&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;TV on the Radio's &amp;lt;a href="http://www.papermag.com/2014/09/tv_on_the_radio_happy_idiot_seeds.php"&amp;gt;dance-y new single&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, "Happy Idiot" has been given the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Funny or Die&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; video treatment. The race car saga stars Karen Gilan and Paul Ruebens, AKA Pee-Wee Herman from the &amp;lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKcYGOIJhqo"&amp;gt;trippy kids show&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; -- with puppets and all -- that was totally meant for stoners. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;The "Happy Idiot" video has the same campy spirit as &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Pee-Wee's Big Adventure&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;, although there's no opportunity for Ruebens to lament that he's "&amp;lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKLizztikRk"&amp;gt;A loner Dottie, a rebel&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;," as he drives through the desert alone. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Watch the video for "Happy Idiot," above. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;
