Barnes & Barnes - Fish Heads

[Shinestar246]

oooooooooOOOOooo!the future of fish heads!

[eenik]

this video was blocked for a couple years by youtube for copyright violation and i never bothered to delete it. im a subscriber to arty barnes and he knew the video was potsed on my page and even contacted me to ask if i can mention that the video and song is available on itunes ( which i was more than happy to do cause i love the song ) but then one day it was blocked and i was bummed out.. but, here it mysteriously is for public view once again :) hopefully the views will increase

[SavMacCauley]

Why does this not have 100,000,000 views?

[3242190]

this makes me cry, it is sooooooooooo sad.

[christinesshadows]

Rolly Polly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in

Italian restaurants with Oriental women.

Yeeaahh

hahahaha

[mushergirl]

yea, cuz thats not creepy... hahahahahha

[freedom509rwk]

This really doesn't sound that much like Music Of The Night. The chord progressions are not as complex.

[eenik]

andrew lloyd webber is a great composer,clearly the fish head songs chord progression is nowhere near as complex as Music of the Night.i CAN hear a similarity, but in no way are the songs identical to each other.. both songs however, i feel are equally great each in thier own respect.but i would never post any andrew lloyd webber song on my channel...ever. a little off the subject,but ever noticed that charles schultz would draw actual beethoven tab whenever he drew schroeder playing his piano?

[guleslionrampant]

I remember seeing this in my late teens and totally loving it. MTV played it a lot when they were brand new, like 1981 or 1982, when MTV was good and actually played videos (during the years of the original 5 vee-jays). This brings back some truly wonderful memories - thanks for posting it! BTW, Fish Heads was directed by actor Bill Paxton (he stars in "Big Love" on HBO now) and from what I understand he played a role in Fish Heads too, but I can't tell which one is him...the main guy maybe?

[sp33dstr3am]

bill paxton is the guy with glasses in the beginning.

[tuerescaliente]

tHIS IS THE SON DHHHHHHUIOIGOIIODFBIUO

[eenik]

another question, how much did it cost to record and make this song and video?

[tuerescaliente]

i just saw this on the docu about wild man fischer. I just had to hear the full version. I was -2 years old when these was made

[eenik]

was this video meant to be a short film? or a music video.

[Mumpitz26]

Isn´t it funny that this melody played in a much slower tempo equals the music of the night by Andrew Loyd Webber??

[eenik]

really now.. make a comparison video and post it, that might be interesting to hear.

[BoxOfFrogbit]

You mean the verse? It sound a bit like "Music of the Night", yes... Scary.

[eenik]

i can hear what your talking about.. interesting.

[empertyhead]

saw this on the old grey whistle test years back and it freaked me out.still f*@*king brilliant.

[pinkflower2112]

I was once told that ANYTHING taste good if it's cooked right. Well, I'm not sure about fish heads....but it sure made a sweeeet video! Thanks for the giggles :)

[dustien09]

This is so funny. Were these guys on some heavy duty drugs when the song was written? Have not seen this in years.

[artiebarnes]

No drugs were used in the making of this song. (I co-wrote it).

[drummercanyon]

U DID COOL!

[hagener]

you are a proud for this generation. anyway, i can´t deny it scares me.

[durantr]

So I'm sitting here and the chorus came to me and I decided to look it up and by golly, there it was! I used to look forward to seeing this silly video when MTV was all about music videos instead of the train wreck it is now, thnx for posting it.

[death12282]

i danced with this song ..

[2011kgt]

"Ask a fish head anything you want to. They won't answer; they can't talk."

Hilarious!

[TheGubin]

some trivia: the building in the very beginning (after the title "Fish Heads" is the same building in the movie "Xanadu." I think it burned down in the late 80s.

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

All I can say is Fish Heads!

[ExperimentalFilmCrew]

[farleydbear]

Bill Paxton Rocks

[hackchat4u]

When this video first came out, my friend and I were watching videos one afternoon, right before we were going to the mall, and we saw this video and thought, "WTF?" We were laughing so hard, and that song couldn't get out of our heads. Needless to say, we annoyed EVERYBODY at the mall that night with the song "Fish Heads."

Thanks for posting!!

[Kibaku666]

Isn't This Frank Zappa?

[eveningcoconut76]

Nope- Barnes and Barnes is correct.

