Electric Six are promised another attention-grabbing video to accompany the single release of their cover version of Radio Ga Ga. Directed by Kuntz and McGuire (who also worked on the band's 'Danger! High Voltage!' and 'Gay Bar' videos), we're told the new video "is an overdose of mind-warping surrealism. [Frontman] Dick Valentine is accompanied by an army of luxurious poodles playing instruments, drinking in a bar and clapping - you know, all the things that poodles enjoy doing in their free time. As for the dynamic ending... you'll just have to experience that to believe it!"
On the band's decision to release their version of 'Radio Ga Ga', long a staple of their live set, Valentine admits: "It wasn't a big hit in America so we thought we were doing one of the more obscure Queen songs and were patting ourselves on the backs for that, thinking we were doing a prime cut."
Radio Ga Ga is released on 13 Dec, with a new album set to follow in Jan.
