Ana: That's a great sentence.
Nelly: Hello and welcome to We Can't Rewind We've Gone Too Far,
Nelly: your favorite semi-regular podcast about music videos.
Nelly: And today, we are joined by our favorite semi-regular guest, Anna.
Nelly: Tell us, Anna, where is your head up?
Ana: Hello, it's first is lovely to be back.
Ana: It's been a while. And yeah, my head, that's a very good question. I'm not truly sure. I've
Ana: been to some pretty cool and intense costume parties. And so I feel like I'm in a bit of a
Ana: realm of between reality and dreams. And besides, my aunt always told me that she never knew where
Ana: my head was, but that my feet are firmly on the ground.
Ana: At least your head's not in a monkey.
Ana: Oh, I don't know about that. It might be. Or a dog.
Nelly: so now let's talk about where is your head at by basement jacks which was a request or suggestion
Nelly: by an actual listener so hello chris thank you very much for your absolutely banging suggestions
David: people are listening oh my god yeah i know finally some confirmation but yeah thank you chris
David: Where's your head at?
Song 1: Where's your head at?
Song 1: Where's your head at?
Song 1: Where's your head at?
David: The video for Where's Your Head At?
David: was directed by a tractor.
David: Wait, no, I'm sorry.
David: It was directed by Traktor,
David: a group of filmmakers who directed a few music videos
David: before turning their hand to commercials.
David: The other music videos in question being
David: the Yeah Yeah song by Flaming Lips,
David: Push the Temple by Fat Boy Slim,
David: Plug It In, also by Basement Jax,
David: and the very not safe for work
David: Baby's Got a Temper by The Prodigy.
Nelly: The music video itself shot in Prague and stars Damien Samuels as "The Man" who has received
Nelly: a call from a scientist who claims to have "the latest thing in pop music".
Nelly: How mysterious!
Nelly: Weeeey!
Nelly: Let's talk about that.
Nelly: Uh, right, open floor for everyone.
Nelly: Uh, that music video I forgot existed.
Nelly: Uh, and it awoke some absolute nightmares.
Ana: Very good music, really good to bounce around.
Ana: but the visuals were definitely striking.
Ana: I really liked how they went from the puppetry to the CGI.
Ana: I think that was a very good transition.
Ana: But yeah, I don't know.
Ana: I don't know if that is the latest thing in pop music.
Ana: It sounds like things got a bit out of hand.
Nelly: But the CGI is genuinely very good for something done in 97, 98?
Ana: Oh no, it's good for the time.
Ana: But it inhabits that uncanny valley kind of scenario
Ana: that it was just like spooked out.
Nelly: in Prague. It's a guy who is
Nelly: a music producer,
Nelly: insert of some description probably,
Nelly: who has received a call from a scientist who claims
Nelly: to have the latest thing in pop music.
Nelly: There is an interview which
Nelly: goes weird where the scientist produces
Nelly: a band, we think,
Nelly: made of monkeys.
Nelly: Then things get out of hand
Nelly: and a whole underground
Nelly: kind of hostel movie
Nelly: vibe science research
Nelly: factory for monkeys
Nelly: and humans and shenanigans ensue.
David: Quite like the guy who's sort of established
David: as a dick straight away
David: when he's on the phone in the taxi.
David: You call him Prague the armpit of nowhere.
David: I think that's a bit unfair to Prague, frankly.
Nelly: Some really good music videos done in Prague
Nelly: apropos now.
David: But yeah, he's kind of established
David: as a music industry dickhead
David: is what I got from it.
David: Yeah.
David: Which there are a few I've heard.
David: Not based in real life.
David: Are you sure?
David: Yeah, the effects are pretty impressive
David: for the time.
David: It's like you can kind of see
David: the human face is sort of
David: joying out with the monkey face. Oh yeah, it's
Ana: giving like animorphs. I quite like
Ana: the idea of like the monkey
Ana: situation. Yeah, I was like
Ana: especially captivated by the little
Ana: puppet monkey at the start
Ana: and then changed because
Ana: it was good. It gave me some
Ana: NSYNC kind
Ana: of puppetry but then
Ana: you know, the
Ana: arrival to the lab and then him
Ana: being like involved in the whole trial
Ana: thing and then also gave me all the vibes of you know animal studies in the 50s people trying to
Ana: I don't know talk with dolphins and that kind of shit the kind of research that we would now they
Ana: see as as very unethical but that it was going on and it was a bit terrifying to be honest to think
Ana: about that but uh I'm glad in a way I'm glad that the monkeys had a had a bit of a rage going on there
Ana: I feel like I did have a bit of a flashback towards 28 days later,
Ana: but probably because I watched it last week.
