Being called Harry myself this scare the living hell out of me as a kid... I'm loving the old school computer animation, reminds me of the Beetlejuice animated series.
This song was on the first interactive CD I had, called "FREAKSHOW". A masterpiece of computer art! I love the story when Grizelda fell in love with Harry, drawn by hand, but nevertheless a great cartoon!
Thank god I've found this again :) I first was this video way back in 1991 on an Apple Mac Quicktime demo (when QT was first introduced) but it was a matchbox-sized video and hard to see anything. The music has haunted me ever since, but I didn't know it was by the residents. Finally I can find out more...
In fact, The Residents put out a "freakshow" comic in 1992, published by Dark Horse. Some great people worked in it, big names like Kyle Baker and Dave McKean, each fleshing out a song from the CD and turning it into a 10-ish pages story. Bolland's take on Harry the Head is also included, and curiously enough it had different dialogue/captions than those it had in Heavy Metal.
Ramón Alanis My father was in the video game business and always had stacks of new games, programs, etc so as kids we we're not easily impressed with some new "cd-rom with interactive multimedia" bs. We we're COMPLETELY enthralled with this . The music, the cutting edge graphics for a home computer (at the time), and the whole universe that was behind this crazy ass song.
The ending of this where it shows the freaks in the "house"...Les Claypool totally took that for the menu in the Primus DVD Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People..not that that's a bad thing or anything, I just noticed :D
Yeah I see what you mean, and yes, if they'd are to remake it themselves it would probably be as good maybe even better. And I don't think it's good because of "it barely is good" or because a minority knows about them. I like them because they are geniousess.. :P And so is Gong, you should check them out some time if you like this.
if someone could post more videos of the freak show i would love it, i played the game constently through as a child, if anyone has "micky the mubbling midget" or "herman the mole man" videos i would love to see them again. "mickey the mubbleing midget is 10 years old today, Mickey the mubbleing midget, just ran away" so odd
Answer 1 and 2 ; The Residents are an American art collective and art rock band best known for their avant-garde music and multimedia works. Answer 3; Throughout the group's existence, the individual members have ostensibly attempted to work anonymously, preferring to have attention focused on their art. 0 Source: Wikipedia, I hope this information will suffice.
Clear as mud. Now, can you explain this? What's a woman going to do but throw away her bread? Her feet are feeling funny as she lies beneath the bed. She reminisces of the pungent Adriatic Sea and then she crawls and counts her cans and twitches like a flea.@@theheavymetalbrony2257
.... You don't. You want to loose the feel of the video? if you remake it, it wouldn't be cool anymore. Because of it's ghetto-ness it's a piece of art. :) And Dazamaru guy, they're not a pop band (well perhaps they are seen like that now) but they are an avant-garde music band. Which means they do expirimental rock combined with art, Andy Warhol kinda art.

Harry fucking Partridge?! On a residents video??
this just made my day
Hey didn't your dad collaborate with The Residents? I know he helped with Commercial Album
These comments have got me curious too. Is Harry Partridge’s father Harry the Head? Hahaha
As he held it in his teeth, he painted angels on the skirt I wore ... BRILLIANT!
i can live forever in formaldehyde

No need to comment. The whole album or Show speaks for itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people used to believe that these insane gods were the beatles.i honestly hope that teir mysticism is never broken.
It has been broken for years. Even casual fans know the two principal Residents' real names and what they do/did with the band.

A head needs a heart
and a heart needs a head
I just need some bread
and a shirt and a bed
Oh god. I remember this from the Freak Show CD ROM. The video kind of reminds me of The 7th Guest.
los mejores temas sin duda, semolina y happy birthday to me

Nah, a freaky dad :P

said The Head

hell yes
Is this film made by the Residents themselves?
oh well, thanks. time was not important so its fine. I appreciate it.
if someone could post more videos of the freak show i would love it, i played the game constently through as a child, if anyone has "micky the mubbling midget" or "herman the mole man" videos i would love to see them again. "mickey the mubbleing midget is 10 years old today, Mickey the mubbleing midget, just ran away"

Some thought they were the Beatles. What do you mean about "honestly hope that teir mysticism is never broken."? I don't follow.
