Last year Hoku Uchiyama and Adam Bolt were responsible for an extraordinary feat of animation, involving drawings on steamed-up windows, for Evelyn Evelyn's Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn. Now they're back with a video for Brooklyn brain-pop stalwarts They Might Be Giants featuring something else you've never seen before - singing mince.Not only that - dancing vegetables and mixing bowls on vocals too. Hoku and Adam's video for You're On Fire involves a young lady's preparations for dinner for two... while a pack of minced beef (or possibly lamb) takes the part of TMGB's John Linnell, singing about a girl who is, not just hot, or steaming, but actually on fire (due to combustible hair). This was pretty much all done by puppeteering the food, as Hoku explains below - some of which, like the brocolli and carrots, was perfectly genuine and edible. And you may need to eat after watching this.
