In 1992, American country megastar Tammy Wynette lent her vocals to a hit electronic dance track by the Discordian-infused lunatics of The KLF. She applies her complete and most sincere talent to lines like “They're justified, and they're ancient, and they drive an ice cream van”, and she also stars in its amazing video, which I'm not sure I saw before today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5oHL3zBDg

I love the silent text crawls about all of Tammy Wynette's accomplishments and awards, which you notice on your third or fourth watch of this video. It's as if the video itself is as confused as anyone why Tammy’s even there, and fearing that she might wise up and leave at any moment has just grabbed her press packet off the table and is reading aloud from it in a panic.

@jmac what's your take on the horned red velvet creature(?) poking out off a box near the end. Is it some discordian mascot?

@msokolov I’m pretty sure that’s the two KLF guys in costume. You see quick shots of them playing guitar throughout the video in those horned red robes.

And if you look closely you see that the box is a submarine off to Muu-Muu Land even though the lyrics and sound effects are all about trains because sure why not.

@jmac perhaps a nod to the Beast of Monsieur Racine? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1288455/mediaviewer/rm4026489856/?ref_=tt_ov_i Even if not, I can't resist bringing Tomi Ungerer into any conversation where there is even a remote connection. Another great trickster (banned by the NYPL!)
