Sorry, I just scared myself by thinking that there might be people on PE who somehow haven't seen Manakin. That can't be allowed.
What I want to know is did that guy start every song with the mannequin schtick?

It's okay if you're a fan, Jed!
I think it's safe to say that everyone who has seen Manakin is a fan.
I'd rather be Rick-rolled than see this video again.

That's a throwback to PE v2!!Originally Posted by timmy
I love that garment he's wearing.
Always a fascinating read -thanks!
Another Manakin vid
My joy is boundless. Manakin, while from the past, staggeringly captures our future. There is hope, my friends. Bask in the glory here. ::: crying ::: Bask...
Sleeping at home is killing the hotel business!
I wonder if they ever did a cover of "Wind Up Working In A Gas Station"?
Hmm, not sure I can get into a Manakin song without the mask and the mannequin dancing. That dude is wearing one big-ass keyboard around his neck though.
I... I just ... can't look away from that video.

The telethon one? I know, it's like amazing dashcam footage or something. My favorite part is watching him remove the mask when his back is turned. Progstagecraft.
“dad … what is prog?”
The very same. I've posted it to a few FB friends walls as well, with the caption "You gotta check these guys out, this frontman is amazing!"I await their profanity-laced responses.

It would be funny to add a false caption to the video -ProgDay 2016.The very same. I've posted it to a few FB friends walls as well, with the caption "You gotta check these guys out, this frontman is amazing!"
Okay, that gave me an honest to goodness LOL!

I thought, when I saw a Manakin telethon video some years back, that the singer was carried on stage as a mannequin before he "came to life". Does this exist or am I mis-remembering?
That *IS* mentioned in the essay someone posted a link for. I'd love to see that. I think they should start every song with that or the mask schtick. Not just every show, every song!
Castle Bravo with members of Berlin and the Psychedelic Furs and the singer of Manakin
Reminds me of the Novalis bit in “Vielleicht bist du ein Clown” where Fred Mühlböck would fall down into a chair during the instrumental break, then re-emerge singing in the audience. Does anyone have video of that?
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
I had to watch the original video once more. At the end, it looks like Richard Dawson is thinking to himself momentarily "what the hell was that?"

If I cranked on my imaginary energy ball like that in public...I'd probably get arrested.All kidding aside, that song is actually pretty good in a Styx on acid kind of way.
"And if Warhol's a genius, what am I? A speck of lint on the penis of an alien?"
LOL! Only that guy could pull it off.If I cranked on my imaginary energy ball like that in public...I'd probably get arrested.
