I Heart Dragonette’s Latest Vid

September 21st, 2007

Every once in a while there is a video that comes along where I think, “Wow – that’s pretty good.” I had this reaction when I saw Dragonette‘s “Take It Like A Man.”

It starts off with lead singer Martina, in a dressing room, taking off her wedding ring, wearing a great cherry necklace and denim cut-offs. What proceeds is a fun, cheeky 70′s romp on a porn set. I’m all over the subtle gender role reversals and the not-so-subtle sexual imagery. It obviously rips off Boogie Nights, but it does it well.

Also the clothes are fantastic. I mean, there’s a 70′s inspired American Apparel popping up on every street corner nowadays – Dragonette has captured quite the trend.

The song is pretty damn good too.

Even though I love this vid and will defend it to the end, I realize that it may be slightly offensive. Does it go too far?

See for yourself: Watch it here.
