Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Alles schlaft, einsam wacht! Nur das traute heilige Paar, Holder Knab im lockigten Haar!
Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh!!!

Ah. Now it makes sense.
These music threads with links always send me down all sorts of strange rabbit-holes.

It is amazing to me what people consider as good art or music now a days. I think it sounds primordial but to each his own.
Catchy tune! Everything’s new, indeed.
I think it taught me something about music: Get the percussion right, and everything else will follow.
Was a fan of Ernie a long time ago.
And monkeys! Always remember the monkeys.
The monkeys!
Wow, it’s like a mashup of the Nairobi Trio, Planet of the Apes, and German Rap music.
Aptly summarized.
Open-minded listeners [who hang on until the 15 sec mark] won't be disappointed. I can't decide which is the best comment over there:
I sharpen my claws to this song.
Or
What the **** did my brain just smoke?

My favorite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU1wLryjuEw
Not for the faint hearted. Absolutely best show I ever went to, and I'm old enough to have seen The Grateful Dead, Yes, Peter Frampton, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jethro Tull, Etc.
Needs more cow bell.
This is an allegory. The drumming monkeys represent hollywood. The washerwomen represent the loss of innocence and the train going into the tunnel represents.....oh....wait a minute......that was my dream last night......never mind......
Listening to the lyrics gives me the impression that he is a One World/Globalist dreamer. The recurring theme of the song is
“What you don’t like - make new”
I liked the line “I’m more beautiful than Bono, and I am a man of the people”
I couldn’t get to that one (I wonder what’s on it, lol) but I have a version bookmarked over here:
