From 1969, here's everybody's favorite possibly insane sister act The Shaggs with their, uh, I have no idea what the hell it is, "My Pal Foot Foot." Animation done years after the fact, of course, but I think it catches the spirit of the, uh, song, rather well, don't you?
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
Not holding my breath, though.
I guess songs that reference body parts other than the heart is too obvious, huh?

Like that would be difficult...
Okay, I'm really sorry.
ReplyDeleteI think the connection here was a little....
tenuous.
It's group harmony. Which there is here, if only to the extent the song is actually music. I think.
I am ashamed....

This week's Listomania subject pales in comparison to the song in the clue, and especially the marvy cartoon. I am one of those crazy folks who has listened to the Shaggs more times than I should be willing to admit. True idiot savants of rock'n'roll, bless their hearts.
