Coldplay's "Violet Hill" Sister Video Shows Us Politicians Can Feel The Beat Too
Artist:
Album:
Track:

So yesterday when I was searching for Coldplay's 'Violet Hill' video on YouTube I kept coming across this other video tweaked to the tune of the single. It was a montage that made politicians look like doofuses -- George W. has been edited dancing to the tune while Tony Blair plays guitar in time.

I thought this was some uber-Coldplay fan just making their own video to the track that had been picked up by a lot of people, thus spawning a little Internet phenomena. Turns out it's actually the second official video for the song directed by Mat Whitecross. (I was schooled.)

I like it better than the band video, but it is fairly obvious. Amusing nod to the end of Dr. Strangelove at the end there.
