soupé opera

stop motion + vegetables + ridiculous opera singing = win

when i was a kid, the abc had a short show called soupé opera.

i just looked it up. took me a while to find it cos i had no idea what it was called and there weren't any words or characters in it. but the winning tag in the google search was opera singing.

i recommend youtubing it if you haven't seen it.

it's really cool and funny.

every episode starts with vegetables in a basket.

you hear a lady singing soupé opera in operatic tones in a middle to high register. so not too high a sound.

then a 4/4 electronic beat is played with rhythmic tribal sounding grunts. and the vegetables started moving, dancing if you will and creating an animal.

this animal would then move around doing cool stuff

and after that, a new basket of vegetables appeared and the process started again.

this repetition happened two times, so including the first, it happened three times.

every time, the opera lady would sing soupé opera at a higher pitch.

i remember thinking the fat lady would explode if she kept going and had heaps of fun trying to act it out. kids are great.

oh oh oh, and after this would be gogs. that really terrible claymation show set in prehistoric times with all the feral cavemen. the theme song was the baby crying. i remember that my ear drums would be ringing after these two songs in succession.
