This is a pretty insightful metaphor for life. Where did this video come from? I didn't see it on the Commercial DVD.

Thanks Talloweed. I made this myself with some found footage... I wanted to make a video for The Commercial Album and this is the track I love the most... Other than the track that gave me my Youtube name. Regards.

Ok, let me admit that I know little about the Residents having just discovered them. I love this song, but some of the others I listened to are too 'hard' for me. Are there others similar to this one in style?

Try Eskimo or more tracks from The Commercial Album. Fairly approachable music... Their far out music is great too! Genius.

Yeap, The Commercial Album is full of songs with a big heart. The Residents' music is not from this world, it's so strange and so beautiful and fantastic. Eskimo is a brilliant album also.

Yes, Eskimo is amazing... I have the album on vinyl and find the cover and music very haunting. Cheers.
