In all the talk this has rightly generated, I don't think I've seen any praise for "long-necked giraffes, pet cats and dogs!" yet. People are fuckin' sleeping on the miraculous nature of giraffe necks.
The video also proves that Shaggy 2 Dope is by far the better actor of the two, or at least is a lot more sincere about the eyelid-shockin' shit going on around us. Look at the expression on his face right after "...cats and dogs!" It really bothers him that people don't see what he sees when he sees them. And the face his story tells when he's askin' about magnets, the pleading in his eyes? Violent J seems like he could have a solid career as a host, maybe if they made an updated version of Jackie Gleason's "You're In The Picture" (suggested title: "You're In the Fuckin' Picture"), but he was outclassed in this one. He does get points for "Water, fire, air and dirt." It seems telling that ICP identifies the fourth element as dirt and not, say, earth.
I hope all the ICP spaceship stuff at the end is signalling a new, Out of the Blue-era ELO direction for them next. The instrumental turn at the end of Miracles does kinda have a "The Whale" vibe going.
