Outer Space

The 3Ds

Synopsis

Nearly two decades before Mighty Boosh comes this loopy confection. With its famous line "I left my face, in outer space" you know this if going to be one trippy song - and the wild and spacey video is totally in keeping with the track. There’s UFO imagery and all sorts of other mad things thrown in, including a dinosaur skeleton and a vacuum cleaner played like a guitar. And it must be one of the few music videos to feature a band member wearing a peggy squares crochet poncho. The clip won Best Music Video at the 1993 NZ Music Awards.
