Well funny. The image of him at the start in the corner looking miserable cracked me up.

that's not the phil collins of land of confusion
-
whatever the story, I've never liked phil collins' music, it's bland, just like his singing
-
Love the way he hammers the keys like he's playing drums

@vaccarovj Of course it isn't really Phil Collins! hahah It's a parody/spoof, with someone who sounds like him, copying his early style of music (he later went on to more dancey, electropop music) Though, I think they used the same company to make the puppets for the LOC video.

It's sad when a song made to parody Phil Collins in the style of Phil Collins is better than a song by Phil Collins.

all those toothbrushes falling out the cupboard may me scream with laughter.

@MuppetPro I've not heard that story, and in fact, around the time Land of Confusion came out, I recall reading an interview with Tony Banks in Smash Hits which would seem to contradict it. When asked how Collins felt about Spitting Image doing the video for the single, Banks replied "We haven't actually told him yet."

I love this!

Phil Collins is just brilliant! LOVE YOU FOREVER COME OUT OF RETIREMENT AND GIVE US ANOTHER ALBUM
Yes indeed I've heard this story.
It seems a bit unlikely but made for some nice publicity around the release of the spitting Image/Genesis collaboration.

Did anyone ever hear the story that Phil Collins was going to sue Spitting Image for this but he figured out that he would look foolish for sueing a puppet show so he asked them to be a part of the Land of Confusion Music Video so he wouldn't look like a complete idiot? Anyone ever heard this story?
