It was nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for Breakthrough Video. In the UK, there are two different versions of this video, the second replacing the violent conclusion with repeated clips from the previous section of the video, but it shows the confetti falling onto the band. The music video contains some mockery of horror in general instead of blood, there is red glitter and confetti and Karen O keeps singing while decapitated. The video then ends with the band having been murdered while Karen O continues singing, her head severed from her body. He then proceeds to chase after the audience and kills most of them. A light flashes halfway through the music video and the werewolf transforms. It features the band playing in a (presumably) underground venue when a dancing werewolf whose dancing is reminiscent of Michael Jackson (who died four days before the single was released) appears on stage. The music video for "Heads Will Roll" was directed by Richard Ayoade. The song is built around a vintage sounding string riff, which was sampled from a Mellotron sound card: "Roxy SFX 2" from the Mellotron M4000D Sound Card 02. The remix has over 166 million views on YouTube. Ī remix by Canadian DJ A-Trak appeared in the film Project X. The song is sung from the viewpoint of the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The CD and 7-inch singles were released in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2009. RIP MJ." Heads Will Roll" is a song by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released as the second single from their third studio album, It's Blitz! (2009). This does seem to be the case for MJ in his career, as he was termed Wacko Jacko, accused of molestation among other things, everything just went downhill for him. It's understood that when there's a full moon people are crazier than usual. Goes crazy on the music industry, the masses and just kills everyone. My own thoughts at the end of the video is that MJ reaches a breaking point when the light shines on him/full moon and he just looses it. "Shut your eyes" because "the mirror lies" - deny that you're a robot of the masses. "Looking glass, take the past" I suppose look at yourself in the mirror see what you've become and accept the past. ![]() Seemingly, forgetting at the same time the concealed truth about this fantasy place. Than Karen as one of the entertainers, yells "off with your head!" And instructs the masses to "dance till your dead", just loose control on the dance floor and use up all your energy for that one purpose till you die. ![]() "The men cry out, the girls cry" cheering for the entertainer or replacement saviour, as we often idolize stars more than we do real religious figures. She repeats this lyric twice this toward the end and it sounds like she's accusing the people "you're all dead." "You're all cold/you're all chrome" suggesting you're hard on the outside and empty/lifeless on the inside. Meaning this world is all dirty, it's a lie. However when she says "the glitter's all wet" and the "river's all wet", it sounds like, it's all wet from blood or.it's all mucked up, because later on in the video the glitter which was originally silver (on the drums) becomes red when the people get chopped up. The wolf in particular is their key entertainer, king of kings in the music industry = Michael Jackson.Īnd this mystical world is painted in "glitter" and "silver", seems very nice and dandy at first. They're part of the same kingdom/music industry. Notice her outfit resembles that of the Queen of Hearts, all red, as is the wolf's shoes. Going to venture that Karen is an entertainer for the 'kingdom,' as is the wolf aka MJ. Hm okay going to borrow some thoughts here, definitely seeing the Alice theme. ![]()
