I like this even more than the others.

It's taking a step towards something that's kind of sad.

i have a feeling all these kids are pro dancers and Eric totally denied them the opportunity to show off their fresh skills. way to go, Eric. keep the youth down!

i love you.

This video really intrigues me.

Eric - I think your view of the youth today is portrayed perfectly here. Where kids today, like never before, have this desire to be famous as soon as possible. But at the same time the underlying truth that fame doesn't bring happiness is told all over their faces in this video.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great job! Are they gonna let you post your music video for Flying Lotus again or is that permanently banned?
John O'Brien 3 years ago

Yeah, I would have said "Awesome, MGMT!" or "Awesome, an Eric Wareheim video", but you've put both together, and that's amazing. Thanks, Eric! You rock!

Ray Anderson 3 years ago

That is just so damned good--sheer magic to tell that story so perceptively from the perspective of the kids.

This music video prompted me to buy this whole album (which I may say is superb).

P.S. Those kids are really cool.

some beautiful depth of field on here. also friggin hilarious.
Julio Grumbles 2 years ago

Uhm I'm confused. Why is he making awful music videos for awful 80's music again?
Julio Grumbles 2 years ago

There's nothing outrageous about this. Outrageousness is the only thing that keeps this kind of shit funny. Maybe if all the children were killed in the end. Then MAYBE I'd give it a thumbs up. and C'mon, "depth in the field," what are you, high?
