Foot Foot

A fan video of the Shaggs song 'My Pal Foot Foot'

From the Shaggs website;

Perhaps no album, either prior to or since, has generated as intense a reaction   as Philosophy Of The World did upon its reissue. Most critics loved it, although   their reasons varied greatly. Some thought the Shaggs were a joke, or some elaborate   hoax. Debra Rae Cohen in Rolling Stone (which cited the Shaggs as the Comeback   of the Year band in their 1980 Rock and Roll Awards) said, "I'd call Philosophy   Of The World a work of primitive American genius but I'm too busy rolling on   the floor." Others took the Shaggs more seriously. Bruce D. Rhodewalt in L.A.   Weekly said, "If we can judge music on the basis of its honesty, originality   and impact, then the Shaggs' Philosophy Of The World is the greatest record   ever recorded in the history of the universe." And OP magazine said, "The Shaggs   integrity and purity of vision shine through like a 50,000-watt lighthouse on   a stormy night. Listen to this record. It will change your life."

Holy Crap... everyone in the office almost just died watching this. We're listening to Philosophy of the World right now which prompted a nostalgic search for any remote Shaggs videos, and low and behold. F'n Brilliant!
