Requested by subscriber MikeSmithDazioXYZ the song Catch Us If You Can was a hit for the Dave Clark 5 in the mid 1969's. The song was written by Dave Clark and Lenny Davidson and featured a strained harmonica solo which try as I might, I have not been able to master, so in my video, I have not attempted to play it, just settling for the guitar accompaniment.
The song served as the title song to John Boorman's well-regarded 1965 DC5 vehicle and pop scene film Catch Us If You Can (retitled Having a Wild Weekend in the U.S.). The title phrase was seemingly a take-off on the 1959 crime film Catch Me If You Can and similar phrases, with "me" turned to the group's "us".
