BUTTER 08 - Butter of 69

Butter 08 was a short-lived musical side project whose members consisted of Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto, Russell Simins of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Rick Lee of Skeleton Key and director Mike Mills. The band released just one album, the self-titled "Butter 08" in 1996 on the Beastie Boys' now defunct Grand Royal record label. The album features guest performances by future Cibo Matto members Timo Ellis and Sean Lennon as well as a performance by filmmaker Evan Bernard who directed music videos for several Grand Royal artists as well as for Cibo Matto and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
In addition to their one album, a remix of their song "Degobrah" appears on the soundtrack for "City of Industry", a 1996 film featuring Harvey Keitel.
The band was allegedly formed when the members spent an evening recording the 1995 Cibo Matto single "Know Your Chicken" together. A demo was then sent to Mike D, who immediately signed Butter 08 to Grand Royal Records - taken from Wikipedia

Weird Sesame Street short...

This is almost creepy...until you notice how influenced it is by Paul Dressen, who helped set the animation style in the Yellow Submarine Film some few years earlier. What's that big 'morphy-type' guy's name anyway?

Now that you're nice and mellow...

...here's Ethel Smith and some of her gal pals! Don't ask where they're hiding the brass section. She's playing Tico Tico! Notice how some of them aren't even tapping their feet.

Fantastic!

You Gotta Get Hot To Play Real Cool

The Three Little Bops - Friz Freleng
What makes this great is the attention to detail of all the cycled animation. My favorite bit will always be the dancing crowd. Just iconic 50's style and design with minimal movement...and funny!

'Thriller' was first...

What To Do With All Your Prison Time...part two

A very impressive feat to undertake at any level, this syncro-dancing of the late Laura Branigan's 80's hit gets the prize.

Everly ever after...

'Bird Dog' and 'Till I Kissed Ya' , both songs represent how strongly rehearsed and polished the brothers were at their peak.
A finely tuned duo. Try to follow Phil's vocal on Bird Dog as he easily slides from main vocal to deep talking 'call and response' style vocal with spit second precision.
