One of my all time favorite ditties is Pete Shelley’s 1981 single "Homosapien." Never did see the video until today. I logged on into some message board, and someone pointed out that Pete Shelley pulls out the Fool card from out his crisp white jacket. The Fool card being from Crowley’s Thoth deck. Interesting. 

So of course I went to YouTube and checked out this video myself:
