Attack of the Killer Singing Dolls from Beyond the Uncanny Valley!
From the movie Thunderbirds are GO (1966.) This is the famous marionette work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson that was the inspiration for Team America: World Police. The lips move in time with the actors’ voices via electromagnets hidden in the puppets’ bodies. Link via The World of Kane.
If this doesn’t qualify as “Queasy Listening,” I don’t know what does. Connie Chung, distraught over the cancellation of her lame cable show, and apparently harboring more than a little resentment towards her tool of a husband-slash-cohost, decides to channel her feelings into art.
Some things to watch out for: Connie’s drunken leg-waving and skirt-flapping, her less-than-graceful descent from the piano (unnnnnnnnngh!) and her collapse into a catatonic stupor at the very end. Oh, and signs of any movement or life whatsoever from the “pianist.”
Everyone’s favorite French-pop surrealist disco outfit indulges in some retro computer love.
Terrifying rendition of the Chicken Dance on the Lawrence Welk show by Accordionist Myron Floren and his lockjawed family. Kids! Don’t… forget… to SMILE!
