A karaoke adaptation of Paul Simon's, Sound of Silence.

Sung to Turner prize winner, Grenville Davey the song explains Cack-U-Like's seminal performance work, such as Demonstration Against Toffs in Art.

Cack-U-Like formed in 2001 in London. Their work challenges the inherent elitism within art by performance and video pieces such as Demonstration Against Toffs in Art and the Sound and Grenville. Since 2002 their work has focussed on the static deathlike state of the art world- shown in works such as Haunted Tate and 2005ad.
