If sexy never left, then why is everybody on Justin Timberlake's shi-i-it? That's J.T. as goofy, "Yo! MTV Raps"-ready old-school throwback introducing the first video for Gnarls Barkley's follow-up to 2006's St. Elsewhere, the forthcoming The Odd Couple. Directed by filmmaking team Happy, the clip shows the duo of Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse performing their soul-style, horns-emblazoned new song "Run", as a TV audience of dancers shake their daisy dukes in the background. Get ready for plenty of dizzying special effects, and a retro vibe that feels like it reaches as far back as Austin Powers' 1960s despite all the day-glo colors and Timberlake's "That was crazy fresh" shtick. Man, I never noticed how much that dude sort of looks like Screech. (via MTV's Subterranean blog)
