Subject: Rolling Stones, "Paint It Black" music video
Written By: gargantuas on 06/27/07 at 8:23 am
I remember about 1982 or so, seeing a video by the Rolling Stones, "Paint It Black." In the video, a large creepy looking man is befriended by a little girl, maybe 7 or 8, at a carnival where he is working at the roller coaster. They go around and have fun at the carnival and even ride the coaster themselves. The carnival closes and the two hug and she disappears into the night.
I can find hide nor hair of it. I've seen a few hundred concert versions and fan made videos but not this original. Does this ring a bell?

Was it on Mtv or a video music program? I know Solid Gold used to make their own videos for a song once in awhile too (though usually only stuff on the pop charts at the time). Chances are that it's not an official video, but something a video music program put together.

"Paint It, Black" is one of my favorite RS songs. I'm glad I missed that thing.

This wasa an awesome video. It did exist. Someone knows about it. The truth is out there.

Trivia:
The Rolling Stones allow their songs to be in movies but do not allow their songs to be on soundtrack albums.
So, for instance, "Ruby Tuesday" was featured in "The Royal Tennenbaums," but does not appear on the soundtrack, which is unfortunate because it would have made a good soundtrack album great!

Yep, I remember this video. It was actually a little boy who shared the roller coaster ride with the fat freak in the blue jumpsuit, though, and he went home with his parents at the end. This video has aired on VH1 Classic a number of times, I believe, and aired on MTV in the early 80's as well.
