I saw this video (below) and I just had to ask WTF? Did this come from the Earth? Or another planet? I had to look up this family to find out more about them. They reminded me of a cross between geeky German tourists, yodeling Swiss family and a Mormon spin-off cult. The singer is like a Hansen brother who is channeling James Brown. Yeah, that's what I said! I wasn't sure what was happening, but it scared to me so much, it seemed like it needed to be on my blog where I feature horror and sometimes Mind Fucks, so here's your Mind Fuck Friday--
Here's what Wikipedia says: The Kelly Family is an Irish-American-European music group consisting of a multi-generational family, who play a repertoire of rock, pop and folk music. They have had chart and concert success in Europe and other parts of the world, especially in Germany, the Benelux countries, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Spain and Portugal. They have sold over 20 million albums since the early 1980s.
For many years, the group presented a gypsy image and a vagabonding lifestyle, traveling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. In recent years, they have presented a more mainstream look.
This song is going to get stuck in your head. I'm not kidding. It's an insane ear worm!
