I was falling asleep the other night and, all of a sudden, “Fish Heads” popped into my head. Where did it come from? What did it mean? I honestly don’t know, but the thought of this song, and its video, was enough to make me break into a big goofy grin in my half-asleep state. I looked it up in the morning, and discovered that it’s actually a much older song than I thought; it was orginally released in 1979, but I remember it being on MTV all the time in the 80s. Apparently, my memory of that time just can’t be trusted, because I also thought I remembered the part where the guy takes his fish head to the movies very clearly. In reality that bit is much less prominent than I remember. I must’ve thought that taking a fish head to a movie was some funny stuff when I was little.
None of this is as interesting to me as the the fact that the video stars none other than Bill Paxton! Did everyone know this?
Watch the amazing video here, check out Barnes & Barnes site here, or learn more about the duo on their Wikipedia page. And if you need to have the actual song as well (and, really, why wouldn’t you?), download it below.
