Same here. But apparently the real reason is we haven’t read enough Pitchfork or seen enough Napoleon Dynamite.

As I mentioned above, I watched (as much as I could stand of) the video with the sound off, and she still looks…not good.

[QUOTE=mswas]  
This is just so obvious to me. I can’t believe people can’t understand that this video is EDITED, and there is not ROOM REVERB on the song so it is OBVIOUSLY edited in. You can tell because it’s separate camera angles, that’s your first clue.

Uh, yeah, I think we all know the video was edited. :rolleyes: No one here has indicated that they believed otherwise, but thanks for pointing out the obvious to all of us anyway.

All else [pales](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGAUTADn47U) before this. And all you gotta do is “Go Like This”.  
Stay seated if you can.
