WATCH IT: Yeasayer "Madder Red" (Andreas Nilsson, dir.)

The bald hairy rotund slimeball dating the hot young starlet is classic Hollywood. Director Andreas Nilsson's tale for this Yeasayer video is similar to that, but blown out to full wackiness with an actual hairy testicular-shaped creature capturing the heart of actual starlet Kristen Bell.

Andreas Nilsson, director: "I had a friend who worked as a shepherd. One day after work at the pub he told me a story. He had delivered a sheep. But the sheep was highly deformed. It looked like a huge hairy testicle with just a small mouth, one eye and a leg. The little guy wasn’t a stillborn; he was waving nervously with his little arm, like he was saluting the world, celebrating his arrival. ‘Hello world, I’m here.’ A colleague of his kicked the sheep, smashing into a wall, sadly his life took a quick turn.

It was a heartbreaking story, a story about not fitting in, and cruelty of life. I’ve wanted to do something based on this character for a while. Yeasayer was the right moment". [source]
