This might be my fav video so far!!
It looks great and really original. :good:

And... I might be crazy butI think the beginning is a little homage to Jan Svankmajer,s "Food".
I don't know if you know who he is but here is the video and tell me what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nUkQheb9n8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

WOW! This one was great! Made me like the song even more, and it was cool to see so much of the band. As people have mentioned, this will take multiple viewings to catch all the jokes!

Yeah they do, albeit with Al's face. :lol:

Fun, wacky video. Reminds me of the Whatever You Like video - tons of Al references, great for fans, but also a little distracting. Stop motion was very-well done. I'm really curious if all the different pictures of Al's face were actually unique cutouts or if computer software made it appear as so.

Did anyone else notice Jay Levey's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? :bigups:

This is another really good video. The animation is really cool, and there are a lot of visual gags.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

First time I watched this, at the beginning I thought it will be live action, and thought "Why is it not Al's hands, nails are completely different! Wait, that's kind of creepy that I notice that..." :lol:

There's also an ad "duck hunt", I guess that counts as "I want a new duck" reference.
