Pussy on the Mat
(YouTube link)
A music video set to the song Pussy on the Mat by poet and singer Ivor Cutler {wiki}, whom I never heard of before today. -via Arbroath
Good to hear. The fish just doesn’t look too peachy between :53 and :56.
that was pretty strange. Awesome!
Man, I can’t think of how many times *I’ve* said “Where is my dinner? Jumping little parasites!” so I guess humans and goldfish aren’t so different afterall!
Ivor Cutler sadly died a couple of years ago, but left a lot of vivid poems behind here in his native UK. Some are nonsensical or just love the sound of words, others very revealing about the human condition, and some, about his childhood in Scotland, very moving (e.g the “Life in a Scotch Sitting Room” series). He was a regular guest on John Peel’s legendary Peel Show on Radio 1 between 2006 and at least 1974. A true original indeed.
I heard Cutler live once – he was amazingly weird. His work’s an accquired taste, but wonderful.
Thanks for the vid’s post, Neato-gang!
Attn: Elfi: Only the filmmaker was harmed in the making of this effort. The fish segment of your concern is actually pennies wrapped in plastic bags, with a rubber band to make tails.
Verry special effects, ROFL
Long Live Ivor (and our bowl pets).
