Sure, Gnarls Barkley’s video for “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul” brings together overwrought breakup conversations and singing internal organs in such a way that one wonders when the wordily bloody genre of “mumblegore” is going to begin plaguing film festivals around the world. But friend of Idolator Reed Fischer noted a curious resemblance between the clip and a scene from one of my all-time most favorite movies, and I figured sharing the clip with all of you would brighten up this too-lovely-to-be-inside Thursday:

Obviously, the Gnarls video is sorely lacking in John Candy content, but that’s the case for pretty much everything put out in 2008.

    @Maura Johnston: Savage Steve’s career hasn’t looked promising since they canceled Shasta McNasty…but he’s writing for “Howard Stern Porky’s” so at least he’s pretty close to rock bottom. It can only get better right?
