My Friend Dario

My Friend DarioHot dancers in tiny bikinis and football helmets. A lead singer that looks like a pomo Leather Tuscadero. And headbanging mulletheads playing imaginary instruments. 'Nuff said.

the bit when the drummer loses a stick and grabs a spare is hilarious.

this is what was presumably playing on the dirigible videos displays just offscreen over LA in Blade Runner.

That was somehow less than the sum of its parts.

The video was good, the song was meh. They're going to be huge.

That was the best 3.5 minutes of my life that I never want back.

Frickin' funny. Thanks for the link. I picked this album (OK Cowboy) up based on the Pitchfork review and was not disappointed. Newman is another great track.

Would the last person out of the music business please turn out the lights? Thanks!

Meh. It needed half-naked guys in cheerleader skirts to make it complete.

The chicks are hot and all, but their dancing can't hold a candle to OK Go's. The song either, for that matter, but at least they have chicks in bikinis.

I can only imagine that the concept meeting for the video was where the real magic happened.

I foresee the next big thing in fetish porn: girls in football helmets.

She still doesn't hold a candle to the original Leather Tuscadero.

Great album, really good. This song is one of the weaker ones in my opinion, but if you like the style at all, get the album. It's on itunes.
