My iPod #180: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cheated Hearts

It is 2006 again, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs release their new album "Show Your Bones". MTV2 were really happy that the band had returned. It was three years since YYYs released their debut, and the channel dedicated a day to the band by showing the video for "Gold Lion" every hour.

But this post isn't about that song. No. Obviously. It's about "Cheated Hearts". Fast forward a few months later after the album's release, and the video for the new single was being shown quite frequently.

The band appear in it for a few seconds, but it is mostly made up of clips of fans who are imitating them. They make a real effort of it too.

MTV2 censored a part when some dudes look like they are using an iron on someone's back, and when the same three people each show the 'fuck off' sign to the camera, even though they are meant to be symbolising the YYY sign. It was all very strange.

But yeah, the video would play on the channel and I eventually grew to like the song. I present it to you now.
