Phineas Gage (LEGO Stop-Motion Music Video) [Text on screen “Phineas Gage, The American Crowbar Case”] [MUSIC PLAYS] [As the song plays, stop-motion animation of LEGO figurines act out the words of the song] [SINGING]He was working on the railroad 25 years old and such a nice young man He was blasting through some deep stone His job was to cut through the Vermont granite He used the heavy iron tamping bar to pack down the hold and blow the stone apart But chance set the dynamite alight it went Through his brain and out the other side The bar went right behind his eye Through his frontal lobe those neurons were surprised, He passed out but soon he came to He was ok, he spoke as the crowd near drew They got him to the doctor in the town Who used his fingers to poke around Inside the mighty hole in the top of his head Amazed to be of the living and not the dead Oh, then he changed! No longer Gage, so profane! A hole, in his mind! No longer Gage, so unkind! He changed into just a different man Filled with seizures and irreverence. Making plans no sooner arranged than abandoned As he falls into a fit. So he moved then, down to Chile Driving stagecoach with a hole in his head But the seizures they still came And drove him to a premature death. So in case you get a hole through your brain You might survive but you will be changed Your skull might end up on display At least that’s how it went for Phineas Gage.
