[tps_header]Illicit substances may have been a factor in conceptualizing this DOPE creation: Tame Impala’s The Less I Know The Better video[/tps_header]
We’ve all felt that the person our ex went on to date after us was a Planet of the Apes cast off, so in this sense Trevor the Gorilla is the least bizarre aspect of Tame Impala’s The Less I know The Better video. Where this video earns WTF points is with an off the charts degree of not-giving-a-fuck-ness. The Less I Know The Better is one of those catchy songs that upon your first listen sets up shop in the back of your mind, refusing to leave until you sing the hook about a thousand and two times. With its allusions to cunnilingus, nude-psychedelic oil painting and gorilla leaping through a flaming hoop the video is just as dominant on the visual spectrum. The video drills itself deep into your eye-sockets, implants itself inside your sub-conscious and dances along the border of ego and id.
