B-52S FUNPLEX MUSIC VIDEO WITH GOTH LOLITA AND MALE ARISTOCRAT DANCERS.
Quick – name the most unlikely place you’d find two Goth Lolis and a male Gothic Aristocrat. How about a gargatuan CGI shopping mall, flanked by members of aging New Wave band The B-52s?
Screen captures don’t lie. In late March, the band debuted the music video for the single Funplex. Reader Gloomy did a double-take at the three mallrats who get into a scruffle with security but end up dancing frenetically with them. Their quasi-Gothic Lolita clothing isn’t entirely non sequitur; the song features Japanese ding-ding-doonging and the lyrics do reference “fashion frenzy.”
Squint for the Harajuku youths yourself in the The B-52s’ new video. I love the classic vocal exchanges between Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider, but to me, the song lacks the bite of “Rock Lobster” and “Private Idaho.” What are your thoughts?

I think it's very cute that they put the youths in there. And I have to agree with you about the song but I still think it's a lot of fun. It's great music to get dressed to.
thanks for posting it

Dear Miss Yuen,
Yes, I have seen the B-52's new music video called, 'Funplex”. It was on VH1 network when it debuted on the top 20 charts show. It was cool to see some goths in the music video, but I didn't know that one of them was a goth-lolita. I read the newsletter about it.
