I handn't bought the Greendale record or heard any of it yet, nor seen the live stage show, but I did just see the movie this evening with Scot and some of his cool friends. Everyone noticed how literally the images tracked the lyrics - and the lipsyncing was better than Britney's. I could easily see Mike Watt filming Contemplating the Engine Room using essentially the same technique.
Weird coincidence: the Acts I and II movie theatre in Berkeley has a vintage French language Soylent Green poster on which the movie is called Soleil Vert, which literally means Sun Green, the name of one of Neil Young's protagonists.
