THIS HERE IS THE WHOLE PACKAGE

Good golly Miss Molly, look at that sleeve. Out there a little bit, eh? If you don't know the Mighty Hannibal, what would you be your guess? What type of music would this sleeve contain? What's the story with this cat? I'm still trying to figure it out, because nothing I've read or heard about him (yet) really quite pegs the source of the Mighty Hannibal's mighty weirdness, never mind his incredible talent. It's a very cool combination going on here.

The video above is one understated oddball piece of work. John Waters, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino,...hell, probably even Walt Disney and Russ Meyer; they all wish they could do something this subtlety off. I don't even care about the questionable outfit or some of the more sissy dance moves that slip in. The Mighty Hannibal makes some irresistible music, and, whether you're in the kitchen or bathroom, it's time to get down.

About the selections: Pickin's are slim online, so I'm posting what I could find. (Regardless, I recommend the excellent compilation on Norton Records.) "Hymn N. 5" is a gospel-ish anti war song, written during the Vietnam era. Aquarium Drunkard posted it, but doesn't like outside linking. You should go there to get it while it's still there. The very funky "Get In the Groove," is a killer. Hell, just listen to the music below, watch the video, and then try going back to your unweird life.
