I have not been able to find out what TV show this performance is from or the date of broadcast, but according to the video description provided for the only upload of it I could find, it is from 1967.

My goal was to create an unofficial music video for this single by finding footage of a lip-synced performance of it and replacing the audio track with a high-quality audio track of the single, and this performance was the only lip-synced one I could find.

That was the best-quality upload of this performance that I could find online, and in fact it was the only upload of it I could find. Replacing the audio track involved slowing down the footage slightly, as it was running a bit fast compared to the HQ audio track I am using. The footage begins later than the music begins, so to accompany the very beginning of the track, I have put up on screen a picture of the single as released in Sweden. The source video was slightly out-of-sync, with the picture running a bit late compared to the sound, so I have fixed that. I have also upscaled the resolution from 480p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select and allows for the highest-quality audio, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.

I have not been able to find an official presentation of the lyrics to this song. Presented as a pinned comment below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used the transcripts found on lyrics websites as a guide.

"In The Middle Of Nowhere"

- Dusty Springfield

(Words and Music by Bea Verdi and Buddy Kaye)

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
Will it soon pass me by?
In the middle of nowhere

Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you

Mmm, where did my heart land?
In the middle of nowhere
Where are the dreams I planned?
In the middle of nowhere
Listen to me, baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?

Over and over, you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me?
Leave my heart astray?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever

Where does our love lie?
In the middle of nowhere
How can you let it die?
In the middle of nowhere

Are you gonna leave me
And leave my heart astray?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way

Hey, where does our love lie?
Come on now, where does our love lie?
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Hey, where does out love lie?
