At 40 minutes, the shortest film in the cycle; though it is methodically paced, the colorful, confectionary visuals of its Busby Berkeley-style, football stadium-based musical revue move it along quickly enough.

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite literal ways, also retains those very qualities in my memory.

Makes no sense but looks very intriguing with its repetitive shapes and colours.

Do you consider David Lynch to be terribly pedestrian and excessively beholden to the linear narrative? This could be right up your alley.
