Nilsson performs Jump Into The Fire

This was a scene from a movie called Son Of Dracula, one I doubt any of you have seen; probably because it's a muddled mess of a film. But you got to see Ringo and Nilsson mumble through a bunch of surreal scenes and there was some excellent music, including this song, (and the wonderful ditty, Daylight, with it's happy-go-lucky tune masking a dark theme). And yes, that's Keith Moon on drums. I caught it when it came out. My friends Roger and Margrete took me down to the old Foxchase Cinema for a midnight showing amidst the porno movies that were its usual fare, ("See Misty Beethoven - Our 75th Week!"). The crowd was very edgy; for once I was the most sober person in the room. People were yelling up at the screen in sort of a proto-Rocky Horror fashion. Which was fine. Like I said, the movie was a mess...
Poor Harry, another lost talent. For the record, he recorded the second best version of As Time Goes By. That's pretty impressive in my book.
