I’m fascinated by the Flash Mob , where huge gatherings of people arrive on mass at a location just for a laugh. It’s akin to a protest, except they are not protesting, they’re just havin’ fun!
The first example here is from a Japanese TV show and is quite similar to a Dom Jolly sketch.
In London a huge gathering had a bop while listening to there own music on there portable music devices. Mobile Clubbing are the organisers of this one as far as I can tell. I’d reckon this is influenced by Silent Disco
This is a fantastic animated music video for Belarus band Lyapis Trubetskoy for a track called “Kapital”. If full of great propaganda
style images of well known leaders on the far left!
Here is a translation of some of the lyrics :
“I eat gold bricks for lunch,
Diamond dessert, oil cream.
My name is Beelzebub : the master of stratosphere,
I am unbelievably cool and commonly respected.
Refrain:
In my left hand is a Snikers, in my right hand is a Mars.
My PR manager is Karl Marx.
In my left hand is a Snikers, in my right hand is a Mars.
My PR manager is Karl Marx.
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
My face is Madonna, all filled with rotten pears.
All kneel! The orchestra play flourish!
Capital! Capital! Capital! Capital!
