   No date on the song itself.   
      
   The video is letterbox, which typically signifies HD video   
   (at least 720) but it looks like it's SD... PAL.   
      
   Actually, kind of looks like 16mm or even 8mm film! But   
   let's call it PAL.   
      
   That's 25 fps, but more lines.   
      
   Tradition movie film was 24 fps so a lot of "early   
   adapters" to the world of video would go after PAL, as   
   it more closely approximated film than the NTSC of   
   North America.   
      
   Interesting note:  A! LOT! of hardware, cameras, would   
   have been capable of both. Think about it:  Why build   
   two entirely unique cameras when you can build one, and   
   then the firmware can set it to one or the other.   
      
   Later, when DSLRs started to take over, Europe was   
   charging higher taxes (tariffs) on film cameras than   
   still cameras. So the manufacturers would set their   
   European DSLRs to only record no more than 30 seconds   
   of video at a time, as that was the divide between   
   movie and still cameras. So if you could jailbreak your   
   camera, you could buy a DSLR without the movie camera   
   higher tariff, jailbreak it & let it film videos!   
      
   Yeah, Europe was invented as a trade war. It really was.   
   The E.U. grew out of the "Common Market" which was to   
   create a single economic market to rival the U.S.,   
   Russia and later China...
