By now you've probably heard the Phoenix song "Lisztomania," and you've probably seen the Brat Pack tribute video that hit the Internet soon after its release, but it's always worth another few hundred listens. Leave it to a bunch of Brooklynites to create a tribute to the tribute. How delightfully derivative! That's right, here, contained within the same 4 minutes and 16 seconds, you get hipsters, '80s nostalgia, graffiti, rooftops, the Manhattan skyline, the Water Taxi, and dancing dancing dancing.

I had never heard the song before and I wish I didn't see it with that obnoxious video accompanying it. Yes, we've all seen the Breakfast Club before, thanks.
I really hate it when stereotypes come true....
ugh
Not really nuts about either of the videos or the song. Thanks anyway.
That was fun!
looks like a gap ad.
Nicely shot. But the music doesn't do anything for me; the garbled lyrics doesn't help.
I hear the Pentagon is considering using this video on Guantanamo as an alternative to waterboarding.
Does every group of hipsters require one chubby asian girl?
As opposed to one hot blond, one hot brunette, and one hot black chick, which is what you are used to from your MTV/Clear Channel brain washing formula?
Did I say Gap ad? I MEANT iPhone ad. Duh.
oh my god how annoying. I stopped it halfway through. Morons.
Didn't pay attention to the video so much, but what a fun song! Thanks for switching me on.
Fuck the 80's.
