     Heh, I had a similar sort of reaction, though oddly enough I saw 
the video before I'd even heard of The Avalanches so only after that 
did I start hearing more of their music.  Gotta hand it to them, they 
used their big Madonna budget well... great absurd fun.  btw, for 
those wondering, their other videos don't come close to comparing to 
this one.  (I mean, they're alright, but they're not of Rumori-style interest.)

     Who has some other suggestions for music videos to songs you 
wouldn't expect, or to Rumori-esque music videos worth a watch?

     If you'll pardon the plug, ECC's "Rocked By Rape" has a good one 
courtesy of Kenny Haner, who surprised us by sending the completed 
video without even asking us first.  It's a grand effort that manages 
to link an appropriate image with just about every one of the 
Ratherisms sampled.  We swiped that style/idea to make a video for "I 
Want A Cookie" which will be going online within a week.  And there's 
others... all at:
