Intriguing premise. My fave sequence has to be when the post-emo hipster, through the use of seamless digital wizardry, almost kisses a sullen Tim and a jaded Jay. It’s narrowly trumps the free-of-irony embrace between said Rockers at video’s end. Well done, boys (and creative team)!
Awesome song and video. No love interest for the poodle? Or is there??? 😉 I’ve been a huge fan since Son of Sam I am, and haven’t stopped listenening since. Can’t wait for the new album. Thanks guys!!!
