who else hears The Small Faces, Adam & the Ants, Madness, Devo, Mr.Bungle, Major Parkinson and all the other favourite band at the same time? How can it be that I have never heard of them until today??? There you are! ❤Finally! 🎁
I remember watching this on channel 4 in 86? Loved the song and the video is sooo funny. Ive seen it so many times but it still makes me laugh. The lad in the glasses reminds me of mark off peep show.
I kept getting this video recommended to me in the early pandemic days. When I finally caved and the song fully kicked in, I was so stunned I couldn't process anything I was seeing or hearing. It was like it was begging me to be repulsed, yet something about it kept bringing me back... I've since grown to really like Cardiacs. Wish I had caught the wave a little sooner. RIP Tim Smith and Tim Quy!!!
I asked Chat GPT to write an essay based on the lyrics of this song. Understanding the Rules and the Search for Meaning Life often presents itself as a set of rules or structures that individuals are expected to navigate. Many people find themselves in a position where they understand these rules, yet struggle to uncover the reasons behind them. This phenomenon is particularly evident when considering the ever-changing nature of life, where rules seem to adapt and transform with each passing season. It raises questions about the fundamental purpose of these guidelines and the underlying principles that govern our existence. The Nature of Time and Self-Awareness Time is a constant and relentless force that seems to accelerate as we age. It passes by with an alarming speed, often quicker than we can fully grasp. This acceleration is metaphorically likened to a nail that seals our fate, confining us within the bounds of mortality. The finality implied by the nail speaks to the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of life. Within this context, the awareness of one's own existence becomes a crucial element of human experience. However, this self-awareness can also be a source of profound existential distress, as it forces us to confront the reality of our own mortality and the limitations of our understanding. The Reality of Self-Knowledge One of the fundamental existential questions revolves around the authenticity of self-knowledge. Is the awareness of our own existence truly real, or is it an illusion constructed by our minds? This question challenges the very nature of reality and perception, suggesting that our understanding of existence might be more fragile and subjective than we realize. The doubt surrounding the reality of self-knowledge reflects a deeper philosophical inquiry into the nature of consciousness and the human condition. Juxtaposition of Tangible and Intangible Life is a complex interplay of tangible and intangible elements. A slice of life, representing tangible experiences, and a piece of mind, symbolizing our thoughts and consciousness, are laid out metaphorically to illustrate this interplay. This juxtaposition invites introspection about how our physical experiences and mental states influence one another and shape our understanding of existence. Finding Meaning in the Mundane The imagery of taking a key from the gravy and unlocking a cage that holds ravens in suggests that solutions or keys to understanding can often be found in unexpected places. Gravy, a mundane and everyday substance, becomes a symbol of hidden potential and meaning. This metaphor emphasizes the idea that profound insights and liberation can emerge from the ordinary and chaotic aspects of life. The act of unlocking the cage signifies a desire to free oneself from constraints, whether they are mental, emotional, or existential. Conclusion In conclusion, this exploration of existential themes highlights the complexity and depth of the human condition. Understanding the rules that govern life without fully grasping the reasons behind them can lead to a sense of confusion and disorientation. The relentless passage of time and the awareness of our own existence force us to confront profound questions about the nature of reality and self-knowledge. By juxtaposing tangible and intangible elements, and finding meaning in the mundane, we can unlock new perspectives and insights that help us navigate the existential labyrinth of life. This is what it wrote.
Hello Sarah, met you by the Pyramid stage at Stonehenge when I was 17. My names Bozena and we were waiting for Eddie Chippington, my boyfriend, to come on. He didn't make it.
First time i saw the Cardiacs I thought someone had brought a few mental patients from the local asylum , gave them instruments & pushed them on stage, Felt the same when i first saw a welsh band Sicknote too, both some of my favorite bands to see live.
This is who Deadsy stole their drip from??
This is music… Very bad music … but music, nonetheless.
Was this the inspiration for Primus? Why do I feel like a young Les Claypool saw this and thought "Brilliant!"?
Looks and sounds like a Benny Hill skit. Quite awful
The best video i have seen
This is what happens when you listen to jazz on crystal meth.
Kill Crimson! Slay the Giant! Sat NO to YES! Porcupine barks up the wrong tree - THE SINGULAR GREATEST UK PROG band EVER!
I've done the Tim dance on so many occasions. What a guy.

I love this so much. Music for those with severe ADHD.
YOU STOP ACTING LIKE THAT!!!
The Original Clown Core.

Didn't know David Mitchell played keyboards when he was younger.
This just sounds like all the presets on an E-mu.
what the actual fuck was that? brilliant
I think they might have gone a bit OTT with this one?
Didnt know Fat Mike played sax in Cardiacs
They seem nice.
I think these guys are Tim and Erics dads
0:43 I wonder what's that way of singing and the music tone is called.
Utter British genius.
any Cardiacs day is a good day
This is super freaky in such a good way.
the vibes are immaculate
Man, is it just me or are these guys trying to take a giant shit all over the Beatles? XD
The keyboard player looks like John Oliver's creepy uncle.

I feel like I'm going insane🧐
dio vacca
Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo were of the same ilk, no? Boy, I love this song!
Wish Tim & Co had been around for longer. Love this band, glad I got to see them live. A sad loss.
Fucking brilliant.
Its kinda like if "The Kids In The Hall" were a band.
Set 6 maths:
Stupid
First time i saw the Cardiacs I thought someone had brought a few mental patients from the local asylum , gave them instruments & pushed them on stage, Felt the same when i first saw a welsh band Sicknote too, both some of my favorite bands to see live.
They had all recieved a lobotomy in their teens and met each other in the recovery ward...true story !
When was this
WTF?😮
It’s like Frank Zappa meets Keith Emerson meets The Reverend Horton Heat meets Syd Barrett. This is mental…..I like it
Every time I see the keyboard player I see David Mitchell…
Wow - I'm new to this. Devo meets ELP (and this is a GOOD thing)!
Is this where Tim and Eric got their aesthetics from?
Fucking awesome!!
It would be a very different world where this had 100 million views.
