Steve Martin's OnlyMurders song 'Angel in Flip-Flops' has received an official music video
In the show, the song is described by Charles’ stepdaughter Lucy as a big hit in Germany, where it went to No. 83 on the charts but saw its upward momentum thwarted by the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s since been “sampled by, like, 50 rap stars.”
In the animated video, one sequence features rainbows flowing from a faceless woman’s flip-flops as she “pittah pottah’s” across a beach. Charles’ face is later seen etched into a mountainside as a bulldozer catches giant blue droplets and stops “my tear drops,” before the Brazzos star’s animated self breaks a giant yellow guitar pinata and a man with a bird head bangs out a trumpet solo.
Rainbows shooting from women’s mouths and eyes, men with strawberry heads and Charles playing the guitar while inside a tank are among the video’s other colorful highlights.co-creator and showrunner John Hoffman said the idea for the song and video — specifically that “Charles-Haden Savage, at the height of his success with his originalseries, maybe having recorded an album that did really well in Germany — came up in the show’s writers room.
“When we shared this idea with Steve Martin — well, I think it was a day before Steve had a title and a tune making its way through his genius mind and we were more than off and running,” he said. “Steve dove in with Kirker Butler to craft a late 20th Century classic and then, incredibly, along came Paul Shaffer to arrange that classic that is now our ‘Angel InFlip-Flops.
