mason Williams and Dan McLaughlin. for this.
Yeah, I noticed the cave art, too, which is approx. 12,000 years old. But hey, this is still so good, isn't it?
I saw it when I was 12. Until today, I thought it was on the Pat Paulson Show. It has stuck with me all these years, and the tune is still one of my favorites to this day.
This film may have made me cultured, but Pat Paulson made me aware.
I remember when Classical Gas was playing on AM radio.
"So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.” Hunter S. Thompson
It was March 1968 when I first heard Classical Gas on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.Later that summer I heard it a lot on the radio(and saw this video-or a similar one-on TV).I still have the album.
Thank you, good sir. The music on the Smothers Bros. was something else.
If they had Lascaux cave paintings in there that's a whole hell of a lot more than 3,000 years!
No kidding..! The Lascaux cave paintings in France date from the late Stone Age, 25,000 - 35,000 years ago. There's a variety of cave paintings in the sequence, including a bison from the Altamira Cave in Spain around 2:34 (Pausing the video as needed allows a proper look at the images, making them easier to recognize / identify.)
Diane Sciacca : The cave paintings are my favourites. I will never be an artist, but those people, so long ago, were truly artists.
Gayle: according to recent research, many of them were women :)
Diane Sciacca : I believe they were probably were
I posted to this effect before I saw your post. The Lascaux Cave paintings of aurochs and deer can be conservatively dated to 17,000 years ago. they may be older than that, but yes..."3,000 years of art" is an incorrect title.
Thanks for posting this. It also brought back fond childhood memories (I was 10 when this was first shown). It's also interesting when you set the speed at .25. Even then the images go by quickly! The downside is you can't hear your amazing music. All the best.
Thanks for letting me know about this, I didn't realize it was possible. But it was fascinating to see it in slower motion! The original was 12 images per second.
I first heard *_Classical Gas_* on that *_SBCH_* episode, and the 3,000 years of art playing along with it just blew. me. away. My family, when it was done we all just looked at each other and in unison all that could come out of our mouths was "Wow." After hearing *_Classical Gas_* on the Smothers Brothers show I had to go out and get the record. And I played the living hell out of it. The guitar riffs and chord progression was the best piece of guitar work and composition I'd heard up to that point; of course I was only 12 y/o when *_Classical Gas_* was first released, so didn't have much to compare it to, but I've heard little since then that compares with the sheer brilliance of this tune. The 3,000-years-of-art montage was just the piece de resistance -- the cherry on top.
Missed a few. favorites. I feel like I ran through a museum.
The combination of the music and art sweeping over you has enormous impact. In fact, both seem to be coming at you in waves. Unforgettable. Thank you, Mr. Williams.
Thanks so much for posting this. My mother (a commercial artist) watch together in 1968, and we were both amazed. Saw it just once in the days before video recording and it have been trying to find it for years. True art!
Yeh, I remember sitting on the step into our den looking at (and listening to) it on the Smothers Brothers. I was 6. It's always been my favorite piece of contemporary music--it was like, flower power riding down the expressway. Still is.
Mason Williams, you are a legend!!! Thanks for the upload. I myself have never seen this video and found it to be quite interesting. I was first introduced to Classical Gas through a TV promo whilst living in NYC during the early 90s. That promo was played on the TV station WPIX-11 and it featured Classical Gas. If you, Mr. Mason Williams, or anyone else has that clip and could upload it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks once again!!!
I was 19 the summer of '68 and if there was ever a time of overload surely '68 qualified, this was a good memory, thx
I have been telling people about this video since I saw it for the first and only time. Since I was only six I couldn't remember where or when I saw it but it stuck to my brain like glue. I even have the 45. Now I have proof that I'm not crazy just cultured!
Dear Mr. Williams, I add you to the list of Brian Eno and David Byrne as the most creative people in the past and current century. Congratulations on your talent.
Do you remember seeing this the first time 55 years ago?
I was quickly scrolling through my the pictures on my phone and this came to mind. I saw this when it was orignally aired, I haven't thought of it since, but I glad to find it here just as I remembered it.
Thanks so much for this Mason. Every time I'm in the car for a trip, your "Road Song" and "Godsend" are with me, as well. You have had one hell of an influence on my love of music.
I remember seeing this on the Smothers Brothers at age 11. My sister and I thought it was hysterical- my mother was offended as was the mother of my friend down the street. They both thought it was “disrespectful.”
The title of this film by Dan McLaughlin is “God IS Dog Spelled Backwards”
Who could give a thumbs down to this? I still have clear memories of watching this on Smothers Brothers over 50 years ago.
I know that this aired on the "Murray Roman's TV Show" special, which is on youtube.
