Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hello and welcome to episode one hundred and thirty five
of Throwback Music Video Review podcast, and tonight we will
be reviewing Danger Danger High Voltage. Bye, Electric Six. Danger
High Voltage is a song by American rock band Electric Six.
(00:54):
It was released as the band's debut and lead single
from their debut studio album five in two thousand and three.
You peaked at number two in the UK Singles Chart
and reached the top twenty in Ireland and the Netherlands.
The video for the song was directed by Tom Kuntz
and Mike Maguire and currently has thirteen million views on YouTube.
(01:18):
So fellas, welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Back, Hey everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hey, So yeah, guys, what is your history with Electric Six?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'll make mine very brief because I don't really, I didn't.
When Louis brought this up, I had no idea, never heard,
never heard any of the songs until we watch some
of the some of the videos. But no, man, I
can't believe it was I even around. This is two
thousand and four, three Lives I born. What was I doing?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Playing bands?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I think that's always happening.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I think that's that's what kind of happened because I
heard this song around when it came out. I think
it was also because I was I was actually still
subscribed to a lot of indie rock magazines. I think
that's how I would get a lot of my music
stuff from. But that's kind of how I think I
found out about them. And then I was able to
see the video. I was like whoa. And then all
their videos which are like oh whoa. They all have
(02:08):
reviewable videos. For a podcast like this, I think a
podcast could just do electric six videos and have a
pretty nice following up.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You guys are club goers? Did you? Did they ever
play their music clubs? It seems like they would.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It's very I think I've heard this at the club before.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, I had never heard I've never heard this stuff
in the club.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You know. Okay, So for example, two thousand and three ish,
we probably frequented some West Hollywood clubs like Fusion, probably right,
And I can imagine them playing this this song.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I could see this there, I could see this. I
kind of like those weird one off clubs that we
go back to. And then also maybe Velvet it's a
very velvet coded song.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
But yeah, but you've heard gay Bar before, right, Yes?
Where did you hear that?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That was during the heyday of the beginning of social
media MySpace. That song was very popular, oh okay, because
it was actually ended in a satirical way, since the
Iraq War was happening around this time, someone did a
splice job of George Bush singing the songs of Electric
Six's Gay Bar and in context with the Prime Minister
(03:15):
UK at that time, Tony Blair. Yeah, and they're like
hinted that they're you know, they're going to go to
wharf in the gay Bar and back then, you know,
watching it, I thought it was hilarious. We just watched
it a few minutes ago and it's not as funny
as I remember.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It wasn't because it was very repetitive.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think, yeah, that's what it was. But back then
the novelty was so new. I guess that it's like now,
we were so dulled by the constant barrage of Internet
humor that this is like amateur r now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Also, I was a White Stripes fan at the time.
I remember I got I think their first album, very
garage rock, you know, I was really into it. And
then I knew that Jack White sang on the song,
and it was still like a mystery, but it sounds
just like him.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The high pitch, the high pitch, Okay, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah,
so that's really him.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I honestly thought that was that lady.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No, No, it's actually first, but it was confirmed it
was later later on.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He's actually Jack Whites on the I M d B
for the for the video, so he.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Was making up with Jack White. It's not him, his avatars.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They're in the Detroit music scene, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, the whole like Detroit music scene, so like the
dirt Bags and what's the other Detroit Cobras, and there's
like a big garage rock scene back then in Detroit.
But remember that garage rock was made to come back
before that huge. Yeah, the Vine and what's the other
one that we're all white and black.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
The Hives high yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So that was a big So they're all from Detroit,
these these Libertines, the Libertines. No, no, they're all from
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But there was just like aa, they influenced that that
kind of scene.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, yeah, the garage rock revival bringing that kind of
sound back of.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Them had like the I remember that ye had the
Hives and.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah they had to look too, right, but even in
the Strokes, of course, the Strokes the first few, right, and.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They were all kind of well, a lot of the
garage the real kind of garage rocky ones are really
like influenced by like the head Coats. They're really like
huge billy Childish fans. Who's like the main guy from
the head Coats and the mid and Yeah. So that
was like a just a real like a weird thing
that just kind of got big.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
At that time, right, Yeah, because they were from the nineties, right.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Because I remember what was it one of the White
Stripes albums is actually recorded in Billy Childishes. He has
like an all analog studio in the studio, and they
got in that album Holly Golightly sings on it, so
it's it was like it was a whole like, oh shoot,
Holly Golightly like and then the Broken the Broken Flowers soundtrack,
omber that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Bill Murray, Yeah, the Bill Murray movie, and then.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Holly Golightly's on the soundtrack for that too, So it
was just like a whole weird nineties garage rock.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What a strange period. It's crossing over the millennium right
the late nineties to the two thousands.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
And that was big like indie music scene, right, That's
when like there was a you know a lot of
indie record labels that were kind of big. Then it
kind of went from that to kind of indie sleeves
and and kind.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Of like the post punk revival.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Revival and disco punk and stuff like that too.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That was a whole music history.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, so I think that's how I kind of got in, right.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
They totally fit yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And anything dancy and like punk.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They have a pretty wide range of influences, right. Some
of their songs are complete. I mean, I guess that's
their kind of care free whatever sounds, whatever it goes,
but it's always pretty bang.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You know, like, yeah, and if you're a band who
has twenty albums, it's gonna that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, he's pretty prolific, huh. But but nowadays though he's
just by himself. He doesn't really record with the rest
of the band.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, he has like a solo kind of well, I mean,
here's always I think he's always had kind of a
solo project. And he's also played with other bands.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They have like live musicians. Then I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Think, but I think he actually plays with the Electric
six still.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I think they're they're still Yeah, they're still around, but
like does he just own the name, but they're not
the original?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I know it looks like some of there's some of
the same. There's people, but I mean past when you
look at their past Menabers list, it's it's wild. It
looks like, yeah, it's huge. But then he's also an
erotic noir book writer, right Valentine's he's come up with
(07:29):
Chinatown reach Around is one of his books. Glendale Glory
Hall is another book. So these actually they seem like,
I mean, they get really good reviews on good Reads.
I was reading the reviews on good.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Reads and then can you read some of those excerpt.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I'm not going to go off, but let me see
if I can remember some of them. It said that they
are very good noir books, great mysteries. A lot of fisting,
they said, and a lot of reach arounds. So you
know that's I think that's where his noir mind goes to.
