Reply from Akela Taka: Oh yes, the Kingfishers song/movie clip. It's a clip made for this song, Kingfishers, which I am not even sure is right to translate as Kingfishers, because the song itself has nothing to do with the birds (at least according the words by the song creator himself). But you know, I am a zoologist (with birds as main subject of research), and also a furry/anthro/animal artist, which kind of destined the way the song clip would look like. I'll try to explain what the song AND the movie is about, together with translating the song lyrics, so you can understand it a little bit more (I'll paste this to the page with the clip as well for future reference :)):
Legendary Kingfishers moved in a car with heads hanging down (meaning they were almost asleep)
The one who drove slept only rarely
Nothing was happening
Morning celebration for northern Czech was on radio
The clouds floated above, ice floated down
Legendary Kingfishers moved in a car and they saw a being (creature)
It lied down on the road, rising head
It had knife in it's belly
A little professions of love from Babaj the daemon
And it sang:
What are you going to do when blood is running (squirting) out of your body
What are you going to do when blood is running (squirting) out of your body
What are you going to do when blood is running (squirting) out of your body
Like it is happening to me
Here and now
What are you going to do when blood is running (squirting) out of your body
Very much, without restrain
Legendary Kingfishers stayed by the car and looked down on it (the creature)
And it's face was perfect haven
Nothing was happening
The one who drove fell asleep once again
Morning celebration for northern Czech was on radio
Legendary Kingfishers moved in a car and they saw a being (creature)
It lied down on the road, rising head

What are you going to do when blood is running (squirting) out of your body

The movie clip goes with the lyrics quite well: Kingfishers meet the being, represented here by the stork. The stork gets hit by a car, the car has no driver, as it's a character itself (call it an anthro car, or the Daemon Babaj), and before the bird got killed, it tried to pickup a wrapping of an ice cream called "Ledňáček". Actually, kingfisher in Czech is named exactly like the icecream. Both words have base in "ice", and the word "ledňáček" in exact translation would be something like an "ice creature".
And the dog with "X"es as eyes is a dead dog, which you (and probably even most Czech people unless they are big fans of the music group) can't understand, comes from a very different song by the same artist. And that's it :) |
