MGMT Makes It Official: The "Kids" Video
By David Hershkovits
"Kids" by MGMT is undoubtedly one of the big hit songs of recent memory. In an included statement with the release of the song's video, MGMT reveals to us that this is the first song the band ever wrote, on a cold February day in 2003. The band claims that this track has "proven to be some kind of monster with a life of its own. Both as an albatross and a plate of mac and cheese with fake bacon." That said, the video is as convoluted as the process they describe. A click on the link will also guide you to two more remarkable songs and videos from MGMT.

Good video. I hope the band makes lots of money, so they can pay for the decades of therapy that that kid is going to need (for being forced to wear a headband). J/K--seriously, those monsters might give ME nightmares! Freaky! lol
