XI Wiki
Running With Scissors was the first CD I ever bought, and I'm pretty sure I have the majority of that album memorized. I still buy his stuff instead of download simply because of how cool he is.

More videos need to have that degree of STYLE.
Seriously.

2009-08-27 23:31 #28You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

Ignoring the argument, there you go, but since bagel's not actually modding the shit that doesn't belong, just anything that someone he likes disagreed with, this'll be edited in a few minutes so that at first glance it looks like I randomly break out into song.
SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS AND RAINBOWS,
EVERYTHING THAT'S WONDERFUL IS WHAT I FEEL WHEN WE'RE TOGHETHER
BRIGHTER THAN A LUCKY PENNY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR THE RAIN CLOUD DISAPPEARS, DEAR
AND I FEEL SO FINE JUST TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE MINE
why must you torture me with laughter so
And just for the person that was wondering's sake, there's also a bit of the xylophone from Riders on the Storm, and the "bom baba luba" stuff is a takeoff on something he did a lot live, but also made it to record on LA Woman and a few other things (Roadhouse Blues from Morrison Hotel prob the most famous iteration of it).
As for the video itself, it's largely based around a famous live show with the trippy background, with some plays on scenes from Oliver Stone's The Doors movie, a bit of his own film (he was a film student, and they were some of the first people to make music videos as we know them now), and some randomass shit.

Not trying to start the argument again, as in essence it is a semantics issue and I took it too far, but if it helps show what I was attempting to say:
American Pie is directly parodied by The Saga Begins.
The Weird Al song Germs is a style parody of NIN, with the most obvious bits based on the song Closer.
Dunno if that makes any sense.
