The Teenagers: Make It Happen (Video)

3:00 p.m. · May 30, 2008 · by Andrew Winistorfer

The video for The Teenagers’ “Make It Happen” makes the case for the band not as vacuous Frenchmen hell bent on making a new version of misogynistic cock-rock, but as hilarious 70’s disco appropriators. Or even a self-serious version of Flight of the Conchords (minus the Bowie references). The band looks concerned rocking among the stars, geometric patterns, women’s faces and a city skyline. The whole thing reeks of some kind of inside joke that only the band knows the punch line to.