[guaparella]

One of them is the kid from Lost In Space.

[PhoenixBorealis]

I used to listen to this song long befor I could realize the fact that they were singing about dismembered fish craniums. lol. Now the song is just creepy.

[shingi085]

It gets weirder, one of them is Bill Mumy, who was the kid Will Robinson in the original Lost in Space, and also acted in Babylon 5 and Star Trek: Deep Space 9. And yet, he still looks pretty young...

[davidls11]

You left out Billy Mumy's Twilight Zone appearances, including the classic episode "It's a Good Life".

[eenik]

A friendly reminder, the 80's musical cult classic masterpiece "Fish Heads" is available for purchase at itunes!

[OneofthoseClaymates]

Wow. I never knew this was a real song. I just thought the kids singing it in the cafeteria had made it up. lol

[tuhraycee]

I love you Fish Heads!!!

[cabbage521]

"ask a fish head anything you want to,

they won't answer, they can't talk! 8D"

[jlaramie666]

I remember hearing this when I was little and I was never sure if it part of a strange dream or if it was a real song......

[silverado2004]

Just in case you did not know that is the actor Bill Paxton walking at the beginning and from the TV episode of Lost in Space Billy Mumy in the video.Billy Mumy sings the first 2 verses of the song.

[akimonsta]

WHOOO! GO FISH HEADS!

[Draynaz]

[spacemonkeyking]

Yup, it's from the 80s.

[razorsmak]

[iluvjensen]

This reminds me or eraserhead

[BRYAN351]

I first saw this on Mtv in '82 or '83. It's so strange you can't help but like it a little. But, I wonder how many fucking weirdos have carried around, eaten, or fucked fish heads because of this video. You can bet there are some out there. lol

[hazy13]

wow uh huh

[1134reaper]

me and my friend yesturday smoked a fat stogey watched this it was so fuckin trippy

[MusicMyBeloved]

... kinda a long beginning but Great otherwise

[Larcurmo]

You know, I thought it was just me smoking crack when I was younger about me remembering this video/song, since no one else knew what the f@#k I was talking about.

Apparently, I wasn't alone...

[eenik]

thats exactly what I went through..

[Jiltedin2007]

I loved Dr. Demento.

[RabbitWing123]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[pebbles10mal]

this video is a little fishy, but awesome!!

[1MarylynnMonroe]

This is the sweetest video ever.

I haven't seen it in about 25 years.

That guy is hot.

So new wave-Devo-ish.

[racon2r]

Ah, Fish Heads. Takes me back to Dr. Demento. Gimme this and "Dead Puppies" and I'm good to go.

[stupitlovey]

its a little disturbing...........uhg.

[DDRaHolic]

Thanks for the great memories of listening to Dr. D's show.

[EricNB40]

Thanks for posting this one. I'd been thinking about it so I hit youtube and lo and behold..here it 'tis. I believe Bill Paxton was in this video.

[lossfound]

I've loved this song and video all my life. Forgot about that until just now. Now I want to go as a garbage-bag fish head for Halloween.

If this came out today, it would be the next Chocolate Rain, except that this doesn't suck.

[THEHITMANPROJECT]

THIS SONG SAVED MY LIFE. LOL!

[gee776]

my favourite lyric ever 'ask a fish head anything you want to, they wont answer, they can't talk' i cried with laughter and fear when i saw this video for the first time

[Jaketoshiba]

Whoever made this must of been either stoned or insane!

Pretty good video AND song, though! :)

[seph1r0th400]

??? that was distubing

[skrag2112]

Did David Lynch direct this?

[FricksBabyGirl]

Lmao, we use this to get our school excited and all when we play South Lafourche Tarpons. Every year we have this play before the morning news we do. And since this year we're playing them for homecoming it's even worse.

[bwaremypower]

what the fuck............seriously.....­.what the flying fuck. i'm going to have fucking nightmares.

[MichaelJDowney2]

I used to listen to Dr. Dimento on KLOS in LA on Sunday nights and this song was one of the regulars. Never saw the video in those days. Fuckin insane. This is great. Especially like the last verse...drinking cappucino with oriental women...

[sheristillrockn]

[AquaHarmony]

Someone had FAR too much time on their hands.

[crazymanjimbo46]
