You know when you're first falling in love, and it feels like you're being kidnapped by redcoats during a musket battle?

Fleetwood Mac's song "Everywhere" sort of perfectly captures that feeling (minus the freakish underarm sweat and stress-induced anorexia). But the music video for it perfectly captures ... um ... Colonial Williamsburg?

It's somewhat inexplicably based on the Alfred Noyes poem "The Highwayman," which tells the tale of an olde-timey thief in love with an innkeeper's daughter. It kind of looks like it was shot using a Vaseline-smeared Motorola Razr, and the wigs are worse than the ones they use in a "Lost" flashback. It is, as Stevie Nicks would say, a "great ol' song" and a delightful reminder of how straight-up weird music videos used to be. Enjoy!
