The production values are the argument. A bed sheet used as a green screen tells the viewer this cost nothing, which in 2018 was the strongest available claim to being genuine.
Mooo!
A novelty song built around the assertion that the singer is a cow and not a cat, filmed at home against a green screen made out of a bed sheet. The record's entry for the deliberately cheap video as a calling card, made by an artist who then went on to have a proper career.

Died in 2019 as a meme and stayed on as a footnote. It is now mostly cited in profiles as the strange thing an established artist did before anyone was paying attention.

Filed from a university flat in 2018, where it was played twice at a party as a joke and once more at three in the morning by somebody who had decided it was actually good.
