GNARLS BARKLEY: Smiley Faces

V FESTIVAL TORONTO Okay, all that crap floating around the internet with the Smiley Faces video being composed of some cheap-ass emoticon animation should just STFU. This is the real deal video with all the crazy high concept drama and theatrics we have come to expect from the Gnarls. Complete with a cast of conspiracy theorists (played by Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell) Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo Green have been green screened into various historical music related footage from early Motown, Thriller-era Michael Jackson, Andy Warhol pop art, the dawn of Hip Hop, David Bowie and psychedelic Woodstock. Who is the real Gnarls Barkley? Watch the UPDATED: video (qt) or video (win - stream). .

These guys are the greatest thing in R&B right now as far as I am concerned. Awesome music. Great video! I love their use of vintage footage. Nice cameos from Hopper and Stockwell. I get the feeling that those two would do anything for a pint of whiskey. :) Their website is a trip too!

I love this video. I even blogged it from Youtube. I nearly wet my pants when I saw Andy Warhol and Lou Reed and all the others. They picked the perfect scenes to be a part of.

Of course, there will be RHCP comparisons, what with the recent popularity of all things vintage, but the Peps didn't really do much other than play dress-up. Gnarls Barkley green-screened onto the coolest scenes in the history of recorded music. That's awesome.

Gnarls Barkley, if you're reading this (which you're probably not), you're awesome.
