After teasing us with a couple of previews, Janelle Monae finally debuted her “Dance Apocalyptic” video this afternoon (July 2) and it’s as quirky and colorful as we’ve come to expect from the Queen of cool. The dizzying clip picks up where Outkast’s “Hey Ya” left off but that American Bandstand-inspired classic is just the starting point.

The recent Prince collaborator throws in a news break, a zombie warning and even some bikers. It’s a non-stop roller coaster ride that captures the wild spirit of the song perfectly. Monae’s eagerly-awaited sophomore album The Electric Lady drops September 10.

Did the clip live up to your expectations? Tell us in the comments.
