Admit it, there isn’t.

I was right. There definitely isn’t.

Thanks Alex!

1 Ant January 20, 2009 at 10:43 am: The inspiration for Uncle Muscle’s Hour / Casey & His Brother?
2 Matt January 20, 2009 at 10:59 am: I lost the ability to breathe while watching this. It’s *that* good.
3 Mr Angry January 20, 2009 at 11:01 am: That is most excellent.

I am particularly impressed by his clear determination to wring every last penny from the production budget for use on special effects (moon bases etc.) and then deciding this would be complimented by singing in his Office Depot uniform. Kudos to that man.
4 Peter Serafinowicz January 20, 2009 at 11:16 am: Wonderful. Here’s a making of for one of his other songs:

containing a sequence on a beach apparently shot outside of our solar system. I don’t know how he is breathing,let alone singing…

UPDATE: A caption explaining that it was shot on Phil Katt’s Green Screen appears halfway through. I feel so silly!!

I’ve checked out some of his other songs, I quite like them! He’s clearly a talented songwriter.

6 jim January 20, 2009 at 2:08 pm: at 2:43, it looks like someone has told him that the argos sale is now on.
7 A Dawson January 20, 2009 at 3:44 pm: I don’t want to be a purist, but I have to say his early stuff is much better than this more recent commercial material which is just pandering to the masses.
8 Paul McIntosh January 21, 2009 at 2:37 pm: There are so many reasons to love this. In a strange way it reminds me of my childhood when posing for formal photos (school photos, weddings etc.) we were told to do our “best standing up”, no slouching, arms firmly by one’s side. I admire anyone that still lives by that rule in adult life when presented with a camera.
