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??
This reminds me of another video that is much funnier:
@antistar2000: ah, thanks for posting this!
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!

Jesus, does this actually pass for music?
@antistar2000: Little did we know that David Cross was merely prepping for his record exec role in Alvin and the Chipmunks…
Dammit! I just got some Zubaz pants a couple weeks ago.
@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.

See, no one will admit it but its becoming obvious – the shit will inherit the earth :) The city IS at war, people
! :D
@Varina: bald, yet still having more money and success than I ever will. I’ll take it :D
@Varina: Such a rare sight (a hatless Stump) – kind of like the Loch Ness Monster!
