One of the best songs of the year is matched with the best video of the year.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Cheated Hearts"
Backstory: YYY requested fans to submit homemade videos for the song earlier this year. For the link-handicapped, these were the rules:
WE NEED YOU! OUR FANS to be US... the YEAH YEAH YEAHS.We want to see what you would do if you were playing us in our video for “CHEATED HEARTS” off our new album. We know our fans do it like no other, now's your chance to put us to shame.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Send it on DV TAPE
2) Dress the part!
3) Blast the music in the background and play or sing over it...
4) Get lost in the song make it YOURS.
5) Got guitar? mic? drums? Use'em! Got no such things? Fake it, use what you
got around the house, be resourceful yeah!
6) Do as many performances as you need, we will edit it! Try and make them
different: FULL BODY, CLOSE-UP, MEDIUM, FROM THE SIDE, inside,
outside, etc. Do the Nick, do the Brian, do the Karen O.
7) IMPORTANT: AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE AGAINST A WHITE WALL, or sheet. SO DO IT ONCE IN FRONT OF A WHITE WALL AND ONCE ANYWAY YOU WANT.
8) SEND IT TO US, DO IT QUICKLY....YOU WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE SOUND.
