Ok, so the Kings of Leon video for “Sex Is On Fire” is out (via Stereogum, via MySpace) and since certain people have been blasting this song in our ears lately we opted to watch it.
The only word is perplexed. Our hunch is this is a terrible video that makes us think of what extreme religious people might do when they’re scaring the devil out of you or something. Also, what the hell does “sex is on fire” mean? Is that UK slang for burning venereal disease? And another thing, why does this song remind us so much of the Foo Fighters?
All that said, we’re still kind of mesmerized by the video. Maybe it’s because we spent the whole time waiting for something to happen. Maybe it’s because we’re not clear on why singer Caleb Followill (love the new haircut) burps the black monster from Lost. We’re gonna mull it over some more, let us know what you think.
