I love Goldfrapp's sense of humor. This is like one of those shitpost videos that you send to one of your friends with no context, to have them respond with "what the fuck".

Astute observation!

Someone really deserved an award for this music video, and if MTV still actively only played music videos (old & new) this probably would’ve garnered the exposure it deserves.

The song and video are all very much a tribute to this scene / song from Xanadu: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGV4yqydd7HbpZs.html

i just started listing her music, and i'm a huge fan of the 80's, so she's got me, love her already,

So this is now 10 years old. I feel like at the time this look and sound didn't quite strike a chord with the public. But it would be perfect right now. This was a bit ahead of the curve.

The studio was literally ON FIRE with this banger playing!

Love this video and song. Goldfrapp makes great pop music with subversive twist to it.❤

This is the greatest music video ever created.

😲. Holy Smokes. Vampire Jazzercise and black metal fans doing aerobics? Unbelievable. And their blood is sparkles ✨,glitter ✨, and rainbow 🌈.

This is the kind of amazingly weird and awesome music video that should be shown at the end of a theater screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show....

Olivia Newton John, you're correct. About Kiss, not really, wrong reference, the corpse paints are not those of Kiss, but a more extreme infamous music : black metal, known for the various stories, including satanism, murders, church burning, hate, and stuff.

so camp and over the top I love it!

This video is for all who were dancing in front of their closet door mirror to 'Xanadu' (on vinyl, of course), while their little brother picked a stereo war from the next room, blasting KISS on his new boombox.

for flipp sake!! Could this be any more awesome. Come on....a neon coffin. Shear neon joy!

The contrast in this video is pretty damn brilliant. Kudos, Goldfrapp.

ABBA as DISCO VAMPIRE!

Black metal dancers, amazing voice, beautiful concept how did I not come across this sooner.

80's!

If Goldfrapp had actually gotten together in the 80's( and they could have,late 80's anyway) this would have been number 1

I just love Goldfrapp's videos

Twilight's Flash Dance! So 80's XP! Just Loved it!

Loved the late 70s early 80s and vampires!

Alive and Rocket are my favorite songs on the Head First album 🤗

It's like ABBA, Olivia Newton John, Kiss and Madonna all rolled into one. I like it.

This is true 80's kitsch, both funny and cool. Thanks Alison for being so awesome :)

Still listen in 2019 :)

I love this, So Xanadu meets Early 80s chic *****

Yes, it's totally Olivia, from the Xanadu soundtrack. They even named it Alive, just like the ELO track on said album. 💖

Nah, that would be all too obvious for those guys. They're much happier finding a two second clip in which Bowie (for instance) has his fingers crossed which, you know, just goes to prove beyond any possible doubt that he was actually a radioactive lizard being controlled by Satan to sow the seeds of destruction, or a clip showing Lady Gaga with 6 peas on her plate, and heck, you know where the number 6 can lead, right.

Wow, Goldfrapp has really amped up the camp in the videos on the new album.

Love this album.

whenever i see this now with the lady vampires taking out the metal dudes in a pentagram like witches at a sabbath, i'm like "girls' night!!!"

Special remedy for a good time.

I'm returning to Goldfrapp after a LONG break and discovering what I've missed. I wasn't sure about this but I stayed for the metal corpse-paint dudes, and I'm SO GLAD I did. Back in the aughts I was very into Goldfrapp (and was lucky to see them live, in Portland, at the most stripped down show I've ever seen). When Seventh Tree came out I kinda lost interest... I just wasn't ready for it. The past week I've been listening to the stuff I loved before and everything I've missed since. It's been amazing (and Seventh Tree is fucking fantastic).

This is ELO af!! Xanadu will never die. I love it!

just discovered this album and i'm in love. vinyl reissue next plz

All Goldfrapps videos are clever, with underlying themes. I like the fact in this one that there are the pretty strong occult suggestions, via the pentagram and those rockers in cowls etc that something supernatural is going to happen, then we get this boppy sounding disco beat and bright colours, girls in leotards etc before they all turn into vampires and feed! The clues are all visually there at the start for how this is gonna end, but its still a bit disturbing when it does!
