The music video to the song Los Villanos, by a band called Poolpo, is pretty damn joyous. I like it and I hope you like it too.

I find most other language music in pop format to be jarring - like putting custard in sand - but that sounded great!

I just have less and less of an idea of what's going on as it progresses.

So it would appear that the poor young man with a complete pair of glasses, courted a lovely young woman. Eventually he was handed a half pair by his lady love, who was encouraged to offer it to him at the directive of the red clowns who represent the media, and so perhaps societal pressures?

After she gives it to him, most likely as an invite to marriage and adulthood, he appears to have a freak-out, and wanders through the park until the red clowns (societal pressures) wear him down and eventually force him into "adulthood" and half pair eyeglass wearing.

The green haired clown band seemed to think this was not a desirable outcome, if the throat-slashing motions at the end meant anything.

(I have no idea what the lyrics are, I just pulled that all out of my behind. Great video!)

I liked it ok as an attempt at video weirdness but I found the bland poppy style of singing really boring.

In a world which includes PonPonPon and ChickChick, you really have to work harder to get to weird these days.

The ChickChick video you posted is the first time in forever that I've actually laughed out loud at anything. Thanks for this.
