"The Dr Kuryakin or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Illya Affair" is a Man from U.N.C.L.E. vid by dreamybluemeany. It was uploaded to the vidder's YouTube page on November 30, 2008.

Vidder's Notes:

Watch Illya and Solo run through a songful of obscure, now largely obsolete, pop-culture references. Yay!

I thought, all things considered, that I'd try for a happy, fun, upbeat video; one with lots of sunshine and sixties swing.

One key part of MFU is escapism and this video is about that. Another key part is, of course, the boys looking fab... which this video also adresses.... ( not strictly slash, although, by all means, assume away... :-) )

The song is ( rather helpfully,) ' Illya Kuryakin looked at Me' by The Jennifers.

P.S: The title, " The Dr Kuraykin or how I learned to stop worrying and love Illya Affair" I borrowed, with a slight change, from a fanfic I read by Victoria M.

Reactions/Reviews

This vid was recommended by Georgiesmith on Crack Van on March 27, 2009:

I am a fan of the tight, fast editing that is the hallmark of dreamybluemeany's videos. She manages to include so much in a video for a song that is less than 2 minutes long and includes clips from all four seasons of the show. Between the happy, kitschy pop song covered brilliantly by The Jennifers and the choice clips from the series, this video never fails to bring a goofy smile to my face. Come on, could there be a more perfect song for a Man From UNCLE video?
