Video Clip of The Week: Kula Shaker, “Drink Tea (For the Love of God)”

2 Comments

This week we break from tradition a bit by, rather than featuring a new video clip, reaching back into the archives for a clip from Christmas 2007, from the late, great UK band, Kula Shaker. We discovered the fantastic clip, “Drink Tea (For the Love of God)” while effing around with friends on You Tube at 3 O’clock in the morning a few Saturdays ago. This anthemic song brings a pro-brewed tea drinking message to Monty Python-esque animation, and Kula Shaker’s signature psychedelic rock feel. Enjoy! And have some tea!

This little pink cutie is Kurage-Bo (translation: Jellyfish Boy), a main character in visual artist Takashi Murakmi’s directorial film debut, Jellyfish Eyes. The film mixes live action with cartoon animation and Kurage-Bo is one of the lead animated heroes of the film, which I saw at a screening a few weeks ago.