And I think Chinatown Reach Around supposed to be a
part two of the movie Chinatown.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I don't know if the same. I don't know if
Jack Nicholson's characters in it, but I'll let you know
after I read it. I ordered it from my local bookstore.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean, I love adult chop.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's a un settling, you know, seeing him be interviewed
by kids in that one YouTube video, right, knowing that
he writes these.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Fiction, right, I mean, just because you write erotic fiction
doesn't mean that you're all right.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So just just as you know, he's not.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm not calling the other it's just that little these
kids know.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, let's get some content. We watched one of the
videos on YouTube of Dick Valentine being interviewed by two
eleven year old girls for it's called Kids Interview Bands
something like that. Right, that's that's the name of their
three followers. Yeah, very healthy following. But the thing is,
but he was very honest, he said, because one of
the questions was your a lot of your songs are
(08:58):
not appropriate for our for eleven year old. Also, right,
name three songs that are and then he was trying
to come up with him but he was struggling. He
was just fast catalog of music, too many to pick
Froim not.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
A pepo from his his fiction, his fiction, right, No, no, no,
you didn't talk about the literary talents.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
He was very respectful, but pretty funny with them. Right, Yeah,
these girls interview a whole bunch of bands that we
were trying to figure out, like which how they get
these bands? And where how is this happening? It's wild.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
They must be you know their parents would be connected
right somehow, and they're just like, hey, you know, our
kid is having it. If you want to sign this,
if you want to like this contract, you gotta do this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well, one of them, like they're hanging out the Flaming Lips,
was like, hey, right, I mean in backstage, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Wa, Churt Smith of Tears for Fears, and he was
just yeah, he was having a great time. He was
having a ball, so halpay to answer all the questions, right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But anyways, very little electricics history, but I did. I
did give the entire album a listen the Fire album.
It's a good album, the first one.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
This first one, yeah, this one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And this is before even you know, the podcast was
even planned. I just had it and I can only
imagine that that kind of energy in in in the
concert situation show in the live show, you know, like
like imagine, you know, a small venue and that's kind
of music they're blasting. I'm that sounds like a blast.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
It's wild because at the time, I mean you watch
the videos, like they're huge in England and Australia, so
they play like Glass and Bury and stuff like that,
and like the crowds are going crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, look they have that high energy. Yeah, you know,
look definitely for like huge shows like that, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Like they played gay Bar and it's like the whole
crowd like erupts into.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Insanity, like whoa. I mean the guitar riff, it's like
surf guitar kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
It's very cool.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's so cool. Yeah, it is super catchy. Once in
a while, would get a Mojo magazine, they would have
ads or bands playing nearby. Electric six always there every
week that I was playing. From what I'm seeing, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Think they we just had a huge over there. It
was just one of those bands that just was bigger
there than here. Yeah, And they talk about it like
a lot of the interviews like how come you're bigger
here than you are in an America And he says,
I don't know you. You guys just love us and
we'll play the opposite or.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Like David Asslop in Germany right there, friends, all right,
it's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, you know, it's funny that you say that. I
was listening to a podcast interview with Dick Valentine or
Tyler Spencer and he they asked him, like, what your
your music catalog is so vast, you have so many
songs and so many like influences. Who's your favorite band?
He's like, oh, that's really hard to he said, it's
really hard, but this might not be a good answer,
but they are when they are my favorite band, depeche Mode.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Wow, it's crazier.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And I was like, wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I can see that. I mean, how could you not
like all but for for him to be his favorite
band it's kind of we.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Know a lot of people that they would die for
that bad, you know, like they got their license play
freaking yeah. Yeah. The tattoos for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I mean I got your pretty boy tattoo on my arm.
I think, hey, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I know that they're like, especially in America, they were
bigger the mainstream more for the controversies like the Jack
White thing, buds, the Abraham Lincoln in the gay bar video.
I think was a big thing. The we want to
start a nuclear war because we were at a war
at the time.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
That was getting beaped out on the radio. That was weird, right,
Like I mean, now we bleep out so many random
like I mean, I guess they're offensive wars, but like
so like oh World three or what the World two?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, they were they know they put a whip.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that. I was starting to do
a whip. Sounded like, oh, that's what that was. That's
what that was.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But do it again, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I'm being hushed by by a Filipino teacher or something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Their original name was the Wild Bunch. Yeah, and they
were going to get to my massive attack because that
was massive attacks originally.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Oh, they had a collective, right yeah, the Trip Artists collective. Correct.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
So that was like that was one of the things
that kind of like was a thing too. And then
also like they all went by stage names, was like
another big deal, you know. So it's like they were
bigger for all their weird you know, extricities than actually they're.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Very much like coin division. Sure, yes, you take that out.
Speaker 2 (13:36):

a circle. It needs to be crossed again to flow through. No,
there we go, There we go. We're all learning a
closed circuit is necessary for electricity. Oh, that's fun. I
just kid up answers. I just keep asking the same questions,
(19:32):
Like a circle water is an excellent insulator for electricity.
To or false.
Speaker 2 (19:38):

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Nice some logic, some electric logic here.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, like a Christmas lights happens to me every year.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Al Static electricity is caused by an abundance of charge
on a surface. True or false.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
That is true, that I am Ryan. True or false.
Affuse is designed to prevent the circuit from being.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Overheat did true?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
True? Oh, Copper is a common conductor because it has
high resistance.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
True. That's false.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I don't know why, but it's a yeah, it's not.
I think it's not the resistance. I think it has
low resistance. That's why it feels faster.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, okay, Ryan, the.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Last one here we go. Batteries convert chemical energy into
electrical jury energy. True or false?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Chemical false?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Nope, that's true. So when you have a battery, it's
full of liquid, so it's chemicals and it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Really batteries have liquid. I guess that's why they leak
huh of it?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
And when you drive, when you when you drive your
car for a long time and you're you overcharge your battery,
it sorts of leaking water to prevent it from blowing up.
But now batteries are made they have jal in them now,
like the newer ones, the nicer ones, so it doesn't
really happen as much. But good job, guys.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All right, we'll be right back for the music video discussion.
