Sam: Let’s bring it back to something else. After In Praise of Pip, my second favorite thing you did is Fish Heads.

Bill: (Laughs) Well there’s quite a few years in between.

Sam: I understand that, but when I was a kid, before YouTube, the Fish Heads video was legendary. It was a rare occurrence if they showed it on MTV. Even to get a recording of that song was gold.

Bill: Fish Heads has been very good to Barnes and Barnes. We continue to make a surprising amount of money from that song, which is of course over thirty years old. Rolling Stone named it number fifty-seven of the one hundred videos of all time. It was guerilla novelty film making, and rock, and the right people put together to do that.
