Montt Mardié | “High School Drama”

“High School Drama” – Montt Mardié

With all that caked-on make-up, the lad here looks uniquely sub-human in this video. Is he real? Is he a robot? And the leading lady’s not so attractive, either, looking incredibly awkward throughout the whole sequence. And since I have your attention, friends, allow me to rant about the use of speaking parts in songs: unless you’re Tom Waits you can’t pull it off, and you’re going to do a good job at making me cringe. The pointless high-school banter in this song is totally cringe-worthy, whether it’s done tongue-in-cheek or not. I’m scared.

However, let’s look past the awkwardness of this video and the spooky spoken word bits and let’s just get down to the dancing and the pure bubble-gum goodness of this song. For that, I’m willing to forgive.

Sweden’s got me again. Guh. I’m so predictable.
