Whodini Fansite

Want a big of a change from Whodini’s usual romantic, sappy stuff done up in typical hip hop style? Then you might want to try the slightly eclectic and strange Big Mouth.

Released on their album Escape in 1985 (which featured such hits as Five Minutes of Funk, Friends and Freaks Come Out at Night), Big Mouth is a song dedicated to rumors. As with many Whodini songs these rumors are generally of a relationship tinge; however in this case the rumors are played out as a distinctly bad thing (not surprising). The video is strange, too: it changes between the usual scenes of Whodini traveling around and singing and strange interludes wherein a series of clips (usually relating somehow to big mouths) appear on a projector screen.

It’s a strange song on the whole, but fans of Whodini should give it at least one glimpse.
