If Hot Chip was a boyband...

The video for Hot Chip track, I Feel Better - directed by comedian Peter Serafinowicz - offers a glimpse at what a performance by the band might be like if they were a synchronised-dance-happy, four-piece boyband...

Apparently, director Peter Serafinowicz provided the voice of Star Wars baddie Darth Maul.

Loved it! And love Peter Serafinowicz – best thing in ‘How Do You Want Me’.
It disconcerting to see that the only difference between a synchronised-dance-happy, four-piece boyband and a synchronised dance-happy, five-piece electroband is a bit of graphic design and some geeky specs. Arf.

Peter Serafinowicz is brilliant. I've loved everything he has worked on, a true comedy great.
You can tell he had a hand in the making of this video, very amusing and ever so slightly bizarre.
However, the song is awful. I was not too keen on Hot Chip before this release, and this song has confirmed my dislike for the band.

Love it. Somehow I think the irony will be lost on the average music TV watcher however. Should be a big hit then.

I find this to be a very odd collaboration- Serafinowicz is so much better than this :(

Wow even more irritating than the real thing

I think a Cunningham video or van Lamsweerde would have done it a lot more justice...
But performance-videos are naff anyway... wether parodies or intentional...
