Idolator

Could Elvis Byrne there please cut it out? They're both still alive, we can recognize what you're doing...

V-vicki Vale, V-vicki Vale, I like.... BAT MAAAN

I like the song well enough. I want to hear the rest of the album though. If it's anything like The Warning, the songs that will come to be my favorites aren't necessarily the singles.

PS: Hot Chip will break your legs, snap off your head.

I'm missing what's PSB about this. Other than the only vaguely "Very"-era color schemes.

Pet Shop Boys are catchy and brilliant, unlike this.

Whoops, "colour." Sorry.

I love Hot Chip, but this video kind of reminds me of those awful Tony Wilson-directed early New Order videos. You know the ones..with totally random stuff and stupid editing.

Jesus, at least reference something more in need of resurrecting than a video MTV played 48 times daily in the summer of 1989. Maybe their budget didn't allow for a 50-year-old Kim Basinger, no longer bio-degradable for all the nipping and tucking, doing the moves again, flopping out of her spandex a little.

But I like Hot Chip. When they're good, they're all about McCartney II and Thomas Dolby's "Hyperactive."

Weird. Sounds like the typical amateurish weak hooks / weedy singing ACID-produced combination you hear on your average Myspace page. They had enough of a budget for a video?

@Jfrankparnell: well, considering that the average teenager was either not conceived or still sptting up similac when that video was in heavy rotation, combined with the fact that 13-22 year olds these days appear (at least to me) to suffer from a sever lack of awareness of anything pre-1999...i'd say you're sporting a sever case of "you damn kids better get offa my lawn"-itis....

does anyone but me remember the recycling of 60's hippy gear in the late 80's/early 90's (circa the "acid house boom")? this is par for the course. the recycling of recycling will now begin.
