Electric Six - Down At McDonaldz

Video taken from the album "I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master". Certainly the band has never sounded this good: the junk synths, sequencers, and guitars sound clean enough to almost mistake this for a Good Charlotte record (the well-deployed clarinet and saxophone on "Down at McDonnelzzz" remind us that this is not Good Charlotte after all). This is more like Pere Ubu circa Cloudland: all manner of burbling instrumental tomfoolery over which an outsized personality bellows nonsense of varying degrees of relevance and pungency while the sparkling mix makes it all sound creepier.
