It's made by a production company called Wormseye Films. It might be the most joyous music video I've ever seen in my life.

that is awesome.

the world needs more singers using sharks as microphones.

Yikes, I hate it. I couldn't even get through the first 30 seconds.

― Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 01:09 (twenty-one years ago)

that means you missed the sharkophone. try again.

I hate that song still, but the video is great. Love the Hitler youth rally with the giant stuffed animals.

Looking forward to the Kidz Bop version of "Wait".

Wait'll ya see my pocket monster
Wait'll ya see my pocket monster
Wait'll ya see my pocket monster
Ahma beat that Squirtle UP
Like Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika Pika

Stupid kids always singing the song title SHUT UP AND LET THE GIRL SOLO DAMN IT.

yeah, this video is like beaming-ear-to-ear joyous. i love the whole we-taped-this-over-an-old-VHS aesthetic of it too!

It looks like some sort of tongue-in-cheek mockery of rock that Weezer might do.

I thought the exact same thing.

Nerdy fantasies about making it big some day? Check.

Ironic video involving furries? Check.

The only difference is that instead of a little Asian boy freaking out in the audience, a Weezer video would have a half-Japanese girl rejecting him.

The latest Weezer album will do poorly cause Kidz Bop took everything from them.

i like how the video's basically like if kidz bop remade the video to "maps"

That tiger deserves a couple animated GIFs

Thanks to Forksclovetofu I have to clean off my monitor now, due to the roflspray.

Ok, I watched it with the sound off so I at least didn't have to hear a song. All I saw was some stuffed animals, a few obvious "lo-fi" effects, and an annoying little snot that knows her own cuteness a little too well.

― Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, it does feature two of my three favorite things to have in videos (animal costumes, children), so I guess that puts it just behind Echo and the Bunnymen's "Seven Seas" video, which manages to work in the third (theater stages with stylized prop backgrounds). The ocean-mammal extra credit for the walrus should theoretically put it ahead of the Cure's "Boys Don't Cry" video (which only has children and the stage thing), but of course it doesn't, so I guess maybe I need to reevaluate these criteria.

Additionally, where did the zebra suddenly come from?

― nabiscothingy (nory), Thursday, 12 May 2005 05:01 (twenty-one years ago)

nabisco it had a 'david lee roth kick' too so it was 3-for-3 surely?

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 12 May 2005 05:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh the zebra animation MAKES the video. That and lil' asian boy.
I love that lil' guy. He's gonna make it!

Additionally, where did the zebra suddenly come from?

This is a great question. Actually, just as pressing is the question of why his mouth was digitally altered post-production. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??

In the silly cutesy video category, I prefer this one: The Blow - "Knowing the Things That I Know". I'd link it, but I can't remember where I found it (I want to say fluxblog) and cba to google it at this hour. It's the one with the 20-somethings playing a dorky card game over indie lap-pop.

― sleep (sleep), Thursday, 12 May 2005 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, Matthew started the thread so I guess he can confirm/deny the fluxblog thing.

― sleep (sleep), Thursday, 12 May 2005 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The Blow bother making videos? Has M2 switched to some all-random-indie-act format that I don't know about?

― nabiscothingy (nory), Thursday, 12 May 2005 05:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I posted a Blow song once, but I don't know that particular song and haven't seen the video for it.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Thursday, 12 May 2005 09:37 (twenty-one years ago)

That was cool. Another vote for the Zebra being the highlight.

Gator on bass = Classic

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 17 July 2005 01:54 (twenty years ago)

If you sent this to someone without telling it's a Kidz Bop music video, they'd think those 2 kids at the start were going to have sex.

Sick.

― Michael Costello (MichaelCostello1), Sunday, 17 July 2005 01:58 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha we have made Kevin ANGRY.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 17 July 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Wow, that IS brilliant -- even if I get the sense from the costumes that the director probably likes the Flaming Lips a lot.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 17 July 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

DAMM
