Bastille "Of The Night" (Dave Ma, dir.)

If you were subjected to a eurodance floor or a late night pop station during the early '90s then you were probably subjected to "Rhythm Is A Dancer" — a song so catchy it'll never leave your head, even after you're dead.

And that, my friends, is your hint for what to expect in deadly serious (but oddly fun) video for Bastille's overhaul of the song into something a bit more weighty.
