does this character have a name? he was in ibor quite a lot as well (but with longer hair) and I love him, would be fun to know if he had a name...
more boys in makeup! thats whats wrong with the world, we need more boys in makeup that arent afraid to even put on a dress now and again just for the hell of it
I picture this as some sort of...musical song, don't know why.
Also, is it odd that when I see this video, I think of my interpretation of old Roman orgies? The sexless ones, I mean -- the ones that were just dirty and despicable and prehistorically brutish. Ceilings covered with smoke and people gorging themselves on wine and grease, keeping themselves encrusted in filth...
...
Yeah, that might be odd. It's a wonderful song, though.
Wow I never knew he did this song for RWT! Awesome. Also awesome to see Eric and Terence Baylor in it. I heart this song and call me a nut, but I love how Neil looks here. :P
hahah I LOVE this song and the video! very catchy, and I agree with snailfox and almadora that this look suits Neil. I crack up when he almost loses it (you can hear him crack up at 1:31 into the video - must be something Eric is doing).
It must've taken great concentration for the rest of the cast to do everything in slow-motion while Neil was singing live in the studio. The mood and atmosphere of this piece is absolutely spot-on. Imagine any modern day comedy series running a sketch like this. Can't, can you. That's because modern comedy is crap and run / infested by wankers.
Great tune with quite serious lyrics, Neil's writing is great, check out "Lie Down and Be Counted". In some way, with all this decadence, it reminds me of David Bowie.

I love how he cracks up, it's like 'Wow, he's singing live, isn't he?'

This has a distinctly Frankie Goes to Hollywood look. Then again, they're both mining the same genre for their persona.

He sang this last night at BB Kings Bar and Grill in New York City. It was so great to see him in concert. If you get the chance, I say take it!

The more I see of Neil Innes, the more I LOVE him. Funny to see Eric Idle and Terrence Baylor in this one too.

Love Terrence Baylor falling at the beginning! lol
Plus Eric looks rather dashing! You get to notice all this when you stop paying attention to Neil's genius! ;)
