Birthday Girl Video by The Roots
I haven't come by one of these in a long time: a genius video. Great song, great concept, great video.
Props should go to The Roots and Patrick Stump for a brilliant song. Director Rik Cordero came up with a wonderful concept and should be praised for his decision to use Sasha Grey. Sasha Grey is awesome...the more you know about her, the more you can appreciate this video (where's Tyra when you need her?).
I wish they would have restrained things a bit and made it subtle...but I guess they needed to hammer the point down for the less observant. Either way, it's still gobs of fun.
The Roots is making a huge mistake if they decide to keep "Birthday Girl" off the US version the "Rising Down" album. It's a great track whose Pop sound hides it's disturbing message.
