   Wow, dude. Wow.

   I went back to the Rainn Wilson link and have to disagree… I think Magma takes home the prize by a small margin. He doesn’t have the groovy dance beats, but the falsetto that he graces us with starting around 1:40 can only be topped by his foaming at the mouth (do you see that?! Gross!)

   Manakin may very well prove to be nightmare-inducing, nonetheless.

     I plan to forget the mouth foaming ASAP, but I will always wonder what that plaintive “2V…2V…2V” was trying to convey.

   Thank you for the beginning of what is sure to become a recurring nightmare.

   That was amazing.

   May I submit, for your consideration, another reason why YouTube was invented:

   Probably one of the more creative music videos I’ve seen of late. Or at all.

     Oh. My. God. I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed harder. Apparently I do sexual things in secret shame?? Oh Harvey Sid Fisher–you know me like no one else. Lovin’ Leo Lion indeed.

   And, now my nightmares of the creepy looking, wacky waving, arm flailing, androgynous, freak man can begin. Oh, and as I run screaming a bad 70’s rock rhythm will be pounding in my head.

   Thanks for that Jon.

   I’m with joansy, his/her offering IS the reason youtube was invented.

    I just watched Apache and I think one of the dancing ladies had on black face. WTF?
