Given that I have a fairly obscure and eclectic musical pallette, I am shocked when I learn that a song I love, all scratchy from a poor quality record, suddenly finds itself paired to a decent quality music video on Youtube. Sometimes tying “Cardiocleptomanie” in a google window is well worth it.
What an odd lineup — a Sophie Marceau lookalike, a guy who resembles an even geekier and receding-hairline-afflicted Elvis Costello, and a woman who resembles a younger version of Sharon Gless (i.e. Cagney from Cagney and Lacey), playing a Yamaha synth, bongos, and shouting only one glorious portmanteau: “cardiocleptomanie!”
The live performance leaves out the fantastic “woo-woo-woos” that the original recording contains, so I have also attached the MP3 for you to listen and download.
Because it’s just that great and you will download it, right?
