The Simple Song (1980)

Overview

When The Commercial Album was released in 1980, Phonogram and Celluloid Records financed the production of four One Minute Movies with which to promote the album in Europe. The Residents hired their long-time collaborator Graeme Whifler to direct short clips for “Moisture” and “The Simple Song”, and directed another two themselves, “The Act of Being Polite” and “Perfect Love”.
