hehe, that's pretty good. I don't know if I prefer that or the kittens one at www.rathergood.com

I have to say, that's the best 'comedy web video' i've ever seen. And i've seen a fair few.

It must have taken them ages to get the lip-sync so perfect on Bush and Blair Well done that man (or woman.)!

what about the phoney state of the nation address? that one was realy well done. Granted, they were actual quotes, but they were put together so well that it didn't sound like it had been butchered from different speeches.

if anybody knows where to get it, can they post it up here?

and Gay Bar is a quality tune. electric six do do some funky stuff. Naked Photos is on the cover CD for this month's BANG! magazine - worth the cover price alone.

As I remember, the Bush speech was at http://www.fuckitall.com

Both classics.

I must admit though I did think the state of the nation speech was real for first 1/3 or even 1/2 of it! It is really good, I think it's all the standing ovations and that woman nodding all the time which give it away (apart from what he's saying of course!)

That is absolutely brilliant. But I will never be able to listen to the song again now without seeing those two.

I have to say, I still think the 'gay bar' video is better. But, both great.

[Cain]

has anybody seen the actual video for Gay bar?

having said that, it might not be such a bad idea for Electric Six to buy that Blair/Bush video and use that to promote the song - more controversial than t.A.t.U.

Thanks

Controversial? you could say that, according to what i've just read on www.res.com

"Gay Bar" for Electric Six reunites the band's disturbingly photogenic front man with "Danger! High Voltage!" directors Kuntz and Maguire. As a jangly guitar riff opens the song, a painting of the White House, circa 1863 appears; as the song continues, the camera zooms into the painting revealing a top-hatted figure. The live action cuts in to reveal Abe Lincoln belting out the song's chorus ("You! I wanna take you to a gay bar") from within the Oval Office. Mysteriously, Lincoln clones appear to either side of the great emancipator and join in the song. Soon, the bearded one is revealed riding an exercise bike, flanked by nearly naked clones pumping iron and breaking a sweat. Lincoln leads his band of amorous duplicates through an orgy of homoerotic images involving hamsters, gourds, bathtubs, leather, stripper poles and a frilly, lace-covered four-poster bed. The video merges with the song in a mix of ironic energy and shocking displays of tongue-in-cheek Lincoln- on-Lincoln lust.
"There are rumors that Lincoln was actually gay, that was our stepping off point," says Tom Kuntz. "We thought top hats, the White House and well, texturally it all seemed to make sense."
Shot in Toronto on a set originally built for the filming of Murder at 1600, the video is most likely the directing duo's last effort before beginning production on their first feature film, based on a script created by the razor sharp satirists behind The Onion.

however, another music site said that the song has been delayed because of the line "Start a nuclear war at the Gay bar," and that the band are writing alternate verses, maybe even an alternate video.

Just when you thought that Danger! High Voltage was the funniest video of the year.

seen it on MTV2 - Gay Bar nuclear war is replaced by clapping,and there are a variety of phallic objects for "I've got something to put in you"

[HappyCamper]
