When did this track get a video treatment? This whole not releasing Kelis stuff in North America stuff still baffles me. I mean, yeah, she's a little weird, but weird is totally marketable. Ever heard of Gnarls Barkley? While I'm jamming to the brand new and highly schizophrenic Kelis album (less crazy koo-koo than her earlier stuff, but still popo-loco for the mainstream American market) why not launch this rarely seen nugget into the blogosphere for your enjoyment, commentary and in anticipation of the video for that sexy second Kelis Was Here single, Blindfold me? This track is a duet with Andre 3000 from Outkast with frantic funktified production. Personally, I'm quite impressed that they either a) found underage talent that remarkably looks like Kelis and Andre, or b) were able to create a time machine to regress the singers to a pre-teenage state. Visualized by Director/Time Machine operator Guiseppe Capotondi, whose name is really fun to say. Watch the music video (qt).
