This is a video for Rob Zombie's "Never Gonna Stop (the Red Red Kroovy)"
The song and video are inspired by "A Clockwork Orange". It ties in nicely with the Stanley Kubrick kick I've been on lately, and lemme tell ya, watching it on magic mushrooms was a... dense, compressed, outrageous... experience.
Rob Zombie is newly one of my favorite artists. Not because he writes tender, evocative songs like Björk (far from it), but because he has fun doing what he's doing. When someone is having that much fun, it's hard not to enjoy watching them. He is in on the joke, and he's having fun with his life.
An interesting linguistic side note, there are several words and phrases from the movie in the song, and imagery from the movie in the video. It's very fun. The only puzzler for me was the phrase "red, red kroovy" (also from the movie) which, when I stopped reading it and started "hearing" it (after watching "A Clockwork Orange" again, just the other day, where it's plain that it means blood), I realized it's not kroovy at all. It's cru vie. Raw Life. (The life is in the blood)
Right, Eliane?
