Snakefinger "The Man In The Dark Sedan"

[lionstanding]

Squane says:The machine threatens all we have gained, so long as it dare become the tyrant of spirit, rather than its servant.

[justinkray]

awesome danceable sample at 2:57, gem inside a gem

[111noir2000]

Snakefinger=Genius.



[shoalhaven10]

I saw Snakefinger at Melb University - a great gig back in the early 80s

[nirb8]

My all time dream is to recreate that dance at 3:25 with a bunch of fat women

[w3l2t1]

Philip Charles Lithman (Snakefinger) had a history of heart problems. He died of a heart attack on 7/1/87. He did not die of drugs or alcohol. Sad that people have make up that stuff.

[w3l2t1]

A man who died way before his time

[wordupassholes]

That bass riff, holy crap

genius

[CalebHarrisComedy]

This and Moisture by the Residents are my favourite songs ever, also Goodbye Piano by R stevie moore gets an honorable mention

[enlightenedDiamond]

I LOVE The Magnetic Fields - but when I tell my wife (Who loves Merritt too) that it's tame in comparison to The Residents it all ends in arguments

[MrFuckinSunshine]

Snake Trap at :50.

[deoarby]

"They" is a "He" by the way. RIP Mr. Lithman...

[sk8nboomer900]

does this remind anyone of FANTASTIC PLANET???

[govermentufo]

he he is dead .. alcohol kill him

[andrenza]

Very cool, pure genius, I love it

[ronaldvanderkleij]

Do they still excist?

[362sf]

best video ever

[drewmura]

HELLO? HELLO? ECHO! ECHO!

[drewmura]

This blew my mind, because I actually AM the man!

[drewmura]

This blew my mind, because I actually AM the man!

[therevepigee]

F'N FANTASTIC

[UltraDuskyJewel]

My brother and used to love this video back in the day. Sibling bonding compliments of Snakefinger :-O

[mikeyheartskateboard]

I love me some Snakefinger

[z260zgmb]

Strange people, strange video, strange man in a silver wet suit with snakes hanging off him. Love it!!!

[MrPlanx]

@z260zgmb - I believe the guy in the wet suit with the snakes is one of the Residents.

[ShoveKnack]

Ahhh, who would have ever though that horse clops go so well with crunchy, insistent guitar playing

[peterg1503]

Always loved this. KBDI, channel 12, FM TV saw it many times.

[twiner3]

@peterg1503 Wow, I remember KBDI and FM TV as well. I thought it was better than MTV by a longshot!

[peterg1503]

@twiner3 Yes FM TV was the best: Started out with KC Elephant Talk, loved that. Remember Classix Nouvoux( I can't spell), 'Guilty".met the singer last month, he does a lot of Christian mission work, really nice guy, we talked for quite a while, found out we are both big Gentle Giant fans

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Perfectly awesome.

[virlennenklein]

Du pur génie ou le génie n'existe pas.

[LaszloPanaflex]

I saw this on MTV once. Just once. In the middle of the night, trippin' my balls off. Laughed myself sore. Then I couldn't find so much as a reference to these guys anywhere. Had I hallucinated the whole thing? Is this, now, just a flashback?

[ebbtides]

@LaszloPanaflex fucking solipsism, how does it work?

[CodyRicheson]

@LaszloPanaflex, are you shitting me? MTV was cool enough to actually play a Snakefinger video? Then again, I've heard of a Residents video or two making it on MTV at one time. I find it funny that Captain Beefheart's "Ice Cream For Crow" was deemed too weird for MTV.

[glitchesandglitter]

this video rocks.

[ergocopulo]

we miss you so much beautiful amazing creature

[MarkandMom]

Great song. 

[kissmybuttdimple]

best video EVER. ....

[uppitynigga]

I could not hear pretty much anything he said. Take your hair? Head?

[Meowth666]

@uppitynigga Just listen to the guitar then. Good enough.

[albojan]

genius

[jonfinswife]

this is pretty god damn cool

[frankblues]

I am sure the residents are in this clip... the 3 guys plus snakey dancer guy ;)

[CapriciousCapricrn]

Where's the viewers? This is GREAT!

[mick2spic]

Wow, this is unbelievable good!

[mradamcooley]

THE BEST

[brainphreak]

it doesnt get much better than this for songwriting in my opinion... fans of the snakefinger should also check out "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum" who are currently amazing.

[stropcooper]

Guitar work at the end of this track is the equal of just about anyhting you will hear. A terrific track, and I think the guy in the mutant space suit with smoke coming out of his butt and doing the bizarre dancing might be my Aunty!!!!

[smrems]

i cant even keep my pants on.

i knew that was coming

[Teabonesteak]

That is some slick riffin right there. Snakefinger 4 life!

[ribs303]

really amazing track with superb video also.

[trsdos]

lol 0:55 "what is that guy doing chasing my sedan?"

[peejay351]

snakefinger is the greatest

[Teabonesteak]

somebody thumb up this comment. I just accidently hit the thumbs down!

[thinmanstrikes]

o man this is great!!!

[Superjew14]

great guitar player.

[jordinyc]

THAT's Snakefinger? Huh. Friggin awesome.

[paralentor]

Fantabulous From Beginning To End !
