Imagine my delight at discovering this charming, animated fan video of The Shaggs' monotonal, multi-time signatured ode to a missing cat, My Pal Foot Foot.

It's difficult for me to explain why I love The Shaggs as I do. I know their music is horrible, but it's just so delightfully childlike and sweetly good natured that it's completely impossible for me to dislike them. Plus, my daughter loved this song when she was a little girl, so I have fond memories of singing its goofy lyrics along with her.

Many thanks to the Sound Scavengers mailing list for bringing this little lost gem to my attention.