Ana: So I was just like, oh my God, is that how it started?
Nelly: Are monkey bands the future?
Nelly: And the follow-up question, are monkeys the optimal animal to have as a band?
Nelly: And the follow-up question, what would be the most optimal
Nelly: or the most perfect animal to have in a band?
Nelly: Should you have the option?
Ana: You know, apparently there is a death metal band that the vocalist is a parrot.
Ana: Don't quote me on that.
Ana: I will double check my information, but apparently, yes.
Nelly: When you say a parrot, do you mean the actual bird or someone dressed as one?
Ana: No, no, no, no, no.
Ana: An actual parrot.
Ana: Yeah, metal band, parrot lead singer.
Ana: Yeah, the name of the band is Heatbeak.
Nelly: Sure.
Ana: Yeah, American Death Band featuring Waldo, a gray parrot.
Ana: So yeah, Hate Beak is the name of it.
Ana: So I mean, I don't know about many other bands.
Ana: Yeah, I mean, again, 50s trials, I know that they were trying to teach dolphins to speak English,
Ana: giving a lot of drugs to a lot of species.
Ana: So I don't know who could be the best one, but I feel like monkeys can be quite dexterous.
Ana: I can kind of see a monkey playing a xylophone.
Ana: Xylophone.
Ana: You know.
Ana: Fair enough.
Ana: Specifically a xylophone.
Ana: Like maybe a drum kit as well.
Ana: I feel like it had further like motor skills.
Ana: I don't think like a violin might be a little bit difficult.
Ana: Like not that it would be impossible, but I think it would take a long time to train a monkey
Ana: to play a violin.
Ana: While training a monkey to play a xylophone, I feel that's pretty damn doable.
Ana: But what do I know?
Ana: I don't work with, I mean, I do work with animals, but not in that capacity.
Ana: Have you tried to?
Ana: I have tried getting my cats to meow at the right time after playing a chord on the guitar.
Ana: It does not work.
Ana: Yes, but your cats are a demon sponsor.
Nelly: Well, at least one of them.
Ana: Oh, a little bit.
Ana: Maybe cats, actually, for a band.
Ana: There is the cat piano.
Ana: Oh, yeah.
Ana: The cat piano.
Ana: So it would be like, you know, a bit like the monkeys, in theory, they are only in control
Ana: when they're being like puppeteered.
Ana: The cats, if you just let them lose, they'll run away from the cat piano.
Ana: I don't think they'll decide to stay and chill and meow with pain.
David: If we ignore whether they're physically capable of doing it,
David: because I feel like if we ignore that, then it depends on genre.
David: Like, I think capybaras would be great at kind of like shoegazy sort of stoner rock.
David: Explain.
David: Just because, you know, if you...
David: Like capybaras.
David: Why specifically?
David: Because they're always just kind of hanging out there.
David: They're not very fazed by anything.
David: I think I can imagine a capybara doing some sort of improv shoegazy stuff, you know.
Nelly: Do you know what?
Nelly: I like this.
Nelly: New question.
Nelly: Let's rate animals as per genre.
Nelly: Per genre.
Nelly: So shoegaze, don't the rogue, capybara.
Nelly: Heavy metal, parrots apparently.
David: We literally have one, yeah.
David: So that was it.
Ana: That's it.
Ana: I think capybara would be reggae, to be honest.
Ana: They'd just be there chilling with like, I don't know, with little birds picking on them.
Ana: And they're just like.
David: What would be techno?
David: What animal is hyperactive enough for techno?
Nelly: Bears and cocaine.
Ana: There's some birds that are just like,
Ana: in spring,
Ana: are just like really like screaming,
Ana: fuck me.
Ana: So, yeah.
Ana: Seagulls?
Ana: Oh, seagulls.
Ana: Oh, seagulls.
Ana: Oh, they totally have that vibe.
Ana: Absolutely.
Ana: Oh, yeah, no.
Ana: Seagulls.
Ana: 100%.
Ana: You just like...
Ana: Techno seagulls.
Nelly: You just have them like play everything
Nelly: and you do the drop
Nelly: and you're just waiting for the drop
Nelly: and instantly the drop is just the seagull screaming.
