DMW: Digital Music W...: That Bouncing Man in the White Suit (a.k.a. Goldfrapp's "Happiness" video)

That Bouncing Man in the White Suit (a.k.a. Goldfrapp's "Happiness" video)

So the video from Goldfrapp's latest single "Happiness" has made its TV airing in the UK.

For a looksee, catch a glimpse:

or if you prefer the version from MySpace TV without channel tattoos (and yet crappy audio)

I really like the video and Alison & Will getting to dress up and having some fun in character.

**UPDATE as of 4/6/08**
The video was directed by Dougal Wilson (who also worked on the "A&E" video). Interesting that no one at Mute wanted to confirm or share that info when asked about a week ago. Go visit Colonel Blimp's site for the director's comment on what the video was based on (apparently, Peter Wolf's video of "Come as You Are" was also inspired by the same MGM musical).

And contrary to what Pitchfork wrote, the video was not shot in one take. Really.

For a Quicktime, clean, HQ playback, try watching the video on Colonel Blimp's site.
