Song of the Day: November 16, 2015 - "I Wanna Be Your Man" by Yukon Blonde
I've had this song stuck in my head all week, actually since I got the album it earworms it's way in, but after the stellar show by Yukon Blonde (and Hey Rosetta!) on the 6th, it's been there, cheerfully singing its way through my brain.
And now we're got a video for it!
I honestly had NO idea what was going on in it...but luckily the director, Mac Boucher (who did their video for Saturday Night as well) explained it all:
"[The video] playfully makes fun of the male gaze and traditionalism. Satanic symbolism and the de-robing of religious uniform denounces the role of some patriarchal figurehead. The chopping of wood and digging of holes represents violent penetration compared to the rhythmic movements in the peach orchard...it's supposed to be a video that looks beautiful, is edited with humour, and makes absolutely zero sense to the passive observer."
I'd say he nailed it!
