I made up for taking so long to buy the “Yoshimi” album by springing for the two-disc CD+DVD version. For a couple of bucks more, I got a CD that I could rip to my iPod, and a DVD with a bunch of a/v extras — extra tracks, videos from the album, and vignettes.
Among the video tracks are two of the videos are for “Do You Realize?”. One is the original version, shot in a field and featuring Wayne and a bunch of the hippest girls in Oklahoma, and the other is the big-budget remake shot on Fremont Street in Las Vegas with Wayne, an elephant, and four lingerie models.
I know it didn’t happen like this for the Lips, but I think there would be an entertaining VH1 show in this concept: artist self-produces low-budget video, famous video director remakes the concept with a conventional network-TV budget.
