Yesterday we admired the creepy interrogation scenes of Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" and the manic, tracking shots and jumpy editing of Vampire Weekend's "Cousins." Now, we continue the countdown of my favorite Buzzworthy music video with this cabaret scene from a galaxy far, far away. The next clip on my list of Buzzworthy's Top Videos of 2009 countdown is...
+ Number 3: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Heads Will Roll"
In this RIchard Ayoade-directed clip (taken from The YYY's It's A Blitz album), Karen O. and her boys are playing a dinner theater that's one part Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" video, one part David Lynch film and one part budget-Werewolf schlock flick.
However, you'll be hard-pressed to pay attention to anything other than Karen O.'s insane bubble-wrap-butterfly-wings and her minimal, hip-shaking dance moves as she commands this lush, disco-rock anthem from the stage.
Consummate MTV music fans obsessively covering pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from MTV headquarters in New York. Plus, trends, LOLs and stuff we love.
