If you love Art Brut, you have to love this video

And this is funny why, exactly?

Best video I've seen in a long time. Giggled through the whole thing. Can't wait to see them at the Highline.

Everything about that video was awful.

Art Brut are such characters on stage that seeing them dressed like that is enough.

I'm pretty sure it's spoofing the BBC production tv series of I, Claudius(GREAT show). The Caligula dance scene is hilarious! Anyone else here born before 1980?

I don't understand why anyone would want to watch that.

It might be fun to do it if you were drunk, but it escapes me why it might be fun to watch it.

It might be fun to do make that video if you were drunk, but it escapes me why it might be fun to watch it after you sobered up.
Posted by SaltnPepper | June 28, 2007 6:58 PM
Yeah, it's spoofing "I, Claudius" -- it's no worse than any other video, what do people expect?

i liked this video until the last few seconds... i hate it when directors pull back and show the set around the video, and pull you out of the fantasy world and into... a boring stupid film set??? then what's the point of shooting the video with elaborate costumes and depicting a far off time?
still like art brut. still super live.

Great video for a great song.
you guys who rail on it need to loosen up a little.
It's a fucking video!
What do you want?
It's funny, thoughtful enough and the song rocks.

Wow, that's what passes as video of the year these days? Very uninspired concept and a lazy execution.

Yeah, I'm pre-1980, but I totally don't get this. And I love Art Brut. Woe is me.
