Swimming in Favorite Music Video Tracks: "Skeleton Boy"

To combine the categories for a stellar video AND song, I am highlighting the song, "Skeleton Boy", by Friendly Fires. I found this some time last year and was hooked from the first explosion of snow-fetti-whatever-that-stuff-is. The video is artsy (of course!) and reverts to one of the great music video styles: film the band in a single room with shit happening to them. They have only their faces shown as they are wearing black bodysuits against the black background. Slowly the snowfetti starts to build up on them and reinforce the title image. This all speaks for itself, but it's a fun video, and if anything should be pointed out, it's the singer's hilarious and awesome dancing. You think he gives a fuck? Anyway, the video, the song, it's all good old-fashioned fun.
