Cobra Starship Make The “Guilty Pleasure” Headlines Flow Like Water


So, let’s take some inventory for Cobra Starship’s latest video for “Guilty Pleasure,” which replaces the very cute “home movie” one they made as they continue their quest to crack MTV’s 3 a.m. rotation. Zubaz and Zink-covered noses? Check. The most dejected-looking rollerskate dance that I have ever seen in my life? Check! (FYI, I’ve never seen Starlight Express, so one of its more tragic scenes might beat this. Barely.) A cameo by a DeLorean with a “FLUXED” license plate? Check. Patrick Stump as a perhaps overly cost-conscious manager? Che-eeck! Even if I didn’t like the song as much as I do, this video is like Idolator catnip, people. [YouTube]

    Too embarrassed to mention Cobra Starship’s connection to This is Ivy League??

    Oh man. There’s a reason why they’re one of my favorite bands! Catnip, indeed.

    It seems like such a cliche sort of video and yet- hatless Stump!

    @antistar2000: Little did we know that David Cross was merely prepping for his record exec role in Alvin and the Chipmunks

    @Varina: Such a rare sight (a hatless Stump) - kind of like the Loch Ness Monster!

    @scarletvirtue (ΣΣΣ): Well, he’s got his hair long in the front which means THE BALD is probably pretty prominent from the back. I feel so sorry for the poor guy- fronting an internationally successful band (I guess) and yet going bald at 22.

    @Varina: bald, yet still having more money and success than I ever will. I’ll take it :D
