Okay, so there’s a total of maybe five seconds of actual b-boying in this. But what’s most striking to me is how seamlessly the dancing fits in with the rest of the video despite the fact that it’s not a conventional dance or hip-hop track.
In an age where most music videos use a quick powermove or freeze here or there as quick gimmicky eye candy, director Keith Schofield floods this video with every possible absurdity possible. And it works — or, at least, I think it does. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it also features Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, two of the coolest people ever. What do you think?

Lame.
Miley Cyrus in daisy dukes makes me feel all squirmy.
i guess this video is trying to portray non-normative behavior.
- getting chased by a twirlling ax
- jumping on one’s hands
- …pancake head…
