New Gnarls Barkley Video (Feat. Justin Timberlake) - "Run"

Forever pop culture savvy, the odd couple of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse draft Justin Timberlake (who's showing a lot of his kebab online today) to play host of a TV dance party soundtracked by the tune's retro party soul. Given, we couldn't have asked for another "Crazy," but this is pretty damn good.

Alongside the pop culture know how, of course, comes the attempts to dupe bloggers. The marketing team behind the album is circulating a rumor that "Run" failed the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer (used by broadcasters to ensure footage won't induce seizures). Or at least we think that's why someone sent us this...

Click to make it bigger. Also: That's 52 frames of bullshit. Unless you just had a seizure, in which case we are assholes of epileptic proportions. Let us know how it goes. The Odd Couple is out 4/8 on Downtown.

Why couldnt we expect another "Crazy"?

Are our expectations so low that one-hit wonders are the norm?

How about expecting Gnarls to have a greatest hits record in 5 years time, with 4 or 5 other "Crazys" on it.

"Crazy" is on my list of Best Pop Songs of All Time right below "Hey Jude" (I don't actually have a list...just sayin'). I understand why many think it will be impossible to top. Still, this is incredible.
