"Walkie Talkie Man" is a song by New Zealand band Steriogram, released in 2004 on the album Schmack!
Its simple, catchy riff and fast-talking verses contribute to the song's popularity, and it attracted even more attention when it was used as the background music to an advert by Apple for the iPod.
The music video for "Walkie Talkie Man" was directed by Michel Gondry, and features scenes of children working as studio staff and knitting instruments and equipment, and the band is terrorized by a giant hand made of wool which grabs singer Tyson Kennedy and tears him in half, showing that his insides are also made of wool.
The children save him by unraveling the threads that compose the giant and sewing his lower body back in place — but it is sewn backwards and Kennedy ends the video with his legs turned back to the camera, unlike his upper body.
It was also used in an Apple promotional video, introducing the AirPort Express and built in iPod integration with BMW automobiles.
