Music Mondays: MGMT - Unofficial Video

Today's Music Monday is more about a music video than the actual music itself. I am sure all of you have heard MGMT's summer hit "Kids" (and if you think you haven't, you'll most likely recognize it when you hear it). Maybe you have even seen the video that I am about to show you. What you may not know, is that this video, that has been watched over 28 million times on YouTube was actually made by a group of students (who never dreamed it would take off the way it did), and is completely unofficial. You can read an article on them and the video here. While personally, I am a fan of MGMT and love their first album I never quite liked "Kids" - that is, until I came across this video. Now, it has somehow grown on me, and the video feels so perfect to the music, that every time I hear the song I see the video in my head as well. I don't know why, but it somehow brings back many memories from when I was growing up. (And it probably does help that I find the girl exceptionally cute). Anyway, not only I was impressed by this work of art: MGMT liked these guys so much, they featured them in their next videos - this time officially.
