It's Fun To Stay At The T-V-O-T-R!

Posted Fri Sep 26, 2008 12:39pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Video Ga Ga

Buzzy Brooklynites TV On The Radio are back with a wonderfully bizarre new video, "Golden Age"...and perhaps not since the golden age of the Village People have I personally witnessed such a fabulous use of exotic costumes, gratuitous rainbow graphics, and dancing police officers.

Prepared to be dazzled (and to do the "YMCA" alphabet-formation disco dance, retooled as "TVOTR") right now:

Of course, as awesome as TVOTR's video is, it's not entirely original. Compare and contrast it to, say, George Michael's self-parodying cop clip for "Outside," here:

Or to the frolicking farm animals in Swedish pop trio Alcazar's cult classic, "Crying At The Discoteque":

Or, of course, to the Village People themselves:

But anyway, kudos to macho men TV On The Radio for being secure enough with their sexuality to make a video like this. You can't stop their music!

not very amusing those 2 videos; TVOTR, and Alcazar, neither new George Michael's, outside, they pretend to be "top", but, they won't.

6. pink is gross -
sad what passes for "music" these days. the doubled vocals are horribly tracked. actually, the whole vocal track is all over the place. sounds like a bad karaoke night. maybe it gets better, I wouldn't know... couldn't make it past 30 seconds.
