Carnival of Fools (SLYT) Louie Zong found a thrift store album of musical clocks, and animated one fool for each little tooty-tooty tune.

These should definitely be packaged up as ring tones & alarms

It's like tripping through a fun house 78 RPM.

I love this. Am I the only one who mentally put these little guys in the automata of a musical cuckoo clock?

Anybody know where I can get the actual album?

According to Louie Zong on twitter, it's this album. All the sellers on that site at the moment seem to be UK based though.

Ebay has at least one copy in the US for $12! If anyone buys it, please digitize it and share the files!

I don't even have a turntable :(

Absolutely love this, but the fool at 0:58 and its soundtrack made me ascared.
