Video: Kanye West: "Good Morning"
The video for "Good Morning", from Kanye West's Graduation, starts with an alarm clock going off and ends with a graduation. Featuring the animation of Takashi Murakami, the clip also shows the stuffed animal from Graduation's cover art brushing his teeth, hopping into his DeLorean only to have the damn thing break down, running to catch the elevated train only for the door to slam in his face, and finally racing across a football field full of fearsome football players just in time to receive his hip-hop diploma (wearing those goofy Kanye shades, of course). The video is apparently only showing at the Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, which explains the wobbly YouTube footage. I'd like to say the clip's protagonist is like the fly Teddy Ruxpin...I just can't think of a way to finish that sentence. Guess that's why they pay West the bucks to buy "any jeans necessary."
