Wolfmother's White Unicorn. Somebody else's White Unicorn (defaced). (first QT, second youtube)

via antville. Could be a viral marketing stunt, but the penises and dumping horses make me think maybe not.

eh, I'm not hugely impressed. It's just another music video.

Although it is an improvement on the Wolfmother clip, most Wolfmother clips being a bit of a snooze (Mind's Eye was terrible).

Then again, I guess people don't really care about clips so much.

I thought the altered one was actually tremendously funny.

simple, subtle, but well done!

That started out pretty entertaining, but when the wangs started showing up I lost interest.

subtle?

It was funny, but could have been better executed... I guess I like my 4 minute clips to have a tiny bit more continuity to them, so the constant changing of band members into different personas (pirate/rabbit/minuteman/freckleboy) kind of bothered me.... if the creator had felt that this project was important enough to plan out what he was going to draw and how it would all tie in, rather than doodling like a high-schooler in History class, it would have turned out better.

Then again, it's apparent that I'm not on the same drugs that the people in the clip are on, and it seems that the people in the clip are the intended audience OF the clip, so take my comments with a tab of... puff of... shake of salt.

I really liked the way the boat goes behind the person's head around 3:25.

And incidentally, perhaps part of the charm is precisely because it looks like a high-schooler's doodling in history class.

I loved the sea monster.

I'm liking how popular "wolf" is as part of a band name these days, but that's about all I liked from the Wolf er, -mother clip.

The rotoscoping was kind of funny.

Got any Wolf Parade clips? I'd lke to see those.

oh wait, right. You Tube.

The drumsticks turned to small sharks made me laugh.

The only unicorns I care about are the ones involved in orgies. (NSFW... obviously)

I like how the water turns to steam to make the eggs fluffy at the end.
