Ok, so I was checking out some Boards of Canada on YouTube today and I ran across this interesting fan music video – it’s not the official music video for this song but it’s creepy and really well done.
At least that’s what I can tell. If anybody out there is reading this and knows for sure whether or not this is an official Boards of Canada music video or if it’s a fan video, I’d like to know.
Good stuff eh? The monkey kids are weird as hell.
The most interesting thing about this though, in my opinion, is that the video footage was taken from a public domain educational video about bicycle safety. The video author links to the public domain footage in his description.
I watched that bicycle safety video, titled “One Got Fat: Bicycle Safety (1963)” – and I think that it may qualify as one of the oddest educational videos I’ve ever seen. It’s so weird that it almost seems like it’d be a spoof, but it’s not.
Bizarro stuff huh? Those masks would also work well for bank robberies or death metal stage props.

This is not an official Boards of Canada video. The only official video Boards of Canada had a hand in was the “Dayvan Cowboy” clip.
