Scatterbrain - Down with the Ship

Continuing on with music that doesn't take itself seriously, behind the cut ~ because of a scantily clad image having been selected to represent the video ~ is Down with the Ship (Slight Return) from 1990's Here Comes Trouble (also available as an import here, and, at the moment, it's actually cheaper for a new copy than a used... go figure!).

Although molded with some thrash metal sensibilities and a bit of pure zaniness, fans of classic rock might find some parts of this (i.e. the verses) familiar...

The visuals are also all over the place, although the concept (record company does video without the band) has been done before (by Deep Purple, in their Call of the Wild clip from 1987), but this time it's even more over the top silly, because the parts of many of the non-band members here are played by the band members. Often in drag.

Includes indians, vikings, housewives, nuns, a chicken, cheesecake, beefcake, and the Woody Woodpecker theme.
