Cee-Lo Green: "Fuck You" (Video)

New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down (Kermit the Frog - Video)

Average Rating: 7.33

 

This video for LCD Soundsystem's "New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down,"  2007  smash Sound of Silver's soulful album closer, enlists some serious help from perhaps the most soulful performer still around, who originally told us the difficulty of being green in a black/white world: Kermit the Frog.

 

There's definitely kicks to be had at seeing the confused tourists in Times Square watching what was being filmed, and probably wondering why some guy was stooped down on the ground, with his hand up a muppet's butt. Watch a higher quality version of the video here, and make sure you watch the whole thing. 

 

Note: This is an unofficial video for the song created as a fun project by friends of the band.

Can't stop playing it. Resonating sentiment, longing for grittier, more soulful past..

I can totally relate with what this song says. New York was incredibly annoying. I'm glad Flava Flav eliminated her from the show

Why would they take that video down, when it's clearly drawing attention to a great song? I'd not have heard it otherwise. Bah

@cal: Same here. If it wasn't for this article being posted on Digg, I wouldn't have heard that song. Record executives really are clueless dumbasses.
