Hearing it is bad enough, I can't bring myself to watch it.

PLEASE Alex. It's funny. You like funny, don't you?

And Billy Bob Thornton is in it. It's maybe the best work he's done, even better than Sling Blade.

Almost every line has a handy visual signifier, just in case you don't get it.

So with "let your face go wrong" lyric there is a big stretchy face and so on...

and there's an EGGMAN...

oops "face grow long", I mean

― adam... (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 00:25 (twenty years ago)

And Billy Bob Thornton is in it.

Now I have to watch it.

Alex, I hereby apologize to you for giving you a hard time about posting something about this during the 17-day interregnum to one of the "hidden threads," when, as it turns out, every damn thing we posted during that time is now hidden forever.

Darkness T-shirt!

Seriously, I'm kind of glad they've gone 'guitar' again.

(I don't really know what to say about the visuals. The dude with egg idea was probably not the wisest.)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:12 (twenty years ago)

OK, now that this is haunting my head I don't know if I'm glad about anything anymore.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:17 (twenty years ago)

I wish all videos were just montages of images from the lyrics.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:24 (twenty years ago)

I can't speak for Alex of course, but I'm glad to hear you say that Ken, I did think you were a bit harsh.

― Bimble..., Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:35 (twenty years ago)

At least they seemed to be having fun with it, not taking the visuals too seriously or anything. It looked like they were sort of poking fun at themselves and the psychedelic thing. I thought it was kind of amusing for a throwaway cover song.

I didn't get the eiffel tower bit before, but now that Styx have shown me a picture of the eiffel tower, it suddenly makes sense. Also, the eggs and penguins. Thanks Tommy Shaw and new weird singer guy!

Excellent over-literal Sitting on a cornflake/dead dog's eye moments

― Chris Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 12:56 (twenty years ago)

It's likeian idiot-savant's brilliant cross between An Andalusian Dog and The Thamesmen's video for "Listen To The Flower People."

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 13:02 (twenty years ago)
