Well, he isn’t wearing a tutu, but he is wearing that Stuart Smalley sweater. He also calls himself Dancing Butterflies.
Not Butterfly, not Dancing Big-Ass Moth with a Rakish Toupee, but Butterflies. I suspect he uses the royal We when speaking about himself.
All I can be sure of is that this situation required serious meds. Since it’s been 3 years, it’s probably far too late to save him from total, crippling social humiliation.

I want my 10 minutes back…
(what? it wasn’t 10 minutes? sure felt like it….)
August 1st, 2005 at 4:13 pm
Oh god, that was a real shocker. People who wanna save the world need to be cool, like the guy who writes the dreamhost newsletter knows how to get me suckered into reading a bunch of virtually useless stuff - if only he used his power for good. There’s one thing that these 2 strange entities have in common… (i mean the dreamhost guy and the seriously uncool guy in the flick) they know how to degrade themselves for the greater good of us. The world would be a lot less colourful without them!! Go the dreamhost blog! ROCK ON LEDGENDS!

That’s a real shame.
btw, did you guys create that little player or is there somewhere a commentator can download it?
August 1st, 2005 at 4:37 pm
I didn’t think I was gonna make it till the end, but I stuck it out. Holy smokes, was that tough.
I don’t often pick up hitchhikers but I’ll try to remember that under no circumstances should I ever accept a CD.
August 1st, 2005 at 4:53 pm
Tavis made that little player himself, in flash!
Note the confusing “mute” button. (It shows what clicking it WILL DO, rather than what it’s currently set at!)

This song will surely hit number 1, I want the lyrics so I can learn it, a classic :)

It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the dancing.
August 1st, 2005 at 5:26 pm
um…yeah. that sucked. makes me want to destroy our environment (ok, not really, but if anything i don’t want my care of the environment to be associated with that).

scary fella…. but come to think of it…. what really scares me is when I try to figure out what made tavis post such a thing… I’m sure there are enough weirdo sites trying to make a living off freak videos.. not really sure dreamhost’s blog is one of them.. or is it?

August 2nd, 2005 at 1:11 pm
I can’t think of any way I could degrade myself more than creating a CD of myself singing (uh, off-key) with strange lyrics, a funny shirt, rug, and I guess that was butterfly dancing? That was horrific and I too want my 10 minutes back. But, on the other hand I did get a few chuckles out of the comments.
August 2nd, 2005 at 1:13 pm
You know what? My day has sucked so bad that this made me laugh out loud. Too bad I can’t get that melody out of my head now… but reading the comments made me chuckle. Thanks for the daysaver.

I laughed so hard at that I nearly peed myself. Well, it made me feel better after listening to that recording of me singing in the shower.
What a loon. Nevermind my environment, my sanity has just been violated. One day I’m going to end up like him. Oh no. Nono. No. No. NO!

August 4th, 2005 at 12:23 pm
My first question is why? Why would you make such a god awful video and then distribute it? This guys dance moves remind me of those 40 something guys who frequent 18+ dance clubs, and try to act all talented with their freakishly disturbing moves. It’s like he’s saying “Hey, look at me, I’m 42, and make enough money to buy an Argyle sweater. I have a corvette out back, which compensates for my balding head and small genitalia. By the way, Let’s Sa-A-ave our Envirooooment!!” This guy needs to take a 10 foot walk off a 5 foot plank. And that’s after someone cuts out his voicebox and sends it back to the hellish fiery pit that it came from.

Boring - Tiny Tim was more original (and that’s not saying much). Personally, can’t find much humor in the sarcasm either (whether it was actually intended or not, it appears that way by its context on this site).The environment is being flushed down the tubes worldwide due to ignorance and/or selfishness. Perhaps we can look forward to hearing a whimsical ditty about the war in Iraq and other atrocities… Sorry guys, too easy.

a song that contains both “free like a good vibe” AND “cancer” is a sure winner in my book. How he hand-gestures to the lyrics, then lays back in the shade, a facila close-up, eyeshadow, and him rolling for a moment in bliss, well, well— how bizarre, indeed.
August 5th, 2005 at 10:56 pm

My Co-Worker, GrimTimTim, thought that it would be a KICK to combine this track with this EQUALLY bad song.
I would almost consider paying $2 to the first person (but only the first person) to do so, if they did a good job.
I mean… it’s BAD, but pretty hilarious when paired with the EQUALLY HORRIFIC song.

