A great video two-fer in which the Everlys show themselves to be almost completely devoid of sex appeal, even for 1962 or whatever. I mean sure, I'd do 'em, but I'm easy.
If you like I'll burn you a disc of these two and some other Everlys chestnuts. Wait--the RIAA isn't part of the Beyond, are they...?
What familiar saying with seven words has seven consonants in a row? The answer is a common saying, in ordinary English. Sometimes it's expressed in nine words rather than seven, but it's the same saying. And either way, in one spot it has seven consecutive consonants. What saying is it?
Last week: Name something in seven letters that most people keep in their homes. Take the first, third, fourth and seventh letters and rearrange them. The result will be a four-letter word naming something that the seven-letter thing is commonly used for. What is it?
Highlight for answer: Aspirin, pain
Two weeks ago: The name of what character, familiar to everyone, contains each of the five vowels (A, E, I, O and U) exactly once? The answer consists of two words — eight letters in the first word, four letters in the second.
Highlight for answer: Question mark
Three weeks ago: Name a well-known person from the 20th century who held an important position.

Who is it?

The look may be stilted by today's standards, but it's nostalgic and charming.
Also, without the distraction of quick camera cuts and flashy effects, it's easier to appreciate the beauty and purity of the performance.
Compare to many music videos of recent years: all sizzle, no steak.
