It's a mild surprise to see "Fish Heads" listed as a short film, but I suppose it is.

The song is odd, as is the film.  Most people watch it for the first time with their mouth open.  I think this is the highest recommendation possible for a music video (surpassed possibly only by The Residents' "Hello Skinny.")

This short film is available on the Barnes & Barnes music video compilation, "Voobaha" (or something like that.)  Their other videos aren't as startling as "Fish Heads" but they are a lot of fun.
