Quails Given in Wrath

A music video for an obscure Old Testament passage, in which a yearning for the cucumber, lemon, garlic, fish and onion of slavery brings down quail-peril on the heads of the Ancient Israelites. It was an unfortunate time, with a lot of sand, grumbling, idolatry and Moses, and all in all I'm glad not to have been around.

At http://www.benswithen.co.uk/music you can, if you so wish, download the whole record for free. The record is 'Kibrothhattaavah!' or '400 Big Ones' if you'd like a title you can pronounce. It celebrates 400 years of the King James Version of the Bible, by bringing to life (or at least, setting to music) obscure passages such as this. Check it out, if you feel inclined, and don't if you don't.

Love the song.

The geek in me is saying that you've cleverly mixed Rover with Skagra's Sphere. Am I right?

@catamongthepigeons6 Not deliberately, though I might start claiming to have done so. I was aiming for Rover, but felt sure I wanted it to have the sound of many voices saying 'wobble wobble wobble wobble wobble wibble wob-wob-wobble wobble wobble wobble'. Behind Rover, of course, is a bitmap of Portmeirion that I drew in the year 2000.

I think you are the master, Master Ben. Thank you for my current favourite video. And this one. ;) I love my intro. TLFU
