Hmm, I would've gone the John Hughes route. Or at least stuck to Black Kids' mis-under-estimable charms and done something lo-fi that people would forward to their friends. In any event, the indie-poppers from Jacksonville, Fla., now have a video for the new single version of "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You", which originally appeared on last year's Best New Music-stamped Wizard of Ahhhs EP. A fanciful streak runs through Black Kids' songs, from their playful self-regard to the way they toy with sexuality (among siblings, no less!), and that's what this clip lavishly indulges, throwing together Enlightenment-era wigs, laser fights against a colorfully animated backdrop, and, um, actual cheerleaders doing the song's cheer-like shouts. The song itself, at least, remains pretty un-fuck-with-able.
