However else you feel about Coldplay, you'd have to be a pretty big hater to refuse to admit that their videos are usually pretty entertaining affairs. Coldplay's newest clip for Viva La Vida track, "Strawberry Swing" is a pretty fantastic affair, with Chris Martin donning a cape and tights, resucing a damsel in distress, and doing a lot of other stuff in between. You can watch it here.
This video was directed by Shynola, who's also directed videos for Beck, Blur, and Radiohead.
This video is not smart and much less original. The concept was copied from a video made by a Mexican rock? band called "Vaquero." The name of the video/song is "Sunshine." You can look it up and judge for yourself. Colplay's video has a lot more visual effects but the concept is the same. This is not original.
