"Egg!"
In keeping with yesterday's Animation Theme, here's Peter Gabriel, circa 1986, and his highly animated music video for "Sledgehammer."
I was lucky enough to have attended two of Peter Gabriel's stage shows, and the experience was more like watching performance art than your a typical rock concert--he is truly no mere rock star, but an artist. This music vid is definitely a work of art of the most sublime kind. A pre-Wallace-and-Gromit Aardman Animations did the claymation, and the Brothers Quay (Street of Crocodiles) provided the stop motion-animation portions, with Gabriel laid out under a sheet of glass for hours at a time while the video advanced one frame at a time. Nick Park himself (Wallace and Gromit's dad) did the part with the two dancing turkeys, giving them great personality despite a lack of heads or feathers.
We were never quite sure what this song was trying to say, but we suspected it might be fairly dirty.
