Is it? IS IT?

Please, someone, help me. WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Oh, @CptSparkles, why would you send me this? WHY?!

    Is that Rockapella!?

    I enjoyed the bodypopping where they cut to a closeup of the little girls face when she almost certainly fouled up her move. About 2 mins in.

    Oh man, the entire “film” is on YouTube. This is a dangerous rabbit hole to go down.

  • David O’Doherty

    although I’ve never been there, I’m pretty sure this is what they call in America, a ‘block party’.

  • greebo1

    Which one became Fatboy Slim?

    I actually quite like the song, interesting harmonies and some really avant garde melodies. But it all gets really weird when Captain Blue Rinse arrives…and why the lingering shots of peoples shoes? And of course the ominous ending as they contemplate the Twin Towers…brrrrrr.

    I couldn’t stop watching. This doesn’t really explain anything, but it puts a name with the blue-haired guy: Rem Lezar.

  • Ian Darwinian

    I think it’s the long lost pilot episode of Fame

    I thought I was having problems understanding the “Vynt” video, but now I’ve got this on my plate. It is several lorry-loads-worth of Wrong.

    You can read all about the show here;

    Watch the whole thing on youtube, it’s got some great dialogue. You won’t be disappointed. This is what the internet does best, keeping stuff like this alive. This and ‘Thespian Billy’ deserve to be remembered in all their awkward ghastly glory. Thank you internet, thank you.

    I love this song. I don’t care who knows it. Even the Wesley Snipes bit.

  • Richard

    Why the WTC at the end? Did they KNOW?

    Dr volume, have u even heard any ‘avant garde melodies’ before? I really don’t think u should soil the good name of avant garde by relating it to this film.
    I think I may have seen this film when I was younger…might explain a few things, like why I hate shoes.

    It’s Sportacus from lazy town meets The Wiggles – hot potato!

    It reminds of of Caravan of Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6GXV0FNEeI

    Sillies. This is just one of those rock opera / Broadway fusion things. Quite obvious, it has three musical movements and tough streetmen, clearly from the wrong side of the tracks, dancing and clicking their fingers.
    This one apepars to be an 80s riff on Romeo and Juliet and the violin bit at the end is the marriage of the two kids

    Simple really

    … not sure about Captain Blue though. He might be Friar Lawrence

  • Matt “Phriendly” Bullard

    This has nothing to do with the video, but you MUST click the link below, Robert. It is everything you want in a harmless, but creepy internet video. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI5xWbRXbU4

    P.S- You are the greatest.

    Isn’t the guy in the glasses from the Proclaimers?

  • Maestro

    This is just like Jack Morgan’s ‘Little Mouse’ video. Only joking this is awful.

    When i was 8 and my parents divorced, and I'd spend a weekend a month on the floor of my Dad's bedsit and hang around on the wee-balded grass verge outside the pub, making up dance routines to Belinda Carlisle songs while my Dad drank until afternoon closing, dropping off fatty snack-parcel-quiteners of prawn cocktail crisps and cherry coke and I knew, deep inside my popfilled kiddly brain that something was wrong, it felt just like the feeling I get when I watch this video.