Ana: I like it.
David: could be a type of bird for like samba because they do like the mating dance and stuff like that
David: there's definitely a samba bird out there peacock peacock some peacocking some peacocking nice
Ana: oh my god i went to a party and it was the straightest party i have ever been to in berlin
Ana: do they have those in berlin well apparently they do i was not expecting it uh and i went in
Ana: and it was really funny because the beat from the dj it sounded like it was saying peacock because
Ana: And there was this one woman surrounded by three men in different stages of undress.
Ana: It was like a wife pizza kind of thing.
Ana: And then there was the other one without his shirt already and spinning the shirt around.
Ana: And the other one was just like dancing with his hips kind of like thrusting.
Ana: And I was like, now that's peacocking.
Ana: I felt like I was watching a nature documentary about like human intercourse and the casillation habits.
Ana: I don't know.
Ana: Yes, I stopped dancing.
Ana: I was just like watching those people.
Nelly: Did you have David Attenborough in your head narrating all of that?
Ana: Yes, I was going to say,
Ana: now we see the female surrounded by potential mates.
Ana: She has to make a choice.
Ana: Who is it going to be?
Ana: The one without the shirt is showing his endurance and athletics
Ana: by spinning it in the air.
Ana: This January sounds like the straightest part you've ever been to over anyone.
Ana: It was hilarious.
Ana: I stay for the laughs in the anthropological study that was that place.
David: When you put it like that, the distance between us and monkeys playing music doesn't sound so big.
David: Maybe this video is onto something.
Ana: There was a cage as well, and there was people dancing inside the cage,
Ana: and it was very monkey-like because they were climbing on the cage and shaking the bars and screaming, but in happiness.
Nelly: Okay, going back to genres, punk.
Nelly: Punk. A betta fish.
David: I'll have to Google that.
David: I've put pictures of all of these animals in the chapter art.
David: If you look at your phone now, you might be able to see it.
David: Unfortunately, Spotify does not support this yet,
David: but other podcast apps are available.
David: I'll leave some links in the show notes.
David: Anyway, bye to the show.
Ana: How do betta fish?
Ana: Yeah, how do you look like that?
Ana: Betta fish?
Ana: Yeah, like a betta fighting fish.
Ana: I have no qualms with that.
Ana: Confirmed it.
Ana: Can you see it?
Ana: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ana: No, that's chicks.
Ana: So I gave one to my brother when I was little as a present for his birthday.
Ana: And he called it Lars Frederiksen.
Ana: And that fish loved punk.
Ana: And he used to live right next to my brother's speakers.
Ana: And he would like put a rancid for him and he would just like be vibing.
Ana: It was hilarious.
Ana: Like, I never seen such an expressive fish in my life.
Ana: Not even better fish in general, just that one specific fish.
Ana: To me, that specific one.
Ana: but it's like the whole beta vibe is fighting,
Ana: and then they become all big with the crest.
Ana: I'm not saying the punks are inherently violent,
Ana: but I suppose if they do, you know,
Ana: if they get a bit frisky,
Ana: the whole thing just, like, shows up,
Ana: and they're like, brr,
Ana: how to make them play.
Ana: I don't know, maybe you could have, like,
Ana: little buttons, you know,
Ana: an Arduino situation.
David: We can engineer our way around this problem.
David: Yeah, we can give him a Mac.
