The phrase "the rabbit's paw" has played too many times in my head over the last eight years. Get out of my head, Matt Berry! And come join me for tea.
this is the funniest thing I have ever seen when the song just breaks down into this epic psycadelic experience and everyone is cheering dude that shit had me in stitches
My wife and I have children, but we watched this episode years before having children. I am pleased to inform you all that our children definitely and legitmately like Squiggleman.
"To be clear, this group is not Sesame Street. As Brendan Marston told MTV last month, 'I do have a goal in this lifetime to be the greatest children's artist of all time, [but] that's very difficult being that I am a 40 year old man.' He ended the thought with a laugh but you get the impression he's not kidding. Unlike their mentor Squiggleman, they're not interested in scrubbing away bits of themselves - mainly their willingness to experiment - to appease the masses. And while Squiggleman's alcoholism and paranoia of betrayal eventually consumed him whole, DOASM are still aware of their illusions. On Imaginary Lunch, Brendan and Michelle are crazy enough to truly believe they're the greatest out there. And, only a brief time into their career, the hardworking perfectionists have gained the talent on the mic and in the control room to make a startingly strong case for just that. After exiling themselves for months following last year's infamous bomb opening for Squiggleman, the group made some of their first comeback appearances at the school gymnasium in late July. Videos of the duo rushing into half empty bleachers in tailored YGG-inspired duds while gesticulating through new rhymes quickly made the rounds. The schoolyard visits seemed like a stunt, but they were prophetic. DOASM's 14-minute super-video of the astonishing title track peaks with a parade. Fireworks flash while a group of adults talk to various stuffed animals. At the center of the spectacle is a huge, pale. cartoonish rendering of a teddy bear's head. Imaginary Lunch's gargantuan 'Bouncy Bounce' soundtracks the procession, with Michelle Marston pleading, 'Bounce bounce, round the house, have you seen the little mouse.' The tribute marks another chapter in the group's ongoing obsession with jumping on beds. This reviewer couldn't discern exactly what was happening in the video -- he just know that it transcends children's music on literally every single level." - Review from Pitchfork Kids!
Sucks what happened to Squiggs. With all these imitators and "proteges" that sprang up, it makes you wonder which came first, the heroin or the paranoia.
Just saw this again on Portlandia on TV tonight. Hadn't thought about it in ages. Gosh, I love this scene!! Matt Berry et al are great and make this sooooo tongue-in-cheek funny! I've sat here and watched it on RU-vid over and over this evening. I needed a wee pick me up and this put a smile on my dial. 🙂🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
I'm a 32 year old guy into black metal. But if this were a real band and they played real kids music like this, I'd buy their music, listen to it in my car and take my 2 year old niece to see them and have an awesome time. Seriously.
@@bananababylon Right there yep, it was as soon as he started one handing the keyboard that reminded me of them. Matt Berry killed it in this and I share it all the time! Excited to hear him in the new Fallout series
