"I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)"

Video: Pissed Jeans: "I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)"

Beware the ice cream man. He's the devil. And he's the awesome. These are some lessons of this Monty Buckles-directed video for Allentown, Pa., hardcore quartet Pissed Jeans' "I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)", a noisy, moaning rocker about feeling bad, eating ice cream, and feeling better, off of Hope for Men. A girl takes the dastardly ice-cream dude's frozen treat, tastes it, and suddenly she's got Pissed Jeans in her stomach, which is way less advisable than pissing your jeans. Pissed Jeans singer Matt Korvette howls into an orange microphone, wearing a gray tank top, but it's hard to see him or the band too well because the camera knows they're in somebody's rumbling innards. In the end, Pissed Jeans shuffle off like nothing ever happened, and then pose for a hokey family photo with a cute dog. They've still got you Spike.
