I Don't Like Mondays "Perfect Night" (Yusuke Tanaka, dir.)

[Official Music Video] I Don't Like Mondays. “Perfect Night” 

If you've been in a meta mood in the wake of Capitol's clever "watch the video commissioners dance" video, then this video for Japan's I Don't Like Mondays is definitely for you. We're on a video set and the director knows something isn't working, so they put aside their RED camera and try some old-school options: 16mm film, Betacam and VHS. When none of that yields the desired results, we move on to fanciers tricks, like a GoPro Bullet Time rig, a Phantom slo-mo camera, drones, special dancing shows, green screen, mustaches and, when all else fails, nudity.

Alas, nothing works. Although the miniature horse is cute. And, this may be the most attractive crew you've ever seen on a set.
