Animated Music Video: "Heil Do You Do?"--Original song

This song is for an animated dream sequence in our current monster movie project "The Hellish Horror of Hitler's Hummingbirds." Adolph Hitler is still alive, 120 years old, and very sleepy at his birthday party. As he drifts off into slumber he has a cartoon-animated dream reminiscent of "Pink Elephants on Parade" from "Dumbo", but with decidedly Nazi themes. That's what I was asked to create. I thought, "Well this HAS to have a catchy song for a dream like THAT!" Those of you who are familiar with the "Nick & Dix" series on this channel will enjoy Nick Baker's mad skills as a musician and orchestrator for the instrumental portion of the song. I handle the vocals. This scene is a work in progress, so nothing is final nor in any particular order. Along with some of the animation completed so far, I've also tossed in several of the prelim concept sketches, some of which I've crudely animated as well, like the "Happy Hitler". I do all of this in Adobe Photoshop 7 and ImageReady 7.

Are the elephants from 3:02-3:19 a tribute to Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo?

[BaronDixon]

@MichaelSar12IsBack Yep. The director said he wanted me to put in pink Nazi elephants so that the hommage will be clear. I just hadn't animated 'em yet. The pink Nazi's are also an oblique reference to that sequence.

Whoever made this is the new Mel Brooks.

@themysteriouscrumpet That would be me...and you're too kind!

[davidproper]

[BaronDixon]

@davidproper Best kind of dreams to have!

Hitler...**PFFFFT!** what an amateur. If he didn't suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder he could have been an effective dictator. I dunno....I still coulda taken him. Just some Tyrant Trash-Talk here..... I didn't know he could SING though. Amazing. Kind of like Louis Armstrong, only more Teutonic.
