I remember about 1982 or so, seeing a video by the Rolling Stones, "Paint It Black."  In the video, a large creepy looking man is befriended by a little girl,  maybe 7 or 8, at a carnival where he is working at the roller coaster.  They go around and have fun at the carnival and even ride the coaster themselves.  The carnival closes and the two hug and she disappears into the night.

I can find hide nor hair of it.  I've seen a few hundred concert versions and fan made videos but not this original.  Does this ring a bell?

Have you tried YouTube?

Was it on Mtv or a video music program?  I know Solid Gold used to make their own videos for a song once in awhile too (though usually only stuff on the pop charts at the time).  Chances are that it's not an official video, but something a video music program put together.

Yes, I tried YouTube, no (tumblin') dice.

I remember it was on MTV.

"Paint It, Black" is one of my favorite RS songs.  I'm glad I missed that thing.
::)

This wasa an awesome video.  It did exist.  Someone knows about it.  The truth is out there.

Trivia:

The Rolling Stones allow their songs to be in movies but do not allow their songs to be on soundtrack albums.

So, for instance, "Ruby Tuesday" was featured in "The Royal Tennenbaums," but does not appear on the soundtrack, which is unfortunate because it would have made a good soundtrack album great!

Yep, I remember this video.  It was actually a little boy who shared the roller coaster ride with the fat freak in the blue jumpsuit, though, and he went home with his parents at the end.  This video has aired on VH1 Classic a number of times, I believe, and aired on MTV in the early 80's as well.

Viola!

I noticed that too. on the movie "The Departed" the song Gimme Shelter is not on the soundtrack, but lesser known song Let It Loose is. what's up wit that  ???

also, the song Baby Blue - Badfinger is in the movie, but did not make the soundtrack & I found that very disconcerting  :-\\

May, just may, have something to do with the ownership of those early classics, which I think are still the property of ABKCO (a company who only see fit to release on their terms! So if ABKCO had full control of the soundtrack, it'd probably be on there!)

(Also applies to several Sam Cooke songs and the entire Cameo-Parkway archive...)

This song is controlled by the Beatles' Apple empire...and they're just as bad as ABKCO!

The song "Cant you hear me knocking" appeared on the "Blow" soundtrack which would suggest that they do in fact allow their songs to be on soundtrack albums!
