Anyone remember an animated short, scripted around Belafonte's Day O

It was two beatnicks, I guess... and one kept trying to play the song, but kept getting interrupted by the other guy? This was about 28 years ago I guess. Or maybe more. Around that, anyway. I think I saw it on a program that just showed animated clips on PBS, it aired late at night.

I wish I could find it online. I can still hear one of the lines... "I come troo da window"

1. I was only drunk at the time

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."

:shrug: :hi:

3. Dead

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist growing
The water flowing
The endless river

:hi:
