It is hard to believe that this video is eleven years old, and the song itself still sounds quite fresh with its future-retro chops. I love the visual imagination on show here, the referencing of the Midwych Cookoos, the unsettling imagery at the end (the children riding the parents and the little girl surrounded by a SWAT team). I think this was before all the Marilyn Manson nonsense and is one of the few unsettling pop videos out there. It’s part Lynch, part Da-Da, part nightmare. I like it a lot and Shirley Manson makes me feel all funny in my private places.
