Where Is She? is a song by The Residents, recorded in 1984 as soundtrack to the movie 'The Census Taker'
Background[]
The song first appeared in 1984 in the film 'The Census Taker', it is speculated by fans to have been written during the Commercial Album sessions, due to it's length (1 Minute), but recorded during the Census Taker sessions.
It was first released in 1985 on the soundtrack album to The Census Taker, and later that same year, it was performed at the 13th Anniversary Show in Japan, in a mashup with Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers, segueing out of Jailhouse Rock.
The song would continued to be performed all throughout the tour until it's conclusion in 1987.
Using footage from performances of Man's World and Cry For The Fire, The Residents created a short music video for the track, featuring a live recording as soundtrack. This music video was first featured on Twenty Twisted Questions, and is viewable in Freak Show.
The mash-up was re-recorded in 2001 for The Residents' Icky Flix DVD, and performed on the subsequent tour.
