The performance is my very loose interpretation of a very old gospel song. The singing is tinny even for me, but the guitar vibrato makes up for it. The video is taken from an incredibly strange 1934 film by Ladislas Starevich ("Fétiche Mascotte") chronicling the adventures of a dog puppet desperately trying to get an orange for a girl dying of scurvy. While doing this the dog puppet himself dies, yet he still tries to get the orange for her in Hell.
It's about ten times as nihilistic as Disney's Toy Story and I think almost as good. If I'd done justice to the gospel song, it would have fit the movie perfectly.
