Don't Eat The Yellow Snow - FRANK ZAPPA video

This is a Flash animation I made (back in 2001) for the Frank Zappa song Don't Eat The Yellow Snow. *** NEW INFO *** Before anyone goes on about it being an edited version or complaining about my incorrect interpretation of the lyrics or nerds stating that penguins in fact do not live in the Arctic, pleeeease read the following... 1) Firstly, the audio used, was NOT edited by me. It's a 'single version' from Frank's Strictly Commercial CD. So if you're going to be disappointed at anyone, then it's Frank. He created a single version, not me. So drop it. 2) If I had used the original Don't Eat the Yellow Snow from Apostrophe as you insist I should have, then it only would've gone for 2 minutes. The 'single version' is a mixture of Don't Eat The Yellow Snow, Nanook Rubs It and a few seconds of St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast. So drop it. 3) If you knew how long it takes to make an animated piece like this and considering it was my first real attempt at something this scale, you'd know why I chose the 'single version'. 3½ minutes is a lot to animate and even more so 7 years ago, when it was made. If I had to animate the 'full' version, then it probably never would have gotten made. 4) For those smarty pants that continue to enlighten us all on the fact that penguins don't live in the Arctic, then well done, aren't you clever. But the fact that the penguin is playing an electric guitar is fine. Drop it. 5) To all of you that have written positive feedback. Many thanks to you all. I made this for you guys. Here endth my rant...
