Blood Sugar Love

Speaking of supremely artistic videos…The Real Tuesday Weld deserve a lifetime achievement award for outstanding contributions to the fine art of video making. Has anyone else thought to make a video with singing maggots in it? Didn’t think so. Maggots aside though, how many other acts have produced such an excellent series of videos in a relatively short career span? Not too many. Stephen Coates takes seriously the possibilities of the music video as its own artistic statement. As for writing lyrics? I’m pretty sure he’s singing “life is good when you’re filled with blood.” A truer statement was never made.

Hotness. The song is a wisp of nothing, just a vehicle for Bardot’s star power. She’s no singer, but that was never the point. The point of the video is the video. It’s highly artistic, in a swinging sixties way. The theme appears to be clockwork, to judge from the ticking sounds and wheels turning imagery. Golden gladiatrix  costume earns full points. A celebration of beauty for beauty, shall we say.
