Ok guys…here’s a weird one for ya. There is this music video that I remember that was really weird, really funny, and I can’t remember the title. The only thing I remember when it comes to the title (or name of the artist, I can’t remember) is “Mr.” The name is “Mr…something”. The song had no words and was just a techno sounding bass beat, but the video featured a ragdoll/sock puppet looking thing that all he did the whole time was hold a phone up to a speaker and headbang. I think the point of the video was he was trying to sell the song to someone or something…and hot dogs showed up at one point…but the thing I remember the most is just the constant bass beat and this funny yellow thing headbanging along. If you know this…2 million kudos to you! ---

I got nothing, but when do you remember hearing it? If you could narrow it down to +/- 5 years it would be really helpful. Also, where did you see it? Youtube? MTV, ComedyCentral, HBO, Public Access etc… You might want to check out Sifl and Olly. ---

Oh boy this was about…10 or so years ago and I honestly can’t remember how I found it since this was WAY before youtube and stuff. I know that I downloaded the video from Napster I think…this was even before their lawsuit. ---

Lesse, 10 years ago would have been 2001, I would have been a Junior in college. I remember Sifl and Olly being on TV (in reruns) when I was a sophmore and at that same time Napster was really getting into the swing of things with music. Take a look at Sifl and Olly, it had a pretty distinct look and the time line would have been right for it to be on Napster (did napster ever do a lot with video) in 2001ish. You should be able to tell right away if it was the right show or not. ---

Yep, I knew it was Mr. Oizo’s “Flat Beat” with Flat Eric. I think he was used to sell Levi’s in Europe or something. A Flat Eric doll appears in the UK version of The Office. David Brent points him out as an example of how cool a boss he is. ---

That’s it!!! > [@Taomist](#): > > :p:p:p > > Never heard or seen it til now, but I can’t stop laughing. 😛 This is the exact reason why I wanted it. I remember it just being so stupidly funny that I watched it over and over again.
