This is the second video where I test a video effect that allows me to be two people at the same time.

Here's the lyrics:

I think Im sophisticated cos Im living my life like a good homosapien.
But all around me everybodys multiplying (like I did for this video) 'till they're walking round like flies man.
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo, man.
Cuz compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees, I am an ape man.
I think Im so educated and Im so civilized cuz I'm a strict vegetarian.
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians.
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I wanna sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
I'm an ape man, Im an ape ape man, Im an ape man. I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, I'm an ape man.
Cus compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an ape man.
In mans evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle.
Cuz the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
CHORUS
I look out my window, but I cant see the sky
The air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man.
Come and love me, be my ape man girl
And we will be so happy in my ape man world.
CHORUS
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I wanna sail away to a distant shore
And make like an ape man.

    Geez, I think I need to stop sniffing glue when I watch YouTube......

    Good Job !!!

  • Great! A classic example of less is more. One guy, a uke and a bass, a great song, good voice and a sense of humour - the whole rock n roll package. If only our so called superstars and divas would keep it this simple! Well done guys (I take the eye test next week, BTW)
