I wouldn’t normally watch an entire video of something like this (30 seconds max), but Fred Schneider is an exception to that rule.

I…I think they actually…shot green screen footage, then keyed out the green screen and replaced it…with a flat green backdrop in some of the scenes!

coincidentally, i’m making a christmas cake this weekend. not fruitcake exactly, but closer to it than christmas pudding. i’d never heard of this song either, but this is great – how is THIS not a regular classic, and that damn grandma/reindeer one is?

Elements of the video remind me of Quentin Dupieux’s film Rubber. Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVZ0B4iDS8w

Jesse Thorn interviewed Fred about this album back in 2010 when Bullseye was still The Sound of Young America. As an added bonus there’s also an excellent interview with Ronnie Spector.
