Unfortunate that this one novelty song is what many folks will think of when considering The Ophelias. Too bad there aren't any other videos from "The Big O," "Oriental Head," or "The Night of Halloween." They were a GREAT GREAT BAND that never wholly received the appreciation that they deserved.
I picked up "Oriental Head" because they covered John's Children's "Midsummernight's Scene", and nothing beats their song "Apron Strings". I never got into their subsequent albums for some reason.
What a great band they were. It's too bad they never got wider recognition. "The Big O" is pretty much note perfect. If only their records weren't out of print.
I can remember cranking the shit out of The Big O while on acid at my friends parents condo in Mammoth. Lawerance and Vivian became our imaginary guests who both had long back stories. Vivian from oblivian rode with sunglasses while seat belted to the lazy boy chair. Lawerence somehow ended up owning an industrial cole mine where he cashed in on diamonds. Youth what a thing.

Weird Al played this on one of his early AL TV specials. Been stuck in my head since.
