For some unknown reason, Coldplay have decided that they would like to be puppet heroes to elementary school students (at least they probably don't know the "You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Coldplay" routine). The video for the band's "Life In Technicolor II" is set up just like a live performance (with roadies and a large runway) but with puppets, and climaxes with a bunch of kids holding up the Chris Martin puppet so he can crowd surf. Less lame than a typical Coldplay video (namely this one), but this clip is still pretty cutesy. 

"Life In Technicolor II" is on Coldplay's Prospekt's March EP, out now. [Stereogum]
