I don't understand, but even though I don't understand I still like it. This vid is a perfect slice of surreal comedy/gore.

Never, ever, ever, EVER would have guessed the theme from f**king JAWS would fit this film so perfectly. The musicality is spot-on and the vid somehow becomes *creepier* during the, ah, "Boy's Own Adventure" music starting at 1:14. Thank you SO MUCH.

OMG, LOL. This was hilarious and horrifying. You had me at the summary line, and kept me through all the clever music/clip match-ups.

Ahahahahaa, GREAT job matching the amazingness of this source to this music. Every clip I had a moment of, "Oh, right, that ALSO happened." Terrific job!

LMAO I love that summary line. What a bonkers time period the 70's were. Amazing! Great blend of music with source. That freakin cat!

Watching again and something I love is right at the beginning, the cat's mouth grows on the "duh-duh". It serves as a signal, both to what kind of vid this will be and to letting the uninitiated know that they haven't a clue what they're in for. I love all the flashing lights on the "duh-duhs", especially as they pick up the pace. The choices you made here in terms of ramping up the tension and the WTF-ery are inspired.

Also I am delighted by the cat walking in sync with the horns at 0:30.

This was inspired, and beautifully edited. That opening sequence -- not just the credits, but the whole first thirty seconds or so of rising tension -- is a wonder. I keep going back to admire it some more.

This works amazingly well! Awesome job.
