The Widdershins - March Of The Green Men


[1988]
More forgotten VHS gold from my teenage years. This might be the ultimate Rage cult classic. Me and my little sister thought this was the best back in 88/89. It's so funny, so Australian... so excellent.

Green Men might be the greatest Australian short film in history.

He's in his undies, his Reg Grundy's, in his shizenhausen pigsty of a share house, he eats awful slop out of a can, his urine is turning green, his clothes are not too clean, he's desperate, his confidence has been undermined, he's not good enough for you, there's spew - look out cat and dog, VB cans, a George Michael poster, a trip to the milk bar and much much more.

Also contains the greatest verse in all of rock music history:

"Take all my money up to the shop. 
Buy a can of Coke and some Barbecue chips.
I'll get you anything.
Anything you want.
As long as it's under 95 cents."
