The Black Keys do not want you to watch their video. Literally. In the video for their single “Next Girl” off their new album Brothers, a dinosaur puppet mimes singing as a bikini-clad girl writhes on a beach chair. Across the bottom of the screen, a scrolling message denounces the video and claims it’s purely the result of the record company. “They [The Black Keys] disavow any responsibility for it and wish you would stop watching,” the message reads. Well—fat chance. Until we’ve got the record in our hands (which is a bit of a comeback for the Ohio-based blues-rock duo), the music is too good to turn it off. Watch the horrible kind of awesome video below.