Let's talk about the music video for Danger Danger Voltage.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
By the way, one of the things that I read
about him was he says that nine percent of their
songs are just about nothing. Hm. It's it's kind of
like you know when bands say it's just placeholders and
it just ends up becoming for them. I think that's
the that's part for the chorus, it's just whatever words
sound good. It's always about fire or dance or desire. Right,
(22:23):
So stuff like that, which I kind of get, you know,
kind of you tend to use the same kind of
verbiage right when you're writing your song, as long as
it fits right.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's why you can talk about that energy prolific and
have a billion albums.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So as we speak, if it sounds good coming out
of his mouth while he's singing it and it's kind
of screaming, seems screaming, you know, it's it sounds kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Good, and yeah, he feels comfortable, like you know, he
you can hear him like liking singing that song.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There's a certain flavor in Electric six videos, right, yes,
very much.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well a lot of them are directed by the same
directors too. Yeah, so there's a there.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Is a like he said this that very early too
thousands comed like very comedic kind of cinematography. That there's
something un ironically funny or like awkward or almost borderline
with that word absurdist. Yes, like I guess this is
the same director who does the old spice commercials.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh is it?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Really that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I looked because I looked up the IMDb of the director,
and he has like he has like he's done a
billion commercials, He's done a lot of music videos. Yeah,
but they kind of have that feel, you know. But yeah,
I've seen a lot of his, h you know, his
other work. It's kind of follows that kind of cinematography
of very articulated backgrounds, you know, very very ornate, but
very clean and classy looking. But there's something off about it.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah. Well the paintings were like especially done, right, They're
supposed to be made creepy, and you know, because just
the intro it's very reminiscent of what we do in
the Shadows. I love that movie If I Found in
Love just because of the intro, how amazing it was
and how it affected me, because yeah, it me in
(24:00):
so quick you right, and then it's very similar to
this where you you know that you're getting the groove right,
it's going, and then you you start seeing these really
strange kind of like and it's quick, so like, h
and it sticks. I want to see that again, you
know what. I'm trying to watch the video. So anyway
you kind of get that first.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's probably one big painting, but they're just flashing deep
of this painting.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, they actually made quite a few. Yeah, you can
kind of see it all over their walls and you know,
behind them. So so that's the set, right, and they
seem to be like this very i don't know, like
a noble couple or like almost like a British couple. Yeah,
in the you know, in the.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Countryside polo, but they're you know, waiting for to play
in polos.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Right. They might have like one of those big manners
like on the in the Countryside and then.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
The fox hunting, yes, the very next.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But they have this secret maybe life that they're a
part of, right, So maybe that's what I was kind
of that's the vibe I was kind of know.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They have like a you know, they have a Fidelio.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Part heavy fetish parties that they're involved in.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Could be, but we don't really see that. We don't
see that, but you know, they they partake probably you know,
but they don't host it, but they probably go to it. Yes, right,
but what do you think about the glowing cod piece?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Right? Well, okay, so if you've never seen a big
part of the video, of course is them mostly doing
the singing, right, singing, and then the cod piece has
come up, and the female character wears the broth, also
glowing broth, but she's wearing pretty fetish kind of yeah,
like kind of where.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, Yeah, she's wearing kind of like leathery kind of
fetish where and he's wearing just like tweet or right
like hunting and she's what's her name, Tina corrac.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Never Yeah k a n a r canic.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Canaric rrect and she's like only has two things on IMDb,
which is this and then a short called Norma. But
she's like a British royal Canadian dramatic at an actress.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
So she's like a big on stage.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, yeah, so she was like pretty accomplished. She's doing
amazing in this video, esus.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Oh yeah, she's full.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
On yeah yeah, yeah, and she's singing the Jack White
parts correct.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yes, Oh, don't get me wrong. I thought it was
her too, Like, wow, that's cool that she's really into
it because she's a little bit older than him, right.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know, like extreme kissing like make out sessions
here is makes me uncoverable after like you know, ten seconds.
This went on for like twenty five thirty.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
They do two of them too, They do the one
on the couch.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So that's the major part of the video, right, the moose, right, Yes,
they're on the moose on the couch. And what else
was the other scene where there were two scenes?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, they were There were the couch in the.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Moose, very long, intense, passionate kiss.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, you can tell this couple, like, you know, the
idea behind them is there.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know, it's fueled out because they have these parties
that we don't that they don't show in the video, right,
and they have the secret to.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Oh and then she also for the sex solo, she
plays the sacks.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes you have that phone, but that she actually played
the sacks, or she's doing like what Paul Simon did
playing the flute and yeah, he thinks can call me out.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I don't think she plays. Yeah, but the art direction
for this video and some of the other videos are
it's amazing, so crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's one of the things. Since they like making videos,
you know, like the like very specific, very targeted videos.
I think it's funny because they it seems like they're
at least for him, he's always scaring, like hyper masculinity. Right,
all the characters are super well yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Gay bar he's Abraham Lincoln and he's working.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Out right right the whole right synthesizer. It's all like,
you know, like flaunting. Right, he's very this video, of course.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Let's not forget radio radio.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Radio is amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He kind of likes to play that character, right, very absurdist. Yeah,
it's very confident, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It's that best kind of non apologize like old school absurdists,
where like you cannot break. If you break, it's going
to destroy the whole thing. You need't stay in the
character forever. This isn't SNL and someone's laughing on the
side of you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
He's going for long Jim Fall get kicked out of
this bad real quick, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And I think that's the great part about it is
it's just going there, going full throttle. And then when
they start making out, you're just like wait what I know,
it's like wait what.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's like, Okay, it's over now, Nope, there's no one
at it.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And then what's interesting too, I think is when you
see him as himself, I would assume he still has
a very kind of performative, you know, way of presenting
himself right, Like he's very good, he's very quick minded,
like quick witted with the way he speaks and talks,
but also entertaining, so like it kind of kind of
mirrors with the what do you see in him in videos?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I mean, he has a future in stand up comedy
if he ever wanted to pursue that.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But I think the theater some sort of like like
performing the improv improv, yeah, because he can kind of
get into those characters for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's like you to make up with someone for two hours,
Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
To the b huh in like the music videos. He
always goes full on with the makeup and the costumes,
and he doesn't look like how he looks in regular life,
right yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So wild looking synthesizer. You know, he doesn't look like
him at I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Even know if that's him, but he's got it to him.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's him. Has the video in the interview with the kids,
Remember he's like, oh yeah for my first, very first album.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Oh he says that, but it's a clean song that
they were. He didn't say like, oh, I'm the best
and you know looking guy in the just don't watch.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The video of me naked playing guitar.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
But in the end, it's so hot that the catches
in flames, right yeah, yeah, the whole play painting paintings,
high voltage voltage.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Also sitting next to a fire, and then there's like
some like red dog statues too, and it's just like
everything is like.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
We forgot to mention that the moose also had a
glowing horse peace, right Is that? No, that's that was
the joke. You don't the moose also has it in
because yeah he does.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We're so focused on the on on the humans.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It glows. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
The moose is moose is glowing l good touch, good touch.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
So yeah, everybody's hearts are glowing.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, everyone's like fireflies. And it's so.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Wild how it looks like they're what they do in
shadows because the wallpaper and then all the taxidermy things and.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It's you think it. I could see him kind of
liking them the scene, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, and then they're so big in Australia, right and
maybe New Zealand too, so I could imagine like like.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I want that one. I want that. I want that though,
that's my that's your.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Wow. No walked into u c V hair, but I
didn't have to pay the five I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I'm doing his viago and I'm like, oh, could we
please talk to.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Could you please conjure him up?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I cat, I can conjure the cat that the painting
of the cat that was his face, Vlad remembering what
we did in a shadow where he becomes a cat.
