I heard an oldies song on the radio called “I’m Your Puppet.” Has anyone done a video of it using “Smile Time” from “Angel” as the source material? Because it seems perfect. I could see it in my head.

Eeeek.
For what it’s worth, I couldn’t find it on YouTube. Perhaps elsewhere?
You couldn’t have looked all that hard. Here you go:

Jeff, did you mean that you couldn’t find an edited version like PAD suggests?
That’s exactly what I met, Jason.
Geez, PAD. I’m not an idiot. I found the song. I didn’t find it with “Smile Time” footage which is what you asked about.
I should have, however, proof-read that last message before submitting it. It should have (of course) said “what I meant” not “what I met.” D’oh!
Personally, I want to see a version of “The White Stripes,” “Seven Nation Army,” with the lyrics replaced by the words from Emily Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral in my Brain!”
I got the mental image a few weeks ago of a country band, complete with drawl, doing an up-tempo song using the lyrics of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” (complete with three people singing a chorus of “Nevermoooooore”).
I imagine it will soon.
Makes me wonder if the song was the inspiration for the Silver Age story where Abra Kadabra turned the Scarlet Speedster into a puppet?
Hi Peter, I actually had a question for you, and I didn’t know how to send it to you otherwise… and it’s a question you might’ve gotten before, so I’m going to write some butter you up stuff first!
Firstly, I wanted to say that you are a very influential writer to me. I’ve been a Star Trek fan since a very young age, and a lot of your novels are some of the first adult novels I read as a 8 or 9 year old. On top of that, some of my first comics were of Hulk in his Pantheon days. I’ve seen you in Midtown Comics before (I work there), but I never got to thank you for your work and tell you how much it meant to me.
So what’s up with Young Justice? I’m sure you’ve answered this at a con somewhere, and I just found something you posted in 2006 about it, but it doesn’t mention why DC won’t trade it. I was thinking it might have something to do with your exclusivity to Marvel? I don’t quite get why it isn’t traded, it’s asked about at cons frequently. I was 12 or 13 when you started that series, so I was one of those young readers who that book was designed for. I loved that series, and still do, and I’d love to be able to re-read it without digging through boxes of back issues trying to find them all (I have an almost complete run, but something like 10,000 comics to go through!)
Any enlightenment you could provide on that topic would be great, and if not, I hope my expression of appreciation for your work trumps the headache of answering this question again!

Haven’t been able to find anyone who’s done such a video yet. Some of the other videos I ran across were pretty good, though – I particularly liked the Angel video for Tenacious D’s “Wonder Boy”, with Angel as Wonder Boy and Spike as Young Nasty Man.
“I’m your puppet”, by James and Bobby Purify, is a mid 60’s soul classic. I listened to this song a lot when I lived in North Caolina in the mid 80’s. “Beach music” by the Drifters, the Tams, and other soul bands remains verypopular in that part of the country.
