An art history class in two and a half minutes in 1965's "Dog is God Spelled Backwords"

The piece, also known as "3000 Years of Art" and just "Classical Gas Video," was created by UCLA film student Dan McLaughlin in 1963, but it wasn't until 1968, when "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" writer Mason Williams saw the film and added a new soundtrack, titled "Classical Gas," which ended up becoming a chart-topping instrumental hit. It's honestly just as neat as it was 46 years ago.