But he comes like a poor looking cat. Yeah, it's
a badly drawn cat, like I can turn to a
cat but not very good.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Okay, but yeah that at the end, the video ends
up erupting in fire, and it's not too hot. It's
not too loud because your desire.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
They neglected the danger of the high voltage.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
You've been worn all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
There's too much fire and desire.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
But I think it's the video is short, it's sweet.
The song is is short and sweet and just kind
of gets in and gets out and it's just.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Leads very impactful.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, it leaves you like, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You know exactly? I think that's the key, right, you
see that? And I want to see the other videos
because I wonder if they're always like this, this kind
of a comedic angle to it, because.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
You guys made it sound like it's a quick video
that those kids, those make ups, that's just last.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Years of intimacy.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, Like it's really like, I don't know, it
makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Because I have to question his own.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Yeah exactly the last time I did something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
All right, guys, we'll be right back for some notable
YouTube comments. All right, it's time for some notable YouTube comments.
All right.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
All right, So a lot of the YouTube comments, like
all of ours, is a lot of the same stuff
they talk about, the jack white of it all. A
lot of people bring up the taco bell. You have
to prove that up down to right. Yeah, firing the
disco fire on the taco bell, which is really funny.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
That's just you know, I've been craving ach Loopa taco
bell I haven't had.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
They're good and they're like amazing years.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, like you know, if we didn't need today, we
should have just during the taco bell right free podcast
in the taco about fire in our stomachs after I
fired a toilet. Oh my brand new toilet by.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
The way, yes, ill did get a new toilet. Just
nice flashing codpieces comes up and then the jack White
of it all. Okay, but there are some really good
ones on here right here. Booker Jones of forty nine sixteen,
I come back through this every now and then then
just to check that it wasn't as I wasn't hallucinating
when I watched this video. Jesty oot at thirteen forty
(33:34):
four said, the fact that this song made it number
two in the UK charts is still one of the
few things that makes me proud to be British number two,
number two. And they played on they played on like Jewels, Holland,
and they played on everything top of the pops. It
was crazy. And then this one. Chris Disco says, back
when videos were made wholesome and the whole family.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Can enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Things.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
There's another funny one. Things you can't look away from
the car accidents in this video. And then a bunch
of just taco bells are all over the place, a
lot of taco bells. But it's funny, man, like this is.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You would think taco bell would be. You know, I
can talk about sponsoring.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I mean that that was this is the era of
the of the chihuahua, right.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Right, and this video came out. Maybe they couldn't pay
for both.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, you can only play either a chihuaa or electric six.
I don't think you could do.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Both electric six meal combo or something, right, Yeah, six
dollars combo that you get a taco bell, right, Okay,
So guys, danger danger, high voltage. Would you keep it
or would you throw it back?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I'll go for it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, you know, I'll keep this video.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
You're so sick.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And in my mouth from watching the just making a
big deal because you know it's that is that is
how I remember his video biased.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
The because I think that was the point yes, the
extended length.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It is, you know, like I'm so used to watching
movies where that's just what three second stops. This one
is like just goes off and they're like eating each
other's faces. I'm like, that's like I've never seen anything
like that on a music video, even contemporary movies.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
It's you mean, like porn movies like Sliver, erotic thrillers.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, like Sliver with the Baldwin. Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
You're pure, like hard singing, but you're like, but porn,
you know, please don't kiss that hard and long.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's too hard, because I guess it's just the the
certain elements that you don't expect that the medium of
music video. I guess this is like this kind of
intimacy of just eating each other's faces is I mean,
I guess that's the art, right, that's the art of it.
And then you know, I get it. It's funny. It's
really funny. She's going at it. You know, these two
(36:05):
people have huge age gaps and just you know, like
if I saw him walk together walk by the street.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I won't think they're you're so ageous, you.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Know, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's like the point is the point.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
That's why you're talking about it now exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, the video got me. So that's why I'm keeping
it because it is a very provider.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So they did warn you twice danger dangers.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Imagine the protons conducting around here.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Imagine if you were at a taco ball and two
people were making out like that in front of you.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Oh it's over, it's over.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
At a disco, I could see that that's happened a
bunch of times at a disco.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Take to go, please, But so keep hi. Yeah, well
I'm going to I'm going to agree with al and
I will also keep Now there is a nice slice
of early two thousands comedy, musical comedy. You know, I
like it because I've never actually heard of them nor
(37:03):
their music. But now, like I said, I saw those
videos and it really it's one of those groups and
kind of artwork that they do that you kind of
want to share with other people that call you got
to check this out. You know, it's pretty crazy, but yeah,
it's good. Now I like this. I think they're they're
brand of style of genre bending. They kind of crossover
quite a few genres that are but what remains true
(37:27):
is they're hard fast, kind of like Dancy, you know,
full of energy, and you can feel that with this
song particularly, So Yeah, it's a good it's a good video,
it's a good song. Keep Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I love this video. That's why I picked this video.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
And it's one of those videos.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
That I'll forget it, like like a lot of the
commenters said on YouTube, you forget about it, and they're like,
oh shit, that's right, I gotta watch it. And you
watch it and then you're.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Like, oh yeah, it's not a fever dream.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
And it's just like there are these songs from a
couple of bands that are just like bangers, like that band,
Clinic this, you know this band. There are just a
couple of these like songs that are just like hit
for some reason, just hit you where you're you know,
you want to dance to them and it gives you
that weird you just you have to dance and nod
your head. And any kind of music like that.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
And then when you have a video that is outrageous
and crazy like this, it's just brings so much more
to it.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
So and if you've never heard them, their other videos
are really good.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Yeah, check out all their other videos. Are all good?
