Video: Peter, Bjorn and John: “Hey (Shut The Fuck Up Boy)” (tentative title)
| by Mark Jackson on December 15th, 2008 |
Peter, Bjorn and John graced us with Seaside Rock back in September, and although it was sub-par for an "instrumental" effort, this video sparks curiosity for their fifth album, the real deal follow up to Writer's Block.
The setting is a small basement dance party. The DJ spins a few seconds of "Young Folks", then our protagonist spots his victim and the beat drops. The video is super surrealistic -- everyone is wearing masks and the people lack obvious personality. And to me, the surrealistic element makes the song better; it might have been a little corny without it..
p.s. for the first time, a PB&J song is NSFW!
Easter Egg! When the DJ turns on "Young Folks" at the beginning, you might have spotted this.
