Goldfrapp Bring "Happiness," Questionable Wardrobe Decision To Leno

thumbnail icon: Goldfrapp Bring "Happiness," Questionable Wardrobe Decision To Leno

Once upon a time we told you "Happiness" was a guy pogoing down the street in white formalwear. It can also be a warm gun. Or, it seems, Alison, Will, & Co. drinking the Kool-Aid, laying down a hippie throw rug, hanging some sparkles, and showing up on Leno in flowing Heaven's Gate-meets-Cass Elliot ensembles (dig the boots, matey). All said, though, an alright performance. Plus, it's true: Keytars do make just about anything better.

The Renaissance Fair circuit ought to welcome them with open tunics.

Seventh Tree is out via Mute.

They look like a cult. Oh, wait, isn't that what the song is warning against?

Man. I really love Keytars.

I'm being sincere when I make such a statement too.

I became a fan after checking out Goldfrapp on Leno for the first time. Radical. Dreamt about that little song all night. I guess we must have been to the same coffee bar in Amsterdam at some point. :)

How did I miss this? Anyway, I think she wore something similar in the A&E video, if I'm not mistaken.
