Tool - Right In Two - Dr. Seuss - Butter Battle Book

To think it all started with a simple prickly snickberry switch.

I didn't know there was a cartoon version of Dr. Seuss's The Butter Battle Book, animated by Ralph Bakshi, but when I found out I had to make this video to Tool's Right in Two urgently.

This is a fixed version of a previous upload. Windows Movie Maker is unfortunately WYSISOWYG, what you see is sort of what you get. But I liked how this turned out, so I took the time to fix the odd little misplaced frames. Tell me what you think.

Lyrics: (taken from the internet and therefore likely to contain inaccuracies)

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two [x4]

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
over another, Fight...

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Wow! I actually just read this book the other day and its now one of my favorites of Dr. Seuss's works. Very appropriate song choice. And actually, just heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago. Agh... so many things to say about this video, but only 500 characters makes it tough. Bottom line, great song, great story, and great video!

[MultiValium]

Saddest book I've ever read. Btw, great work on the video. That really is something.

[Vscreamer]

this video its fucking amazing. This vid really shakes your head!

[FlameExecutioner]

This can now be related to a very difficult, recent battle going on. If we all work together, we can make both sides be at peace.
