I think it's a good video because it has no story and it just shows us having fun, being hams, performing the song. It's the biggest little video we've ever made.
"Christopher "Chris" Ballew" is a member of the alternative rock group The Presidents of the United States of America (band)/The Presidents of the United States of America and performs as a children's artist under the pseudonym Caspar Babypants.
Ballew grew up in Seattle and attended middle and high school at The Bush School, where he met Dave Dederer/David Dederer, with whom he would form The Presidents of the United States of America (band)/The Presidents of the United States of America many years later. In the late 1980s and early 90s Ballew lived in Boston, where he performed as a street musician in a duo called Egg with Phil Franklin (later of Caroliner Rainbow and Sunburned Hand of the Man). Many of Ballew's songs with Egg would become well-known Presidents songs, most notably Naked and Famous, which is performed by Egg as a bonus track on a 2005 reissue of the Presidents' eponymous The Presidents of the United States of America (album)/debut album. While in Boston, Ballew played briefly with Mary Lou Lord, and also with Mark Sandman of Treat Her Right and Morphine (band)/Morphine in a duo called Supergroup (American band)/Supergroup, in which they developed the oddly stringed instruments that would become a staple of both the Presidents' and Morphine's sound.
