Very strange and funny...Plympton has a really outre sense of humor, and most of the time I think his stuff is hysterical...this is no exception. Mostly, it's just a bunch of songs with animations and a very loose plot holding them together, a time honored tradition since Yellow Submarine.

I also love Plympton's signature scratchy animation style, it's really wonderful. Most of the songs aren't bad either...and who can resist the two guys in business suits whangin' on each other? always makes me laugh.

The wierdness level is really high in this one...you just have to see it and decide for yourself.
