Because a squawking chicken woke me up this morning and I’m going to Cibo Matto tonight at the Doug Fir, the duo’s “Know Your Chicken” has been on a perpetual loop from hell in my brain head. So let’s watch Michel Gondry’s awesome palindrome-esque video for their song “Sugar Water” to try to dislodge this pesky ear bug. Shall we?

  1. Don’t forget their infamous appearance on Buffy, which prompted one of Xander’s most awkward lines ever. “Oh hey, did you guys hear that Cibo Matto’s gonna be at the Bronze tonight?”

  2. Oh man! I was coming here just to bring up Buffy. That’s honestly the most cringe worthy Buffy music moment of the entire show.

  3. It’s so cute when they get into bed. But mostly this reminds me of the crazy girlfriend who put this on a mixtape for me and then performed(?) two hours of reiki on my unbalanced chakras.

    One of the Cibo Matto ladies is married to Sean Lennon, who like all Beatles kids hasn’t really done anything of note except look like someone else.