Ana: and
David: just imagine
David: one of those
David: like Apple
David: like I use my
David: laptop to make
David: music but with
David: like you know
David: a dog
David: do you know
Nelly: I'm not a
Nelly: Mac user David
Nelly: I know we're
David: pretentious
Nelly: good you know
Nelly: you play
Ana: oh so
Ana: pretentious
Ana: what would be
Ana: heavy metal
Ana: a crows
Ana: a murder of
Ana: crows
Nelly: I think we're
Nelly: stereotyping here
Nelly: I don't get the
Nelly: vibe of crows
Nelly: for heavy metal
David: they're probably
David: into classical music
Nelly: yeah maybe
Nelly: something like something like very emotional emotional rather classical music like Bach well
Nelly: like the or like because he plays lots of organ and his music is very very like intimidating all
Nelly: I'm saying is I don't know this I do have a crow tattoo on me oh I love that you should be friends
Nelly: you should be friend crows in the park I do they'll bring you trinkets I like crows they're cool uh
Nelly: that's not to say I don't like heavy metal I like metal music but um what do we have left uh we have
Nelly: 2000 india so what is the
Nelly: crappiest animal that exists out there
David: oh yeah i forgot you hated burbot
Nelly: the most boring animal
David: that exists
David: are they boring
Ana: apparently some people think it's the sunfish
Ana: there's someone who wrote an entire
Ana: rant on reddit about the sunfish
Ana: being absolutely useless
David: this is the second fish of google today
David: yeah they're massive but they have very
Ana: very tiny fins so they
Ana: can't really direct themselves or swim
Ana: very fast oh that's perfect so they're just like this buoyant giant and they eat jellyfish but the
Ana: thing is not many other animals eat them because since their diet consists of jellyfish they're not
Ana: very nutritious so they're just left alone to roam until they become gigantic sounds perfect
Ana: sounds absolutely perfect really seeing many arguments for saying that the boring uh the most
Ana: boring animal is is the sunfish they're cool though i think they're really cool i mean they're people
Nelly: who like 2000 indie music and that's so fine but that's perfect because like you if you leave them
Nelly: alone they either become massive and all-encompassing and like coldplay or they just fizzle out like oh
Ana: yeah yeah yeah like that one hit wonder kind of style of thing oh i don't know i'm terrible with
Ana: band names you can see i'm good with fish names yeah yeah random fish i also know a lot about sea
David: slugs but when it comes to windy band names what what genre is a sea slug oh it's a depend they
Ana: vary so much like honestly they are absolutely amazing so i feel like a sea slug would encompass
Ana: the entirety of the like latin american songs the entirety all of it because there is one for everyone
Ana: Don't let the walls carry in on you
Ana: We can't live all the world without you
Song 2: Don't let the walls carry in on you
Song 2: You get what you give, that much is true
Song 2: Don't let the walls carry in on you
Song 2: You turn the world away from you
David: Keeping on the nature documentary, Ben
David: Do you think that the bands who have the urge to trash the stage
David: Does that come from when we were monkeys and we just wanted to fuck everything up?
David: Is it like an animal instinct to trash a stage?
Ana: I think it's almost like a response of when you're like really pumped, you know, like,
Ana: like when you do something and you're like really pumped, mixed with like cute aggression,
Ana: you know, when you see such a cute animal, you want to squish it.
Ana: So I feel like it's a mixture of feeling the love of the crowd and that there is a cute
Ana: aggression in a certain way of like you know like even if thrashing everything around is a good way
Ana: to go i do feel like it's a very expensive habit i can't remember which band it was but um there was
David: one band where they would trash everything and then all the techs would run on and try and fix
David: everything like glue the guitars back together and yeah yeah i don't know like if it was like the last
Ana: show or maybe it's a goodbye show of a band and your guitar is already kind of falling to pieces
Ana: I think it might be a nice way to say goodbye
Ana: and then maybe like toss the pieces to the crowd.
Ana: I think that might be a good farewell show.
Nelly: This sounds like an incredibly healthy safe tourist
Nelly: because it's throwing like timber shards into people
Nelly: that are going to lodge into their eyes.
David: Yeah, I don't think it happens anymore, really.
Ana: We have like laser beams that could blind people in clubs
Ana: and nobody cares about, I don't know, them bouncing off mirrors.
Ana: They should, but they don't.
Ana: So who knows if they would care about a shard of metal or a splinter because of the woods.
Ana: But I don't know.
Ana: Who knows?
Ana: But I think it would be a good way to go.
Ana: I mean, it's in a band.
Ana: A band.
Ana: A good way to finish the lifespan of a band.
Nelly: So it's not your like...
Nelly: I'm actually secretly dreaming of going to the final gig of a band.
Nelly: We're going to trash their music instruments.
Nelly: We're going to...
Nelly: This is how I'm just going to go.
Nelly: This will be my end.
Nelly: I'm happy.
Ana: I think a lot about what I'm going to be when I reincarnate, but I don't know.
Ana: Like how I'm going to go is an enigma.
Ana: If reincarnation exists and if I can choose, I have my mind settled on what's going to be.
Ana: So I've got grand plans for the future.
Ana: Is it the betta fish?
Ana: No, no, no, no, no.
Ana: I'm going to be a sea slug.
Ana: One of those like really cool, colorful ones.
Ana: Nice, nice.
Ana: No borders, just going to hang out in tight pools and chill.
