New Jenny Lewis Video - "See Fernando"

For someone as videogenic as Jenny, her last videos for "Black Sand" was remarkably blah. We didn't even post the studio-set clip she made with Elvis Costello for "Carpetbaggers" because it, too, offered little by way of something you should actually take time out of your day to watch. "See Fernando" is the cure though. It's nice to see Jenny not flanked by Elvis for a chance (words I never thought I'd type about Elvis). The vid's styled like the trailer for a silly 1960s secret agent caper with lots of costumes and goofy action. It is very amusing! And there are lots of great hats! Jenny Lewis loves hats! Worth a watch.

Acid Tongue is out.

You're so beautiful, you could be an air hostess in the sixties!

im guessing this video was shot a while ago considering its her backing band from the last album, and this song dates back to then

Nice to see Jenny acting again, and in short-shorts too! The headlock bit was a hoot.

What an awesome video! The running scene at the beginning reminds me of the Monkees.
