Buzzworthy Obsession: Black Keys, 'Tighten Up' Video

The Black Keys have been on a roll, people. As you may be aware, the duo's new album, Brothers, is a stellar distillation of their superfried-blues powers. They also blew our minds a couple of weeks ago with a video of a toy dinosaur macking on bikini-clad gals for their song "Next Girl."

Now comes the equally awesome clip for "Tighten Up." It starts with singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach walking his son to a playground to hang out with drummer Patrick Carney and his son. The kids resemble their dads in uncanny ways and seem to get along, despite Auerbach's progeny complaining that junior Carney "smells like ranch dressing."

Things get good when the little tykes start performing the Black Keys' jaunty, slithering song -- expertly lip-synching the lovelorn vocals. Not that you need to be told, but there's nothing better than kids pretending to sing Black Keys songs in music videos. Except maybe when kids beat up the Black Keys in music videos (this also happens).

Check out the video below, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. Brothers is out now.
