Official music video for Maya's new single "Boyz," from the forthcoming XL release Kala. The single is released on June 12th and album' is released in August 21st.
M.I.A.
Not sure that salvages a single video link though.
i thought the video was amusing/entertaining/interesting on it's own merits. i don't think that the fact that it is promoting a new album by a popular musician is all that interesting...
sorry it wasn't worth the click for you...

Just a friendly thought geos , if you post something that takes this long to download (for me about 5 minutes) some background would be nice, in case I don't enjoy . . . what ever this is I'm look at. Which I don't really, sorry to say. But if you gave some background it would help me and others make a judgement call about clicking. Thanks.

Too bad Rihanna's "Umbrella" has already taken up residence as the hot summer jam for 2007 (at least in NYC), because "BOYZ" really is the greater and more deserving track.

Good fun song, cracking video.
It took an age to load for me too, so I gave and went with YouTube.

Well if the background info had been included then it would have been a double. See hermitosis above.

You can get a pretty good idea of what the video is about in just a few seconds of downloading.

Awesome track. Could do with a re-edit.
That beat is a 'baltimore club' breakbeat, btw.

I liked it! Makes me feel summery. Want to pop it in the CD player and drive to the beach.
[Also, GOD I love that prairie dog/gopher thing. I've had it saved on my computer for a week now and at least once a day I crack it open and giggle like a little girl.]

You know I was like a millimeter away from a single link two word title with no explanation FPP called HORROR BEAVER but backed away at the last second.
I could have beefed it up with these, though:
Zhe goggles...ZHEY DO NOTHING!!!
Curses!
And ...wtf?
