The song satirizes the fact that much of ''avant-garde'' Cinema pretends to be deep and profound, but is ultimately meaningless and pompous. The "narrator" of the song is an enthusiastic fellow (apparently a student filmmaker) who wants to make the titular movie. He extols its greatness and makes grandiose statements about it, but he hasn't even made it yet - indeed, he can't even explain what it's supposed to be about. The video itself is a parody of experimental films and is ostensibly "directed" by '' and '' Man With The Movie Camera ''). In spite of They Might Be Giants originally planning to make a separate video for the " MTV crowd," they have declared the Homestar Runner video to be the song's official music video. It was the first (and so far only) Homestar Runner cartoon to be shown on TV. EXTERNAL LINKS |
