Chanson du Jour

Every once in so often a perfect storm forms in the music video industry creating a video that has it all. This is "such dutiful video" (if you did not laugh at that joke, go back and watch the Vincent Dooly videos). Let me just tell you the elements involved in making music video history with this dutiful video.

Spinning cameras, man in towel at a party, people in suspenders, woman in bathing suit with life jacket and beach ball at a party, Mary Poppins technology of incorporating animation with live action, hummingbird cannibalism, regurgitation of animated birds...etc.

Enjoy this acid trip courtesy of the band Born Ruffians. This is Hummingbird


PS - Born Ruffians have what I think is a catchier song, but the video is a little gruesome for this G-Rated blog. If you are feeling like listening to a good song while watching Haunted House-style violence (complete with fake blood and guts and farm animals eating said guts) watch the video for I Need A Life.