Ana: Be great and look awesome.
Ana: And eat some jellyfish.
Ana: So they eat the jellyfish and they pass the stings to their bodies.
Ana: So if any animal tries to eat you, you sing them as if you were a jellyfish.
Ana: Just really cool.
Ana: So I want to be one of those and be just like left alone from being eaten and just chat with
Ana: the other creatures.
Ana: Anyway, those are my plans for the future.
Ana: So David, what do you want to reincarnate as in your next life?
David: Possibly a capybara.
David: I feel like they just have the ultimate sort of social way of dealing with stuff
David: where they just walk up to any animal and they're like,
David: and none of the animals seem to give a fuck about them being there.
David: So I'm just like...
Ana: Capybaras are really cool.
Ana: Like I grew up with a lot of capybaras around me because, you know, Brazil.
Ana: They're from Brazil.
Ana: So yeah, but they're pals.
Ana: But sometimes what happens is like they invade people's houses and they go through their trash and they disappear.
Ana: And because of the like the rush of popularity, Capybara suddenly got like the maintenance of like population control and all of those things.
Ana: A lot of people are trying to get them as pets.
Ana: And yeah, it's becoming a little bit of a problem as far as I'm aware.
Ana: But, you know, I love a Capybara.
Ana: They're one of my favorites.
Ana: The best rodents.
David: Are they actually as chill as the internet makes them out to be?
David: Or is that a myth?
Ana: No, they are as chill as that.
Ana: They really are as chill.
Ana: There is this nature reserve where the main protected species there are alligators and
Ana: capybaras.
Ana: And they're just chilling one next to the other.
Ana: And usually there's a little bird poking at the capybara, eating the little fleas that
Ana: they have.
Ana: But they stink.
Ana: They are wild animals.
Ana: They reek.
Ana: I would not have one in my home.
Ana: But I love passing by and saying hi to them.
Ana: They're cute.
Ana: What do you want to reincarnate as, Nelly?
Ana: I'm curious now.
Ana: A cat?
Nelly: No, no, no.
Nelly: I really like asking those questions, but then not having answers to them.
Nelly: Monkey musician.
Nelly: No, because then that would require me to have some musical talent.
Nelly: And I don't.
Nelly: I don't know.
Nelly: I genuinely think Kroos is pretty fucking cool.
Nelly: Flying would be cool.
Ana: Yeah, you could do that.
Ana: Don't eat me, please.
Ana: I'm going to be a smushy thing.
Ana: I'm going to be smushy.
Ana: Don't eat me.
Nelly: No, I'm not.
Nelly: I'm not going to.
Nelly: I'll be in the opposite side of the world probably.
Nelly: Or I can become a seagull and just annoy the living shit out of everyone and still be a
Nelly: protected species.
Nelly: Which seagulls are in the UK.
Ana: Yeah, you would eat a lot of chips.
Nelly: Yeah, yeah.
Nelly: And I'll just be stealing people's pizzas and unattended food and I'll be like, fuck you.
Ana: Last time I was in the fringe festival, I went to get myself a crab and I gave like two bites
Ana: onto the crab and the seagull came out of nowhere and just took it away.
Ana: I was so angry.
Ana: It was a crap situation.
Ana: In a way.
Ana: But yes, I was very upset about my crap.
David: That was reincarnated in LA,
David: if you presume that time isn't linear.
David: That was just future reincarnated in LA,
David: stealing your crap.
Nelly: Yes, thanks to letting me know I shall haunt you
Nelly: next time you go to the fringe.
Nelly: So, anything else to say about this video?
David: Sorry, what's missing video?
David: I'm enjoying the wandering path.
