We always enjoy a good story behind a crazy music video. According to a modern legend Swiss-Japanese electro pop duo TIM & PUMA MIMI received a bizarre e-mail a while ago with a request to score an animation movie. The description was as simple as it was effective.

‘…a crazy lead song required! The movie is about a baker’s apprentice who is obsessed with kneading dough and he meets a woman with BIG LOOOONG TITS…’

The rest is history. The animation turned out to be Ivan’s Need which has been traveling the globe collecting awards at film festivals. It’s slightly weird, to say the least, an odd cartoon journey into the abstract but it’ll put a smile upon your face and the uplifting soundtrack by TIM & PUMA MIMI plays a crucial role here, especially since the Japanese singer performs in her native tongue.

While the full movie is not online yet NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION exclusively presents a ‘best-of’ in the form of the duo’s music video for Dupi Dough which re-edits a series of scenes into a proper music video. If this doesn’t get your week started we don’t know what else could.
