The video for “Further Complications,” the title track from the second solo album by Jarvis Cocker, is a hybrid of Madonna’s boxed-in clip for “Human Nature” and Mad’s long-beloved Fold-In, with the dapper singer dancing like a spaz and being manipulated into . (NB: He is wearing a blazer, not the bondage gear Madge wore in that 1994 video—I guess that sort of getup would be more appropriate for a Relaxed Muscle clip.) After the jump, Jarvis in all his pixelated glory!





Obligatory aside for anyone who doesn’t know this already: I love this album! You should too.
