The playful ‘Elephunk in my Soup’ was the result of experimentation by Phil Bowering and Steve Garden during spare studio time. The video was directed by artist William Keddell (now based in Florida) while Chris Barrett was responsible for the cinematography and the Len Lye-influenced animations (some scratched directly onto 16mm film in Lye’s style). Made in the days before a local music video industry had really established itself, it was a finalist in the NZ Music Awards. Phil Bowering is on the couch and, of course, he’s got his wash-hose.

Brilliant! Remembered this one today when looking at the shopping list that included:
.....
1 can evap milk
1 can creamed corn
Felt compelled to add "I can do elephunk"
Got a totally blank look from my significant other who's a few years younger and obviously missed this classic! Oh well, I've got my washhose.
Brilliant.
I've been waiting for a number of years for some kind soul somewhere to post this.
What a hoot.
Off the cuff classic.
Wohooo for wash hose
I remembered this just a few minutes ago while talking to my kids. They watched the video and thought it was "random". They are now bouncing around the house stating that the've 'got their wash hose". Really cool to see this again. Ahh Radio With Pictures!
Exellent remember this on radio with pictures many years ago
