Is this another "something jumps out at you" thing? I'm looking for a Tiny Michael Palin when suddenly a GIGANTIC MONSTROUS SEVERED HEAD SCREAMS AT ME?

Well, it does feature some scary male cameltoe on one of those damn Yardbirds.

Man, I need to put in the DVD and look- the faces all get blocky in YouTube quality.

I never knew this, though... very interesting if true.

If you look at it long enough, they ALL look like Michael Palin! But my guess is: 2:52, top right corner

Well, a woman who frequents the messageboards on Palin's official site is trying to get some sort of definitive yea/nay for me. I'm not holding my breath, though.

I think he was the girl in the silver jacket and red-and-yellow jumpsuit.

mr. marx is right, too (except I say "to the left" to mean my left). Light-colored button shirt and corduroy/suede jacket -- a look he has always preferred (google image search to confirm).
