Mike Batt's The Hunting of the Snark

If you grew up watching MTV in the 80s, you probably know Mike Batt's "Love Makes You Crazy". (everyone is dressed in checkerboard outfits)

But I'm surprised that Mike Batt's "The Hunting of the Snark" has only 100K views on YouTube in nine years.

I feel like such a failure at having grown up in the 80s. I never knew about either of these. Gah! (On the other hand, I can tell you exactly what it was like watching MTV on a 9" black and white TV. It blew my mind seeing Van Halen and Twisted Sister on a color set. Then again, there wasn't that much difference watching Tom Petty's famous interpretation of Alice in Wonderland.)