Speaker 2 (38:24):

fun funny, it's good.

Hello and welcome to episode one hundred and thirty five
of Throwback Music Video Review podcast, and tonight we will
be reviewing Danger Danger High Voltage. Bye, Electric Six. Danger
High Voltage is a song by American rock band Electric Six.
(00:54):
It was released as the band's debut and lead single
from their debut studio album five in two thousand and three.
You peaked at number two in the UK Singles Chart
and reached the top twenty in Ireland and the Netherlands.
The video for the song was directed by Tom Kuntz
and Mike Maguire and currently has thirteen million views on YouTube.
(01:18):
So fellas, welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Back, Hey everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hey, So yeah, guys, what is your history with Electric Six?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'll make mine very brief because I don't really, I didn't.
When Louis brought this up, I had no idea, never heard,
never heard any of the songs until we watch some
of the some of the videos. But no, man, I
can't believe it was I even around. This is two
thousand and four, three Lives I born. What was I doing?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Playing bands?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I think that's always happening.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I think that's that's what kind of happened because I
heard this song around when it came out. I think
it was also because I was I was actually still
subscribed to a lot of indie rock magazines. I think
that's how I would get a lot of my music
stuff from. But that's kind of how I think I
found out about them. And then I was able to
see the video. I was like whoa. And then all
their videos which are like oh whoa. They all have
(02:08):
reviewable videos. For a podcast like this, I think a
podcast could just do electric six videos and have a
pretty nice following up.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
You guys are club goers? Did you? Did they ever
play their music clubs? It seems like they would.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It's very I think I've heard this at the club before.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, I had never heard I've never heard this stuff
in the club.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You know. Okay, So for example, two thousand and three ish,
we probably frequented some West Hollywood clubs like Fusion, probably right,
And I can imagine them playing this this song.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I could see this there, I could see this. I
kind of like those weird one off clubs that we
go back to. And then also maybe Velvet it's a
very velvet coded song.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
But yeah, but you've heard gay Bar before, right, Yes?
Where did you hear that?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That was during the heyday of the beginning of social
media MySpace. That song was very popular, oh okay, because
it was actually ended in a satirical way, since the
Iraq War was happening around this time, someone did a
splice job of George Bush singing the songs of Electric
Six's Gay Bar and in context with the Prime Minister
(03:15):
UK at that time, Tony Blair. Yeah, and they're like
hinted that they're you know, they're going to go to
wharf in the gay Bar and back then, you know,
watching it, I thought it was hilarious. We just watched
it a few minutes ago and it's not as funny
as I remember.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It wasn't because it was very repetitive.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I think, yeah, that's what it was. But back then
the novelty was so new. I guess that it's like now,
we were so dulled by the constant barrage of Internet
humor that this is like amateur r now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Also, I was a White Stripes fan at the time.
I remember I got I think their first album, very
garage rock, you know, I was really into it. And
then I knew that Jack White sang on the song,
and it was still like a mystery, but it sounds
just like him.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The high pitch, the high pitch, Okay, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, yeah,
so that's really him.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I honestly thought that was that lady.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
No, No, it's actually first, but it was confirmed it
was later later on.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
He's actually Jack Whites on the I M d B
for the for the video, so he.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Was making up with Jack White. It's not him, his avatars.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They're in the Detroit music scene, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, the whole like Detroit music scene, so like the
dirt Bags and what's the other Detroit Cobras, and there's
like a big garage rock scene back then in Detroit.
But remember that garage rock was made to come back
before that huge. Yeah, the Vine and what's the other
one that we're all white and black.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
The Hives high yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So that was a big So they're all from Detroit,
these these Libertines, the Libertines. No, no, they're all from
all over the place.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But there was just like aa, they influenced that that
kind of scene.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, yeah, the garage rock revival bringing that kind of
sound back of.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Them had like the I remember that ye had the
Hives and.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah they had to look too, right, but even in
the Strokes, of course, the Strokes the first few, right, and.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
They were all kind of well, a lot of the
garage the real kind of garage rocky ones are really
like influenced by like the head Coats. They're really like
huge billy Childish fans. Who's like the main guy from
the head Coats and the mid and Yeah. So that
was like a just a real like a weird thing
that just kind of got big.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
At that time, right, Yeah, because they were from the nineties, right.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Because I remember what was it one of the White
Stripes albums is actually recorded in Billy Childishes. He has
like an all analog studio in the studio, and they
got in that album Holly Golightly sings on it, so
it's it was like it was a whole like, oh shoot,
Holly Golightly like and then the Broken the Broken Flowers soundtrack,
omber that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Bill Murray, Yeah, the Bill Murray movie, and then.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Holly Golightly's on the soundtrack for that too, So it
was just like a whole weird nineties garage rock.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What a strange period. It's crossing over the millennium right
the late nineties to the two thousands.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
And that was big like indie music scene, right, That's
when like there was a you know a lot of
indie record labels that were kind of big. Then it
kind of went from that to kind of indie sleeves
and and kind.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Of like the post punk revival.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Revival and disco punk and stuff like that too.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That was a whole music history.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, so I think that's how I kind of got in, right.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
They totally fit yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And anything dancy and like punk.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They have a pretty wide range of influences, right. Some
of their songs are complete. I mean, I guess that's
their kind of care free whatever sounds, whatever it goes,
but it's always pretty bang.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
You know, like, yeah, and if you're a band who
has twenty albums, it's gonna that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, he's pretty prolific, huh. But but nowadays though he's
just by himself. He doesn't really record with the rest
of the band.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, he has like a solo kind of well, I mean,
here's always I think he's always had kind of a
solo project. And he's also played with other bands.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They have like live musicians. Then I guess, I.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Think, but I think he actually plays with the Electric
six still.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I think they're they're still Yeah, they're still around, but
like does he just own the name, but they're not
the original?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I know it looks like some of there's some of
the same. There's people, but I mean past when you
look at their past Menabers list, it's it's wild. It
looks like, yeah, it's huge. But then he's also an
erotic noir book writer, right Valentine's he's come up with
(07:29):
Chinatown reach Around is one of his books. Glendale Glory
Hall is another book. So these actually they seem like,
I mean, they get really good reviews on good Reads.
