Ohhhh where do you even begin with Haysi Fantayzee?

Well, actually once you see this picture and hear a couple of songs there really isn’t that much left.

I’m posting the regular version of “Shiny Shiny” because it’s concise and gets the point across. My original plan, though, was to link to the Dance version as well.

The Dance version is unreal — it’s not as much a remix as it is an extension, keeping the song going until you feel like you’ve completely lost your marbles. As a friend said to me some 20 years ago, “it just gets more and more ridiculous, and the sillier it gets the better it is.”

Sadly, I can’t find my copy of the Dance version, it’s not available for download, and I’m not buying the whole CD for it (not quite yet). But if it ever finds me, you’ll be the first person I tell.

Smooches!

Bonus madness: I can’t entirely recommend this video of them doing this song on German TV because their lip-synced performance is so lackluster, but if you do watch it, please promise me you’ll hang on until the 1:15 mark. You won’t be sorry! Or maybe you will.
