New Video: The Virgins, 'Private Affair'

Despite a wholesome-enough-sounding name like the Virgins (you've heard them on Gossip Girl -- OMFG! -- about a zillion times), I wouldn't exactly want to watch their "Private Affair" video with my grandma.

The video, which has nothing to do with Jessica Simpson's "Public Affair," (and happy birthday, by the way!) combines elements of:

+ Snoop's "Sensual Seduction" -- that gritty, grainy effect that can only come from taping something on TV straight to a used VHS, if you can remember back that far...

+ ... With the Teenagers' "Love No" video...

+ ... With the fake '80s cable access-ness of Gnarls Barkley's clip, "Run."

Plus: Stroke-a-like guitars; Pet Shop Boys-esque chorus; microphones as male anatomy presented in ways far too blatant to be considered innuendo; yoga performed in ways yoga was not intended; and almost as much ass jiggle as Kanye's "Flashing Lights" video.

Also, lead singer Donald Cumming (a most unvirginal name) reads like a mad scientist-manufactured hybrid of Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta and Deerhunter/ Atlas Sound's Bradford Cox. Also, I need a shower.
