This track has been floating around for years. It's pretty much the only cover that Primus regularly performs live (besides the YYZ intro).
The video is from the Tales From the Punchbowl CD-ROM (1995), which no longer works on any modern computer. I took the individual animation sprites from the source files and re-constructed it in Flash. Kind of painstaking, but fun.
It's also worth noting that the images that appear inside the eyeball are from the Residents' original video for Hello Skinny, circa 1978 - one of the earliest music videos - which now resides full-time in the N.Y. Museum of Modern Art.

I like both bands but the more I compare the two the more I see how primus picked up off of them, obviously Claypool was a fan of the Residents. A lot of his art seems to be comparable to the Residents work.

This is from the Primus enhanced cd that my label ION made in 1990's. I was able to connect Primus with the San Francisco art rock band The Residents. Resulting in several collaborations. The Tales from the Punchbowl album was one of the richest multimedia albums done. Featuring a full length animated experience for each song.

@rocknty I absolutely LOVED this CD-ROM. I probably spent entire days of my life floating around in Captain Shiner's tugboat. ION did a great job.

Indeed! And back in the day, they used to play it in the middle of Nature Boy (check out the video of them playing Nature Boy at Woodstock 94 for example).
