From the greatest hits collection. You know it, you love it, it's: Roy Orbison in Cling Film. I know, I know; but if this is even ONE person's first time, I'll feel I've done the right thing. Bonus: The guy is now hosting a SONG about Roy Orbison in Cling Film. Oh my.

  • it's been years since i first visited this site, and i have yet to come to terms with it... so i'm not sure if i can cope with listening to the new song. i think i'll bookmark it for a later, more desperate moment :-D
  • forky, this is surpassing fair! [banana]
  • Wonderful - I think it's the way all traces of life have been ruthlessly excluded from the stolid prose that really makes it work.
  • Very odd - I was just reading this article which mentioned it - I'd never heard of it before. And then its here, too. Now, I am scared. Roy Orbison is everywhere. And in clingfilm. I want off this disgusting internet.
  • You know, in all the times I've seen this, I still can't get a lock on it. Is Ulli a dedicated fetishist, a comic genius, just another nutty german, or all of the above? He seems so earnest, but that could just be part of the schtick. The real wild card is the turtle. Is Jetta a window into Ulli's lonely life or the missing wink to the bewildered audience? Die welt kann nie wissen.
  • I always assumed it was a joke. How could this not be a joke? Read the Christmas story and tell me it's not a joke.
  • I'd recommend a look at the site's main page. Michael Kelly is pretty hilarious all around.
  • duh. I was kidding too of course, right?
  • This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
