[this is the song-only edit of The Prefab Messiahs cartoon "Desperately Happy"]
Animator Xeth Feinberg (Queer Duck, Bulbo, Papü) revisits the misadventures of his early-80s band The Prefab Messiahs. This 3+ minute cartoon/music-video is set in 1982, in a fictionalized "Wurmtown" (aka Wormtown aka Worcester MA). The 1960s Beatles cartoon series is an obvious touchstone.
Cameo appearances include those by Bobb Trimble (at 0:12), Captain PJ (at the end), and Oscar the Squirrel (throughout). This will be the first in a series, we hope!

it was 1983, 'the dawn of the video age!' - that's our excuse, and we're sticking with it... but battling Satan was never so much fun. (dir.
