Everything is better with monkeys! That's why today's video is done by a group named the Gorillaz. The song is DARE, which is presumably about avoiding drugs, which is odd for a band. It's about five minutes long.

Oh crap! Anime! KILL IT! SEND IT BACK TO HELL! Also, there's some fat guy who's doing an impersonation of Jan in the Pan. I couldn't make out the lyrics because I suck at doing so.
Ok, on second watch the anime kid opens up a sliding wall and turns on the giant severed head. Also, I guess the anime kid is not quite anime because he seems to have more then a couple frames of animation. His feminine appearance is just a distraction.
At the end of the video, the head guy wakes up and is in a room with a honeycomb wall. He's in a bed with some other anime guy who tells him to go back to sleep.
Ok, the lyrics seem to repeat, so what I'm gathering is this. Several times they say it's coming up, and then the refrain mentions that you have to hold it down, so the song is about vomit. I'm not sure what that has to do with DARE, but the lyrics aren't giving me much to work with.
So I guess the song is ok, if a bit lyrically deficient, but the music video packs two kinds of creepy together. Do they show it during Halloween, because it's appropriate for that kind of year. If it wasn't anime, I guess the animation is good because the kid is in 3d.
The awesome things about this video is the Speak N Spell and the Atari joysticks.

The "anime kid" with the feminine appearance is actually female. Her name is Noodle and don't get any ideas because she's underage (and a gorilla). I believe she is the "Asian schoolgirl" of the group.
If you had a giant head in your room wouldn't you dance around it?
The Gorillaz are actually "secretly" Blur, who you saw a video from earlier. They figured they had some free time so they invented an imaginary cartoon band, made an album, and put them on tour... somehow.
I'll post your next song in a minute.
Ok, I got your new video, Tork. Have some Nine Inch Nails:

I made sure to pick out one that does NOT feature dismembered things with flies on them. So be thankful.
Trent says some bad words in this one, so be sure to protect your pretty mind. :o(
