Success!!!
The upload to YouTube finally worked!!!
So here's the backstory.
While doing our usual hunting and gathering for books and things to resell, I picked up a videotape called HBTV Country Rock. This turned out to be music videos, a la MTV, where they took clips from Hanna-Barbera animations (Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, the Jetsons and many of their less famous ones as well), and made vids to go with songs like "Queen of Hearts" (Juice Newton), "Lookin' Out My Back Door" & "Bad Moon Rising" (Creedence Clearwater Revival), "Daydream" (Lovin' Spoonful), "Rambling Man" (Allman Brothers Band) and several more. Actually, a couple of those are trippy enough to be quite entertaining!
But there was one I thought was actually really good. The song is "Crazy Love" by Poco, but I can't find ANYTHING on where they might have gotten the animation. It's strongly in the pop art style of Peter Max or the Yellow Submarine stuff of the 60s, and I think the storyline must be like a folk or fairy tale, with a young man going off to sea (?) to seek his fortune, who leaves his true love behind but takes the magical (?) red rose she gives him along and uses it to...do something.
Anyway, this is the clip:
I tried Googling for the answer, and although I found out a lot I didn't know about Hanna-Barbera's connection to the music business back in the day, my question went unanswered. I even bought a fairly pricey reference book on HB's history, but nada. So if you can pass this post around to people who might know, I'd sure appreciate it.
Oh, and if you want to own a copy of the whole strangely compelling video, there are several for sale on Amazon for only a few bucks (not mine):
