Music Video Mayhem is just a long winded way of saying I found a pretty awesome music video online that I want to share. Today's video is Atomic Tom covering Human League's one-hit wonder "Don't You Want Me Baby" for the upcoming film Take Me Home Tonight.
For those unfamiliar with them, Atomic Tom rose to popularity towards the end of 2010, when a video of them playing their single "Take Me Out" on their iPhones on the New York subway went viral.* Here they do little to change what made the original song so great, but someone manage to make it sound more modern, which is a good thing.
As I mentioned, this video is part of a promotional campaign for the upcoming 80's set movie Take Me Home Tonight. The movie stars Topher Grace, Ana Faris, and Dan Fogler (the guy from Balls of Fury). The music shows the stars at a party paying homage to a number of classic 80's films, and there are some pretty great bits, especially from Topher Grace. The sad part is that the actors seem to be having way more fun here, than in any of trailers I've seen, which doesn't bode well for the movie.
Take Me Home Tonight comes out March 4, 2011.
*A special thanks to Mr. Ian Kitchen for posting that video on his Facebook back in...I don't know, let's say November.
