New Yeah Yeah Yeahs Video - "Cheated Hearts"

With the Internet so busy these days (it's a series of tubes), our beloved YYYs asked the homegrown YouTube stars of the world to do the Karen O. The resulting music video for "Cheated Hearts" is pretty cute. I like the "Nick" with the camera (funny!). Check it out:

Too bad that girl from the Celebration didn't submit a video, she does a mean Karen O impersonation...

That was simply spectacular. Once again, great video, zero budget.

This is comparable to the Feeder "just a day" music video. Fan videos sent in the footage. although it was prior to the "viral video singing into the computer" craze.

These suck. I'd rather see Karen O rockin' out for the 3:45 than those nerds.

The whole video should have been those weirdos being swept away by the waves. What the hell was that about?

Excellent. Even though stellastarr* had a very similar idea, this video is more original/less glossy. I love both.

i don't think Celebration comparisions with the YYY's are valid.

Celebration (under the name Jax, then Love Life) predate the YYY by a couple of years.
