Barnes & Barnes ~ “Fish Heads”

Thinking about Comedy as Rock recently, thinking about you and me and all that is coming in between us, girl. I understand that my cultural identity resembles a Chevy, and I shat you super tasty and real. Any who, Barnes & Barnes did not change my life, but then again, neither did Punk Rock, but to each his or her respective own on the bright gray telephone mocking rasta fuzz for the long haul. The music video is quite probably as well known as the song, no? One of the blokes from Barnes & Barnes used to be a big deal on TV programs in the ‘60’s man, but his name escapes me…Bill something? He produced material by Wild Man Fischer, who formerly was produced by Mr. Zappa. He also produced Crispin Glover’s one released record as of this moment.

This is a great song on the whole, I love the feeling. Weird for the sake of weird, perhaps, but it is quite catchy and musical with fun little melodies. Comedy, novelty, I am so confused I might as well turn into a sassy little cheetah baby sipping your staircase under a starry Neanderthal gaze, because it is all about hunting and gathering in my neck of the spiritual atmosphere. The actor Bill Paxton actually directed (or acted in, whatever) the music video, so this is even before his bully brother routine in “Weird Science,” and he also appeared in a Tales from The Crypt episode with the great Brad Dourif, not a bad track record. However, his involvement with Barnes & Barnes is unknown to me, so you might want to ask Dr. Demento. The other bloke in Barnes & Barnes is a stranger to me but give him a call if you want to base your life upon his teachings…

Don’t fight the feeling:



Art and Artie Barnes, to be precise.