I remember seeing this aired in 1968, in the midst of the psychedelic movement. It was indeed groundbreaking, as it was the first time most people had ever seen such super fast cut editing. Nowadays, fast cut editing has become much more commonplace....standard in most action movies and TV commercials....and has arguably contributed to modern human's shorter attention span and inability to concentrate deeply or stay focused on one thing for long periods of time.
30,000 years, with the Cave Paintings of Lascaux
I remember watching this as a young teen and being blown away. How did they do that? I had always been interested in photography and even still photograph musicians and video them. I didn't know that this technique had a name. I am always in awe of guitarists that can play with your level of skill and precision. Fifty years later and I am still awe struck by this piece. Thanks for making it available again.
this is the first music video i ever saw and has always been my favorite
I remember seeing this on TV even though I was only three at the time. Or maybe I saw it in reruns. In any case: Great song. Great art. Great moment in television history.
I remember seeing this on the Smothers Brothers. What a treat to find it again and to read the backstory. Thank you!
is this the famous video we all remember?
No, I am looking for an earlier version, the original, I think it was all black and white. HARD TO FIND!
@@JamesWilson-wh1se Maybe you you think 'the original' was all black and white because you first watched it on a black and white TV...?
I'm suggesting this because Mason Williams himself has explained how this project came together in his background notes below the title. Click on 'SHOW MORE' to read them in full. He makes no mention of there ever being a black and white version of it.
@@TransientVisions I certainly don't trust my memory very far. This would have been a very long time ago. Possibly on the Ed Sullivan Show, very much in the fashion of the "art" video but black and white exclusively and more contemporary subject matter in fast succession. I have sought this version for years. It is likely my favorite because it was my first exposure.
My mind is expanded with the combination of great art and great music. WOW thank you.
Thank you for posting this. It is the best quality version I have found so far.
Love this. And that last statement is icing on an already delicious cake.
It is great that you made this public for all of us. Is there a list anywhere of the pieces of art used?
Josh,
Not one I know. He made the film, I just added my music to it.
MW
Wow!!! Thanks...
The cave paintings are the best!
Outstanding need to watch this on time lapse
I am now cultured. :D
I saw this the first time it was on TV, the editing time must have been amazing. As riffra60 points out. Great video.
This film was also aired during 'Murray Roman's TV Show', which is also on youtube.
FUN FACT…Tommy Smothers watched this video from his home with a very good friend of his…some guy named JOHN LENNON…several months later, The Beatles performed “Revolution” and “Hey Jude” on The David Frost Show…but the band also wanted American exposure..so it was Lennon who suggested the music videos be sent to Tommy for broadcast on TSBCH…and the rest is history
The cave paintings are the most beautiful.
Ok now I have art-pilepsy.
There was art in there that's a lot older than 3,000 years! :) But awesome work anyway. Thank you!
Thank you! AMAZING!!!!!
Ok class, take notes, there will be a surprise quiz at some inconvenient time in the future.....😱

Amazing how much of this is Dutch painters..
Paintings of aurochs and deer from the Lascaux Caves of France appear in the film. The title should thus be "17,000 Years of Art."
Errrr h-h errr h-h-h that kicked ass Beavis errrrrrrrr h-h-h
I bet it took a long time to piece this video together, a long time.
Amazing! I remember seeing this at some point when I was a kid, perhaps in school, but I never knew the history of it. McLaughlin did another film called "Claude" that won an award at the Chicago International Film Festival in 1963. I saw that as a kid as well, and I've recently been trying to find It online. Would you happen to know if that's available anywhere?
Scott,
Lost touch with Dan & was never able to reconnect, so, sorry...no info re: him or his other works! Try UCLA?
MW
No Adobe, Just a Moviola, a razor blade, and a roll of tape.
riffraff60 probably more than one roll
wow! brain blown!
Art is my only religion!
In no particular order, I might add.
Seeing pictures of a bock nekkid Jesus on the cross I feel VERY cultured indeed!
I remember the strobe-like images played to the hit recording, not this...
Much better if it was chronological with fewer paintings. What's the point of following Renoir with
Pollock? Pollock with Rothko and then Warhol, sure.
Apart from some Japanese works, that's a very euro-centric collection. Where's all the African, Indian, Persian, Central Asian, Arab, Turkish, Australian Aboriginal, Native American and all the other art from outside Europe and the places colonised by Europeans? I need to have seen at least some of that to be "cultured".
Saw George Washington twice.
I remember seeing it as a kid. Was this version of Classical Gas recorded with the show's "house" musicians? Did Glen Campbell play on it?
Music was my Warner Bros. hit. No Glen Campbell on this.
MW
The CNN "1968" miniseries brought me here.
I love the cave paintings best. I feel if I could just reach out, someone from 35,000 years ago would also reach out and touch me.
Oh, good grief! Like virtually everything on CZcams, this presentation has been messed with. First off, this is not even the original recording -- it's a later version with a different arrangement (which, among other things, has no sense of musical urgency...it's too dang smooth).
You people.