I was reading the reviews on good.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Reads and then can you read some of those excerpt.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I'm not going to go off, but let me see
if I can remember some of them. It said that they
are very good noir books, great mysteries. A lot of fisting,
they said, and a lot of reach arounds. So you
know that's I think that's where his noir mind goes to.
And I think Chinatown Reach Around supposed to be a
part two of the movie Chinatown.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I don't know if the same. I don't know if
Jack Nicholson's characters in it, but I'll let you know
after I read it. I ordered it from my local bookstore.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I mean, I love adult chop.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's a un settling, you know, seeing him be interviewed
by kids in that one YouTube video, right, knowing that
he writes these.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Fiction, right, I mean, just because you write erotic fiction
doesn't mean that you're all right.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
So just just as you know, he's not.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'm not calling the other it's just that little these
kids know.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, let's get some content. We watched one of the
videos on YouTube of Dick Valentine being interviewed by two
eleven year old girls for it's called Kids Interview Bands
something like that. Right, that's that's the name of their
three followers. Yeah, very healthy following. But the thing is,
but he was very honest, he said, because one of
the questions was your a lot of your songs are
(08:58):
not appropriate for our for eleven year old. Also, right,
name three songs that are and then he was trying
to come up with him but he was struggling. He
was just fast catalog of music, too many to pick
Froim not.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
A pepo from his his fiction, his fiction, right, No, no, no,
you didn't talk about the literary talents.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
He was very respectful, but pretty funny with them. Right, Yeah,
these girls interview a whole bunch of bands that we
were trying to figure out, like which how they get
these bands? And where how is this happening? It's wild.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
They must be you know their parents would be connected
right somehow, and they're just like, hey, you know, our
kid is having it. If you want to sign this,
if you want to like this contract, you gotta do this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well, one of them, like they're hanging out the Flaming Lips,
was like, hey, right, I mean in backstage, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Wa, Churt Smith of Tears for Fears, and he was
just yeah, he was having a great time. He was
having a ball, so halpay to answer all the questions, right.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But anyways, very little electricics history, but I did. I
did give the entire album a listen the Fire album.
It's a good album, the first one.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
This first one, yeah, this one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And this is before even you know, the podcast was
even planned. I just had it and I can only
imagine that that kind of energy in in in the
concert situation show in the live show, you know, like
like imagine, you know, a small venue and that's kind
of music they're blasting. I'm that sounds like a blast.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
It's wild because at the time, I mean you watch
the videos, like they're huge in England and Australia, so
they play like Glass and Bury and stuff like that,
and like the crowds are going crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, look they have that high energy. Yeah, you know,
look definitely for like huge shows like that, you know.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Like they played gay Bar and it's like the whole
crowd like erupts into.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Insanity, like whoa. I mean the guitar riff, it's like
surf guitar kind of.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
It's very cool.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's so cool. Yeah, it is super catchy. Once in
a while, would get a Mojo magazine, they would have
ads or bands playing nearby. Electric six always there every
week that I was playing. From what I'm seeing, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Think they we just had a huge over there. It
was just one of those bands that just was bigger
there than here. Yeah, And they talk about it like
a lot of the interviews like how come you're bigger
here than you are in an America And he says,
I don't know you. You guys just love us and
we'll play the opposite or.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Like David Asslop in Germany right there, friends, all right,
it's bizarre.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, you know, it's funny that you say that. I
was listening to a podcast interview with Dick Valentine or
Tyler Spencer and he they asked him, like, what your
your music catalog is so vast, you have so many
songs and so many like influences. Who's your favorite band?
He's like, oh, that's really hard to he said, it's
really hard, but this might not be a good answer,
but they are when they are my favorite band, depeche Mode.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Wow, it's crazier.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And I was like, wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I can see that. I mean, how could you not
like all but for for him to be his favorite
band it's kind of we.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Know a lot of people that they would die for
that bad, you know, like they got their license play
freaking yeah. Yeah. The tattoos for sure.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I mean I got your pretty boy tattoo on my arm.
I think, hey, what's your name?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I know that they're like, especially in America, they were
bigger the mainstream more for the controversies like the Jack
White thing, buds, the Abraham Lincoln in the gay bar video.
I think was a big thing. The we want to
start a nuclear war because we were at a war
at the time.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
That was getting beaped out on the radio. That was weird, right,
Like I mean, now we bleep out so many random
like I mean, I guess they're offensive wars, but like
so like oh World three or what the World two?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, they were they know they put a whip.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that. I was starting to do
a whip. Sounded like, oh, that's what that was. That's
what that was.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
But do it again, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
I'm being hushed by by a Filipino teacher or something.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Their original name was the Wild Bunch. Yeah, and they
were going to get to my massive attack because that
was massive attacks originally.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Oh, they had a collective, right yeah, the Trip Artists collective. Correct.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
So that was like that was one of the things
that kind of like was a thing too. And then
also like they all went by stage names, was like
another big deal, you know. So it's like they were
bigger for all their weird you know, extricities than actually they're.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Very much like coin division. Sure, yes, you take that out.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
In that case. Back after these messages for already.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
I don't know why, but it's a yeah, it's not.
I think it's not the resistance. I think it has
low resistance. That's why it feels faster.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, okay, Ryan, the.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Last one here we go. Batteries convert chemical energy into
electrical jury energy. True or false?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Chemical false?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Nope, that's true. So when you have a battery, it's
full of liquid, so it's chemicals and it.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Really batteries have liquid. I guess that's why they leak
huh of it?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
And when you drive, when you when you drive your
car for a long time and you're you overcharge your battery,
it sorts of leaking water to prevent it from blowing up.
But now batteries are made they have jal in them now,
like the newer ones, the nicer ones, so it doesn't
really happen as much. But good job, guys.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All right, we'll be right back for the music video discussion.
