Laughing at REMember

One of the funniest memories I have occurred in the late 90's when I happened across a MuchMusic video parody of REM by the comedic troupe Corky and the Juice Pigs (with Sean Cullen as singer).

You Tube has a different improv version that appeared on MadTv which is also funny and can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEKVJZa_gdE, but the MuchMusic one made me fall off the couch, roll around til I cried...

I've contacted MuchMusic and Sean Cullen (at http://www.seancullen.com/) and asked if either can get me that video.

For the record, the lyrics to it are below:

Hey!
Hey you know here I am
Im here now
Here I am, I'm standing
I'm right here
Here I am, on my legs
I'm standing, standing here
Under me there is a place
And I'm standing on it
Here I am
And I'll be here forever
Unless I move over here

Remember how we dreamed
Remember how we screamed
The vegetables were steamed
The people that we seemed to know there

There I was just a minute ago
But I'm not there now, no
I'm here, here again
But a different here
An eternal here, and eternal now
And Im walking, I'm moving I see you
My eyes are looking I know you're there
Because at the end of my look you're here
I have eyes in my head
And I love you
I look at you, you sometimes see me
If youre looking at me
And if you're not looking, then you dont
But I love you, I love you

Remember how we dreamed
Remember how we screamed
The vegetables were steamed
The people that we seemed to know there

I love you
I'm all alone
I'm here in my house alone
And I think of you
Lying in my bed
I look over out of the window
I see your face
And Im frightened cause I live on the eighth floor
You must be really, really tall
You scare me

Remember how we dreamed
Remember how we screamed
The vegetables were steamed
The people that we seemed to know there

Don't forget
I'll be here
You know where I am
Eyes in my head
Teeth in my mouth
Legs on my body
Hey.
