Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins
Wait! Before you watch, have you seen the film that this gives a very thankful nod to? A Trip to the Moon by Georges Melies, from 1902 was one of the first films to feature a plot, and it was most certainly Steampunk! So once you’ve seen that - this music video by the Smashing Pumpkins will seem even more charming, I think.
I’ve heard the music before - and I find it fairly agreeable, and indeed I think I’ve even seen clips from the video before - but many thanks go to Jesse Neninger for being so kind as to think of Brass Goggles and send the link in, as there’s no way I would have remembered it otherwise. It’s delightfully Steampunk - the costumes and set design are superb and if you look very closely at the steamship at the end, you may recognise the name - the father of Steampunk film.
