‘I Feel Better’ by Hot Chip

March 18, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Music Video

I’ve been a big fan of the new Hot Chip album One Life Stand and this video for the song I Feel Better has to be one of the most ridiculous but amazing music videos I’ve seen in a very long time. It starts out by mocking a boy band concert, then some bald, glowing prophet floats in to the shock/horror/amazement of the fans. But then the starts destroying the guys with… ok this is just too insane. Seriously you need to just watch this video and be prepared to laugh. This is absurdity at it’s finest.

Anyone know who the bald dude is?
I’m guessing it’s some dude only English people know.

I don’t actually have a clue who the bald guy is.

The video is directed by Peter Serafinowicz though, one of the funniest guys on earth. He was the voice of Darth Maul and his twitter is a must-follow.

I don’t know about the bald guy, but the floating head with laser eyes looks strikingly similar to Roland Martin on CNN.

The bald guy looks like Steve Coogan from Hamlet 2.

Reminds me to download the album as it sounds so good.

The bald guy is Ross Lee. He was in Look Around You, which is a pretty wonderful show that Peter Serafinowicz (who directed the video) co-created: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVagUIaVATk

I read somewhere it’s Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip. The rest of the band are in the audience. Alexis, when image searched, looks a lot like the bald dude, aside from, y’know, the hair.

“I don’t know about the bald guy, but the floating head with laser eyes looks strikingly similar to Roland Martin on CNN.”

I was thinking the same thing.

The bald guy is Ross Lee. British comedian.

@Isaac – I love Look Around You, but it must have been Season 2 only, right?
