Boxy Heap

About this recording:

Phen, the digital avatar and brand spokes-character for PÜP SCÜP™ (pronounced “Poop-Scoop”), sings an original song called “Boxy Heap” in a Latin jazz genre with his 2-D cat-character bandmates, The Furballs. The song pokes fun at various plastic, boxy litter scoops that operate in such a fashion that the scooped pet waste must pass through the device’s trapdoor in order to be collected in the contraption’s plastic waste bag. The products claim to make cleaning a litter box easier because the waste bag is attached to the device. However, as the song points out, such litter scoop devices are ineffective with “clumpy cat pee” and other pet waste that is too large to pass through the trapdoor in order to reach the attached plastic waste bag. The setting is The Litter Scoop Lounge, with a brick wall, wooden floor, barstool and mic for Phen, and his 2-D cat-character bandmates with their instruments. Just below the venue’s neon sign are rotating images of plastic litter scoops that use a trapdoor mechanism, along with images of the PÜP SCÜP™ (pronounced “Poop-Scoop”) product and how it solves such a common problem with household litter box areas.
