Composed from 400+ images, it's basically an A.D.D. rebus for the obsessively-compulsive-multi-syllabic-phoneme-full electro-rap song "Shanghai Masai" by Shinjuku Zulu (feat. MC Shankhini).

(A rebus basically uses pictures in place of words,
i.e. the lyric "Tokyo gringo" = toe + key + yoyo + the letter "g" + wedding ring + green light... etc. )

The song is from the "Various Chimeras" CD, on iTunes Here and Mp3s for any player (& CDs) of the song are also at CDbaby HERE

PS. Check the tags above for this post for celebrity appearances in the video...

P.S.S. please post in the comments section any of the rebuses you happen to catch... lots of visual puns, i.e. bass (fish) for bass guitar, etc.

Here's the video at Youtube:

Well, that's nutty and cool in the best possible way - track and clip both.

I remember the track from a previous post. But the collage is a nice addition. Feeling very post-whatever with all those pop culture references, though G-Ringo and the 'hey' Ramones flashes were fun in the best posible way. Really liked the Little Eva clip - appeals to my penchant for obscure in-references.

hey john

another maybe is "with the bass low" = witch minus c + a grab of the "all your base belong to us" meme + a nick lowe cover (refering back to the David Bowie "Low" earlier and that whole story of their albums being named after each other).

the main function of the video is to have viewers get the connections after a few views... and i like the effect of the brain getting the connections after it's passed by but still trying to see/interpret what it's seeing at the moment...
