New Peter, Bjorn & John - Hey (Shut The Fuck Up Boy)


The video for the new Peter, Bjorn & John song, Hey (Shut The Fuck Up Boy), hit the internet early last week and everyone was immediately creeped out by the rhythmless, masked dancers. I think the paper eyes are the most abnormal aspect of the video. If eyes are the windows to your soul, then those motionless eyes are one sided windows, attached to paper cut-out masks, worn by horrible dancers. But enough about the awesome(?) video, the real reason I doing this post is the even awesomer hook. PB & J, always masters of crafting perpetually danceable beats with little more than their drum set and a random instrument (sometimes it's a bass guitar, sometimes it's a pair of maracas, this time it's a simple woodblock), have outdone themselves with their brilliant hook for Hey. The hook brilliantly combines profanity, primal mating rivalry, and alcohol fueled jealous the into the perfect sing-a-long for long family road trips.
