When most people think of novelty music, they think of “Weird Al” Yankovic; I’m mainly lookin’ at you, fellow elder-Gen Z types. I, too, was a member of the cohort of middle schoolers that learned the lyrics to “White and Nerdy” before Chamillionare’s “Ridin’.” But where most kids were satisfied with listening to Mr. Yankovic’s greatest hits, I required more of myself. What followed after first discovering Weird Al was a deep dive into the world of comedy music. Intoxicated by her thorough knowledge of the comedy stylings of the likes of Victor Borge and Tom Lehrer, thirteen-year-old me carried herself with all the elitism of an r/LetsTalkMusic moderator (and none of the street cred). A few years later, I came across the Sub Pop-signed comedy duo Flight of the Conchords and their eponymous 2008 album;
Under the Skin (scored by Micachu), and other movies streaming now (that Daughn Gibson loved in 2014)
finally watched Jonathan Glazer s
Under the Skin last night. It stars Scarlett Johansson as an alien who spends her time picking up men in Scotland, bringing them back to her place and. well, you should just watch it. You can stream it for free on Amazon if you have Amazon Prime.
Based on Michel Faber s novel of the same name, the film is directed and co-written by
Jonathan Glazer who made
Radiohead s Karma Police and
UNKLE s Rabbit in the Headlights , among others.
Species this is not, owing more to 70s experimentalists and, as you might expect from his CV, Glazer has delivered a gorgeously-shot film that is also thought provoking and unsettling. ScarJo even does a credible London accent. I already want to see it again.