David: has taken I think
David: it's perfect but
David: just I feel like
David: we're actually obligated
David: to actually talk
David: about the video
Nelly: would monkey bands
Nelly: be a good way
Nelly: to reduce ticket prices
Nelly: no because
Nelly: people would have
Nelly: to pay more
Nelly: because they
Nelly: have to be
Nelly: kept and taken
Nelly: care of
Nelly: and vets
Nelly: and all that
Nelly: yeah I was just
Nelly: wondering what
Nelly: next question
David: I just thought
David: when they're like
David: what is the business
David: plan here
David: monkeys are cheaper
David: are they cheaper
David: like surely you have
David: vet bills to pay
David: and all that stuff
David: like musicians
David: you can just kind of
David: you can just kind of
David: let them get on with it
David: they usually stumble
David: life. I've been listening a lot about
Ana: cults and I was listening about like the
Ana: children of God which don't listen
Ana: about that it's awful
Ana: strong do not recommend
Ana: but I would imagine
Ana: you know if we're talking
Ana: about the music industry and the way
Ana: it currently stands and how shit people
Ana: can be I think it would be like
Ana: monkeys in a compound being forced
Ana: to perform
Ana: so I think that would be cheaper
Ana: because
Ana: yeah they would just
Ana: be there
David: almost like circuses
David: factory farming for musicians
David: you just keep
David: keep them monkeys
David: going through
Nelly: isn't that what's
Nelly: happening at the moment
Nelly: anyway
Nelly: or has been happening
Nelly: for a while
David: oh well
David: they're getting replaced
David: by robots now
David: so it's fine
Nelly: well no
Nelly: all the
Nelly: all the music
Nelly: musicians
Nelly: like all the
Nelly: literal music factories
Nelly: in the like
Nelly: the 90s
Nelly: that were chilling
Nelly: churning out
Nelly: all the big boy bands
Nelly: and like girl bands
Nelly: that were just
Nelly: literally created
Nelly: oh god yeah
Song 1: like factory
Nelly: cookie cut
David: cookie cutter. That's the objective of the
David: monkey, the monkeys
David: is to accelerate
David: manufacturing bands. There's a quote from
David: a website that I can't remember. The video
David: contains the dig at the spugness of the dance
David: music industry when a performing monkey band
David: with human faces become the future
Ana: of music. I mean, I see that. I did
Ana: get that from the video, so
Ana: I'm glad that they gave me the message.
David: Cool.
David: Okay, we reviewed the movie video.
Ana: the puppetry at the start i really really liked it i think really passed on the message
Ana: the whole idea of like you know the way the criticism to the music to the music industry so
Ana: I really, really liked that. And I liked the transition and like how at the start, the producer
Ana: was just like, what the fuck is this? It's like some puppets and the piano, the fuck's going on.
Ana: And then it's suddenly taken to the lab where they see, it feels almost like going from a very shitty
Ana: prototype to a semi-finalized product. And I just like the idea of how the two of them sit next to
Ana: each other. Because quite often when I have to try and give people an idea of what I'm thinking for
Ana: doing as like going in a creative areas, like graphic design, and sometimes the first draft to
Ana: try to explain the situation is absolutely shit. But then, you know, when everything comes together,
Ana: it works. It looks really good. So I like that. But I also especially like that it ended with chaos
Ana: ensuing, which to me is the only good solution for the situation that those monkeys were in
Ana: and thinking about the industry music the way it is.
Nelly: So I feel like it was a very well-rounded story, to be honest.
Nelly: I miss videos like this that have a lot of money, a lot of creativity and the creative
Nelly: process.
Nelly: It's a nightmare for you all through and through.
Nelly: The CGI, as we already mentioned, it's great for its time, but also it utilizes the limitations
Nelly: that it had in a very good way.
Nelly: And I think it knew it had limitations,
Nelly: he knew how to use them
Nelly: in a very, very, very effective, creepy way,
Nelly: which I guess was the reason.
Nelly: And also, they allowed to show this
Nelly: in like daytime TV.
Nelly: The 90s were a fucking trip, yo.
David: Yeah, it does have that kind of 90s edginess
David: that you don't get so much.
David: Give me kind of Jurassic Park vibes.
David: They were too concerned about whether they could,
David: they should, they never stopped and asked
David: if they should or whatever the fuck it was.
Song 1: Life finds a way.
David: I was going to say.
David: Life finds a way.
David: Life finds a way.
David: the music industry finds a way to make itself worse and worse and worse.
David: This is an alternate timeline where instead of all musicians getting replaced by AI,
David: they got replaced by monkeys.
David: Honestly, I think I would have preferred this timeline, actually.
David: It's a good video. It's a classic.
Ana: It really is. I had never seen it before.
Ana: And I've heard the song so many times before as well.
Ana: So it's funny sometimes to just watch the thing.
Ana: It's like, oh my God, what's going on?
Ana: Which I find is often what happens when I listen to your podcast
Ana: and then I go like, wow, this is just a lot.
Nelly: Take a look at our short notes for the links to today's video,
Nelly: links to Instagram, social media, which we don't have much of left.