Let's talk about the music video for Danger Danger Voltage.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
By the way, one of the things that I read
about him was he says that nine percent of their
songs are just about nothing. Hm. It's it's kind of
like you know when bands say it's just placeholders and
it just ends up becoming for them. I think that's
the that's part for the chorus, it's just whatever words
sound good. It's always about fire or dance or desire. Right,
(22:23):
So stuff like that, which I kind of get, you know,
kind of you tend to use the same kind of
verbiage right when you're writing your song, as long as
it fits right.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's why you can talk about that energy prolific and
have a billion albums.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
So as we speak, if it sounds good coming out
of his mouth while he's singing it and it's kind
of screaming, seems screaming, you know, it's it sounds kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Good, and yeah, he feels comfortable, like you know, he
you can hear him like liking singing that song.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
There's a certain flavor in Electric six videos, right, yes,
very much.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well a lot of them are directed by the same
directors too. Yeah, so there's a there.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Is a like he said this that very early too
thousands comed like very comedic kind of cinematography. That there's
something un ironically funny or like awkward or almost borderline
with that word absurdist. Yes, like I guess this is
the same director who does the old spice commercials.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh is it?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Really that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I looked because I looked up the IMDb of the director,
and he has like he has like he's done a
billion commercials, He's done a lot of music videos. Yeah,
but they kind of have that feel, you know. But yeah,
I've seen a lot of his, h you know, his
other work. It's kind of follows that kind of cinematography
of very articulated backgrounds, you know, very very ornate, but
very clean and classy looking. But there's something off about it.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah. Well the paintings were like especially done, right, They're
supposed to be made creepy, and you know, because just
the intro it's very reminiscent of what we do in
the Shadows. I love that movie If I Found in
Love just because of the intro, how amazing it was
and how it affected me, because yeah, it me in
(24:00):
so quick you right, and then it's very similar to
this where you you know that you're getting the groove right,
it's going, and then you you start seeing these really
strange kind of like and it's quick, so like, h
and it sticks. I want to see that again, you
know what. I'm trying to watch the video. So anyway
you kind of get that first.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's probably one big painting, but they're just flashing deep
of this painting.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, they actually made quite a few. Yeah, you can
kind of see it all over their walls and you know,
behind them. So so that's the set, right, and they
seem to be like this very i don't know, like
a noble couple or like almost like a British couple. Yeah,
in the you know, in the.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Countryside polo, but they're you know, waiting for to play
in polos.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Right. They might have like one of those big manners
like on the in the Countryside and then.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
The fox hunting, yes, the very next.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But they have this secret maybe life that they're a
part of, right, So maybe that's what I was kind
of that's the vibe I was kind of know.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
They have like a you know, they have a Fidelio.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Part heavy fetish parties that they're involved in.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Could be, but we don't really see that. We don't
see that, but you know, they they partake probably you know,
but they don't host it, but they probably go to it. Yes, right,
but what do you think about the glowing cod piece?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Right? Well, okay, so if you've never seen a big
part of the video, of course is them mostly doing
the singing, right, singing, and then the cod piece has
come up, and the female character wears the broth, also
glowing broth, but she's wearing pretty fetish kind of yeah,
like kind of where.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, Yeah, she's wearing kind of like leathery kind of
fetish where and he's wearing just like tweet or right
like hunting and she's what's her name, Tina corrac.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Never Yeah k a n a r canic.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Canaric rrect and she's like only has two things on IMDb,
which is this and then a short called Norma. But
she's like a British royal Canadian dramatic at an actress.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
So she's like a big on stage.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, yeah, so she was like pretty accomplished. She's doing
amazing in this video, esus.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Oh yeah, she's full.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
On yeah yeah, yeah, and she's singing the Jack White
parts correct.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yes, Oh, don't get me wrong. I thought it was
her too, Like, wow, that's cool that she's really into
it because she's a little bit older than him, right.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I don't know, like extreme kissing like make out sessions
here is makes me uncoverable after like you know, ten seconds.
This went on for like twenty five thirty.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
They do two of them too, They do the one
on the couch.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So that's the major part of the video, right, the moose, right, Yes,
they're on the moose on the couch. And what else
was the other scene where there were two scenes?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, they were There were the couch in the.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Moose, very long, intense, passionate kiss.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, you can tell this couple, like, you know, the
idea behind them is there.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know, it's fueled out because they have these parties
that we don't that they don't show in the video, right,
and they have the secret to.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Oh and then she also for the sex solo, she
plays the sacks.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes you have that phone, but that she actually played
the sacks, or she's doing like what Paul Simon did
playing the flute and yeah, he thinks can call me out.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
I don't think she plays. Yeah, but the art direction
for this video and some of the other videos are
it's amazing, so crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's one of the things. Since they like making videos,
you know, like the like very specific, very targeted videos.
I think it's funny because they it seems like they're
at least for him, he's always scaring, like hyper masculinity. Right,
all the characters are super well yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Gay bar he's Abraham Lincoln and he's working.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Out right right the whole right synthesizer. It's all like,
you know, like flaunting. Right, he's very this video, of course.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Let's not forget radio radio.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Radio is amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
He kind of likes to play that character, right, very absurdist. Yeah,
it's very confident, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It's that best kind of non apologize like old school absurdists,
where like you cannot break. If you break, it's going
to destroy the whole thing. You need't stay in the
character forever. This isn't SNL and someone's laughing on the
side of you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
He's going for long Jim Fall get kicked out of
this bad real quick, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
And I think that's the great part about it is
it's just going there, going full throttle. And then when
they start making out, you're just like wait what I know,
it's like wait what.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It's like, Okay, it's over now, Nope, there's no one
at it.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And then what's interesting too, I think is when you
see him as himself, I would assume he still has
a very kind of performative, you know, way of presenting
himself right, Like he's very good, he's very quick minded,
like quick witted with the way he speaks and talks,
but also entertaining, so like it kind of kind of
mirrors with the what do you see in him in videos?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I mean, he has a future in stand up comedy
if he ever wanted to pursue that.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
But I think the theater some sort of like like
performing the improv improv, yeah, because he can kind of
get into those characters for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It's like you to make up with someone for two hours,
Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
To the b huh in like the music videos. He
always goes full on with the makeup and the costumes,
and he doesn't look like how he looks in regular life,
right yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So wild looking synthesizer. You know, he doesn't look like
him at I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Even know if that's him, but he's got it to him.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
It's him. Has the video in the interview with the kids,
Remember he's like, oh yeah for my first, very first album.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Oh he says that, but it's a clean song that
they were. He didn't say like, oh, I'm the best
and you know looking guy in the just don't watch.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
The video of me naked playing guitar.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
But in the end, it's so hot that the catches
in flames, right yeah, yeah, the whole play painting paintings,
high voltage voltage.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Also sitting next to a fire, and then there's like
some like red dog statues too, and it's just like
everything is like.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
We forgot to mention that the moose also had a
glowing horse peace, right Is that? No, that's that was
the joke. You don't the moose also has it in
because yeah he does.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
We're so focused on the on on the humans.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
It glows. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
The moose is moose is glowing l good touch, good touch.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
So yeah, everybody's hearts are glowing.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, everyone's like fireflies. And it's so.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Wild how it looks like they're what they do in
shadows because the wallpaper and then all the taxidermy things and.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It's you think it. I could see him kind of
liking them the scene, you know.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, and then they're so big in Australia, right and
maybe New Zealand too, so I could imagine like like.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I want that one. I want that. I want that though,
that's my that's your.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Wow. No walked into u c V hair, but I
didn't have to pay the five I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
I'm doing his viago and I'm like, oh, could we
please talk to.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Could you please conjure him up?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I cat, I can conjure the cat that the painting
of the cat that was his face, Vlad remembering what
we did in a shadow where he becomes a cat.
