Alt country stalwarts Old 97s and Battlestar Galactica seem to have nothing in common — ok, the show's Cylon sexpot Tricia Helfer is apparently friends with Old 97 frontman Rhett Miller — but here they are in the same music video and it goes together just fine. Director Keven McAlester lays out a tale in which a sci-fi dork out for a nighttime ramble happens upon a posh party where Ms. Helfer is working it on the red carper. Armed, of course, with a copy of a Battlestar Galactica fanzine, our zero heads up to the velvet rope in hopes of an autograph only to be summarily rejected by the doorman. With that fantasy foiled, he goes for an even bigger flight of fancy. He imagines crashing the club to go all Kill Bill n' shit on the various scumbags inside before sidling up to his dream date for a little romance. As if it needs to be said: Not a fracking chance. --> watch "Dance With Me" plus a Making-Of/Stunt featurette at YouTube
