Heads Will Roll

I'm loving this video from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It could veer into gore, but the red confetti keeps it pretty. They must be on a Michael Jackson kick or something because Zero featured the obvious glove and jacket references, while this one has the outfit complete with exposed socks and black loafers...Definite 80s vibe going in both video and song. I love that kind of intertextuality.

What other references can you pick out? I'd love to know - yes, I'm that much of a nerd!


Directed by Richard Adoaye, this video reminds me why I like music videos.




*Unfortunately, Universal Music Group disabled embedding on theirs, so I had to go with a censored version.
