‘Shut the fuck up’ part III (Blue) by General Idea.

General Idea was a collective of three artists, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, that existed from 1969 – 1994. General Idea’s work inhabited and subverted forms of popular and media culture, including beauty pageants, boutiques, television talk shows, trade fair pavilions and mass media. From 1987 through 1994 their work addressed the AIDS crisis. Both Zontal and Partz died of AIDS in 1994.
