The Holidays - Octopus of Love

[calkmeand1]

Holy Shit I used to have this with my Packard Bell too lol

[SplatterdaySaints]

LMAO I was curious if this song was still around not my cup of tea really lol it came on a packard bell media browser disc lol

[SplatterdaySaints]

@SplatterdaySaints I cant beleive you got it to look this good in 240p i cant remember if i was able to get it to go full screen that was too long ago

[jmilber]

Hahah soooo funny. What a funny memory this brings me back.

Now the real question is--- anyone have the OTHER things on this demo disc? Anyone see the video with the douche bag looking guy playing a instrument in a room, kids banging on the drums, and him singing "Childreen of the mornninng!"--- I'd do anything to find that old classic too. It wasn't Holidays it was another band showcased on the demo cd

[SplatterdaySaints]

@jmilber i still have this disc its black and silver and was for my packard bell navigator  is there a way to get it to work on windows 7?

[dewzuki]

The entire video is now posted - search and enjoy!

[jordinyc]

@dewzuki Yeah, i tried that, ended up here. V= code next time please.

[PaisleyGiraffe]

HOLY COW!!! I used to have this on my childhood computer! Maybe we had the same one. I was actually just thinking about this little clip not to long ago and *poof!* Found this one by accident! ^_^

But this totally made my day. Thanks so much for posting!

[zoeysboy]

I love how there are so many people like me who have been looking for this damn song ever since the birth of the internet (ya know, after bulletin boards). Even though i'd be incredibly crestfallen arriving at the lyrics "shiny skin", i knew I could always just press play again to relive the magic of video on my computer. good times people.

[Lackwit204]

Holy cow! Does this ever take me back! That stupid multimedia CD was like the coolest thing in the world when I was a kid. I didn't remember this song/video being quite so spectacularly bad 15-odd years ago. Awesome!

[rynoskiflyer]

Yes - I am a MUSIC GOD among men. I once upon a time too had a packard hell w/ that video & loved it from the get go. An exhaustive 7yr search hi & lo for music & i could never find the mp3 OR the CD. I found a WMA once but it had that ghey DRM shit & I could only play it 3 times. I played it once then the damn license stopped working.

Today however I go down in history as one of the few, the proud, an owner of a legit copy of the CD "Every Day is a Holiday"! Can you say Bittorrent folks???

[jordinyc]

I remember this!! *sigh*

[guitarest3]

Ive looked hard to find the CD or full video. any Ideas?

[neilwiththedeal]

Man, what a relief to see this after 13 years of having it in the back of my mind. lol, I remember being a kid then and just amazed by the graphics.

[Russoft]

@neilwiththedeal yeah, I've still got this on some black and white CD called REVEAL Microsoft Multimedia for Windows version 1.0.

[CDenic]

I got this video with my Packard Bell in the mid 90's too. I still have the computer and the CDs that went with it, and I actually managed to find the whole song too!

[GT0neX]

ha i had this too on my old packard bell...the pc is still in my garage somewhere, bought it in 94-95 too

[SpreadingtheMuse]

I bought the Cd off of ebay. If anyone wants this whole song, send me a PM and I'll email the mp3.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

THANK YOU. Now its even better than I remember.

[tenchimal]

i've been trying to find this for 14 years!!!! i finally know what it is. now i just need to find the whole thing. xD

[DoctorScissors]

The ol' Packard Bell Multimedia CD, I'll wager. I loved those videos. Like the dudes eating a banana in space and Bill Gates' flying videotape!

[chorn46562]

Love this song.  Too bad no one I know has this whole video, it must be somewhere.

[leftshirt]

i had looked for the holidays cd for years

i still have this cd

i LOVE this song

if anyone wants any songs let me kno

[eTpERI]

hi leftshirt, I would love to have that song... ;)

would you share it ?

cheers

[conradragzoff]

I could never find the CD, looked for years, I loved the song once I bought my old Packard Bell computer in 96.....

[MYONLYHOPE69]

i would love a copy of that song or the cd

awesome!!!!

[nirtanreb]

Yes, I would like a copy of Octopus of Love.

Neato!!!

[cujination]

i've been searching for this for 10 years.

[Festerius2008]

Me too!

[westonband]

Yeah I had the same disc that I got with my Packard Bell "Multimedia PC," and it always pissed me off that they didnt put the whole video on there! I guess compression wasn't what it is today! My favorite is the one with the dog and the videocassette that ended with Bill Gates pushing his glasses up his nose, and saying 'cool!' like a total dork!

[westonband]

Oh yeah, and I finally found this whole song on MP3 about 2 years ago... I was ecstatic!

[eTpERI]

I also had that Packard Bell CD and I know all those videos (with very poor quality, but quite fun).

Thanks for posting the video Ed ;)

yeeeeeeeah...!