But he comes like a poor looking cat. Yeah, it's
a badly drawn cat, like I can turn to a
cat but not very good.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Okay, but yeah that at the end, the video ends
up erupting in fire, and it's not too hot. It's
not too loud because your desire.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
They neglected the danger of the high voltage.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
You've been worn all the time.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
There's too much fire and desire.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
But I think it's the video is short, it's sweet.
The song is is short and sweet and just kind
of gets in and gets out and it's just.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Leads very impactful.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, it leaves you like, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You know exactly? I think that's the key, right, you
see that? And I want to see the other videos
because I wonder if they're always like this, this kind
of a comedic angle to it, because.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
You guys made it sound like it's a quick video
that those kids, those make ups, that's just last.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Years of intimacy.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, Like it's really like, I don't know, it
makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Because I have to question his own.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Yeah exactly the last time I did something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
All right, guys, we'll be right back for some notable
YouTube comments. All right, it's time for some notable YouTube comments.
All right.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
All right, So a lot of the YouTube comments, like
all of ours, is a lot of the same stuff
they talk about, the jack white of it all. A
lot of people bring up the taco bell. You have
to prove that up down to right. Yeah, firing the
disco fire on the taco bell, which is really funny.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
That's just you know, I've been craving ach Loopa taco
bell I haven't had.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
They're good and they're like amazing years.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, like you know, if we didn't need today, we
should have just during the taco bell right free podcast
in the taco about fire in our stomachs after I
fired a toilet. Oh my brand new toilet by.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
The way, yes, ill did get a new toilet. Just
nice flashing codpieces comes up and then the jack White
of it all. Okay, but there are some really good
ones on here right here. Booker Jones of forty nine sixteen,
I come back through this every now and then then
just to check that it wasn't as I wasn't hallucinating
when I watched this video. Jesty oot at thirteen forty
(33:34):
four said, the fact that this song made it number
two in the UK charts is still one of the
few things that makes me proud to be British number two,
number two. And they played on they played on like Jewels, Holland,
and they played on everything top of the pops. It
was crazy. And then this one. Chris Disco says, back
when videos were made wholesome and the whole family.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Can enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Things.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
There's another funny one. Things you can't look away from
the car accidents in this video. And then a bunch
of just taco bells are all over the place, a
lot of taco bells. But it's funny, man, like this is.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
You would think taco bell would be. You know, I
can talk about sponsoring.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I mean that that was this is the era of
the of the chihuahua, right.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Right, and this video came out. Maybe they couldn't pay
for both.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, you can only play either a chihuaa or electric six.
I don't think you could do.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Both electric six meal combo or something, right, Yeah, six
dollars combo that you get a taco bell, right, Okay,
So guys, danger danger, high voltage. Would you keep it
or would you throw it back?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I'll go for it.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, you know, I'll keep this video.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
You're so sick.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And in my mouth from watching the just making a
big deal because you know it's that is that is
how I remember his video biased.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
The because I think that was the point yes, the
extended length.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
It is, you know, like I'm so used to watching
movies where that's just what three second stops. This one
is like just goes off and they're like eating each
other's faces. I'm like, that's like I've never seen anything
like that on a music video, even contemporary movies.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
It's you mean, like porn movies like Sliver, erotic thrillers.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, like Sliver with the Baldwin. Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
You're pure, like hard singing, but you're like, but porn,
you know, please don't kiss that hard and long.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's too hard, because I guess it's just the the
certain elements that you don't expect that the medium of
music video. I guess this is like this kind of
intimacy of just eating each other's faces is I mean,
I guess that's the art, right, that's the art of it.
And then you know, I get it. It's funny. It's
really funny. She's going at it. You know, these two
(36:05):
people have huge age gaps and just you know, like
if I saw him walk together walk by the street.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I won't think they're you're so ageous, you.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Know, but you're right.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's like the point is the point.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
That's why you're talking about it now exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Yeah, the video got me. So that's why I'm keeping
it because it is a very provider.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
So they did warn you twice danger dangers.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Imagine the protons conducting around here.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Imagine if you were at a taco ball and two
people were making out like that in front of you.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Oh it's over, it's over.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
At a disco, I could see that that's happened a
bunch of times at a disco.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Take to go, please, But so keep hi. Yeah, well
I'm going to I'm going to agree with al and
I will also keep Now there is a nice slice
of early two thousands comedy, musical comedy. You know, I
like it because I've never actually heard of them nor
(37:03):
their music. But now, like I said, I saw those
videos and it really it's one of those groups and
kind of artwork that they do that you kind of
want to share with other people that call you got
to check this out. You know, it's pretty crazy, but yeah,
it's good. Now I like this. I think they're they're
brand of style of genre bending. They kind of crossover
quite a few genres that are but what remains true
(37:27):
is they're hard fast, kind of like Dancy, you know,
full of energy, and you can feel that with this
song particularly, So Yeah, it's a good it's a good video,
it's a good song. Keep Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I love this video. That's why I picked this video.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
And it's one of those videos.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
That I'll forget it, like like a lot of the
commenters said on YouTube, you forget about it, and they're like,
oh shit, that's right, I gotta watch it. And you
watch it and then you're.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Like, oh yeah, it's not a fever dream.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
And it's just like there are these songs from a
couple of bands that are just like bangers, like that band,
Clinic this, you know this band. There are just a
couple of these like songs that are just like hit
for some reason, just hit you where you're you know,
you want to dance to them and it gives you
that weird you just you have to dance and nod
your head. And any kind of music like that.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
And then when you have a video that is outrageous
and crazy like this, it's just brings so much more
to it.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
So and if you've never heard them, their other videos
are really good.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
Yeah, check out all their other videos. Are all good?
Speaker 2 (38:24):

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering.
