New TV On The Radio Video - "Dancing Choose"

thumbnail icon: New TV On The Radio Video - "Dancing Choose"

It's been just a little over a week since we showed you TV On The Radio's greatest and gayest "Golden Age" clip, but the guys are already back with a new video from their crowning moment, Dear Science. This time it's for the urgent, rapidfire Tunde-fronted "Dancing Choose," and it involves less shape-shifting, zero Care Bears, and not-a-one dancing cop. Instead, you should have a Residents flashback:


Doesn't really add too much to the song: This is probably their best video.

Dear Science is out via Interscope. If you haven't already heard the album, stream it.

Does anyone think this song sounds like Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire? I keep finding myself singing the verses of that song along with it. This isn't a crack on the song because it's my favorite off the amazing album. Just a random observation.

Man Ray would be proud...

I agree, pretty much any song on this record can be a single. But, I have to be honest that this is the one song I've skipped more often since Tuesday.

I like the album but this is probably my least favourite song.

The video helps it come through. The live version must be a whole other song almost.

Every time I hear someone say how great this album is I freak out. It's not good. I don't see it. I don't get it. I'm positively lost.
