Toe Jam

This song came on the radio as I was driving into town, and Molly and I hit rewind to listen to it like eight times in a row, laughing our asses off the entire time. David Byrne at his lunatic best, over a catchy as hell calypso/funk groove by Fatboy Slim, with a rap by Dizzee Rascal in the middle just to add to the insanity. I love all three of those artists, but never expected a collaboration between them.

Then I came home and watched the video, and it too is silly and crazy and cool as all hell! But I'm reluctant to link to it because it demands enough attention that you can't really pay attention to the music at the same time. So go listen to the song first. After you're done with that, you can watch the video and read David Byrne's comments.

What's it about? Well, in a way the video that Norm had done captures it pretty perfectly. What exactly IS happening in between my toes, anyway? It's all slightly loopy innuendo, ecstatic, sexy and borderline disgusting — and this video pretty much takes that vibe and runs with it.

Anyway, this song basically singlehandedly made my day. Hope some of you enjoy it too.