It took some ingenuity to produce this piece of “what-ever-you-like-to-call-it”. Funny to see the comments, but are people aware that US governement have failed to sign the Tokoy agreement on reducing carbodioxid polution. A US citizen consume more energy than any one in the World and release twice as much carbodioxid polution than number two on the list. It is time that USA became aware that they actually share this planet with others before we suffocate.

The first comment way up at the top mentioned that this required serious meds. But he didn’t say if they were for the guy in the film or for the innocents watching this.
All this guy needs to perfect his ‘art’ is to learn how to spin around 360 (or even 180) while his toupee remains motionless. That would rock!

On the positive side, Democrats have their 2008 Nominee ready to go–forget the Primaries hassle. On the other hand Avoid Hitchhikers; Avoid Topanga Canyon; Stay the heck away from California; And if someone hands you a CD you need to ask WHY??

Oh man, he posted a phone number at the end of it. Has anybody talked to him?

August 17th, 2005 at 4:05 pm
Yes, this guy is strange…but he’s got more going for him than the majority of you. Take it eaaaasy on the nasties and grow up. It’s always a good day to monkey around and, if that guy is anything like myself, I think it was hil-flippin-larious.
best of luck to all those who choose to compete…I look forward to seeing all the variations.
August 17th, 2005 at 10:28 pm
In all honesty, watching this video is probably about as close as you can legally come to experiencing the effects of LSD without actually taking any actual drugs.
That was … beyond … disturbing.
Got any others? :-)

Hey, does anyone have the lyrics for this song? X)
August 18th, 2005 at 11:39 am
I’m (dry heave) speechless.
It took 45 minutes for the involuntary twitch to subside after watching this video, although the uncontrollable, bloodcurdling screams still occur at regular intervals.
August 18th, 2005 at 12:10 pm
He’s got the bold, semi-incognito, I-boycott-reality look…the bug swatting moves are simply smashing…and that purple-haze tiki background music just tugs at the soul. Definitely the new front video for the green movement.
August 18th, 2005 at 2:35 pm
thats an insult to tree huggers everywhere im ashamed just being affiliated with him even if in so small a way…i think ill go kill my self now…or better yet…wheres he live?

Yikes!

hahahahaha i have to admit that was really funny but although this guy is making the biggest fool out of himself.. he has some good ideas,like there are so many marijuana plants behind him.. you cant blame the guy hes high off his ass and having a great time. He also doesnt seem like he cares what people think about him so he has a ton of self confidence. Plus we gotta save the envornment because thats what we live in. so hes actualy preaty cool

September 14th, 2005 at 1:13 pm
For those of you that want to sing along….. it is stuck in my head!
“start of chorus”
lets save our environment
that we may be free-he
free to enjoy-ho
the beautity above
natures serendipity
our riuvers are full of wealth
ocean transport bring us health
lilies that inviting honey bees to bed
the satisfing wants, answers ,, and the one fighting cancer
lets, lets odify our creed add non-pollution to our creed
“chorus”
Gliding with playful dolphins
and inter-respectable world of …
varied and vibrant colorvast
are new englads foorest..
our air, water, and sea spray
have become so fowl “guitar solo begins”
we cannot have what was once free
FREE LIKE A GOOD VIBE
“chorus”
couldn’t we prefer a propriety
less violence now in our society
where our own wiii-iives confort ourselfs in our crimes
it’s destroying - beauty is life
work a third wing to impress your wife
whate kind of life is our greatness
when we think kindness is a weakness
“chorus”
