My son’s latest music video of my version of “Indiana Wants Me”
While driving home with family from an out of town day, an "Oldies" station broadcast this song by R. Dean Taylor. It was the first time I had heard it in decades, and it triggered a specific memory of riding with my mom, dad, sister and brother in our Chevy Caprice - in Aurora, Indiana (of all places) - when this song came on the radio.
My dad heard the siren at the beginning and kept looking for a police car, until my sister told him that the siren was part of the song. It was such a specific memory, and it made me smile. I've always had a fondness for this song since (even though it has a definite cheeze factor), and decided to sing my version after our return home.
Our son made this video (as he has every video posted) using my soundtrack and all original video and images he created. (You can click on the channel to see his other music videos using my songs.) For this project, I asked him to "tell a story" with the song. The special visual and sound effects, titles, editing, transitions, etc., are his own work.
Thanks for watching.

Another fun video, Jim, kudos to your son! I hope he keeps it up.
Great story too, I love hearing people cover songs that they have a personal connection to. Did you record the music too? Or is this a backing-track you found?

Thanks, Ben! Appreciate the kind comments and encouragement. Will pass this on to my son.
The instrumental part is a karaoke backing track.

By the way, there is a tribute to 1966 Batman in this video. The “police officer” with the megaphone (and the left officer pistol) is my son’s FTC Chief O’Hara.
