Danger Danger!

A few years ago, while on YouTube, I remember watching a video whose title was 'Gay Bar.' I'm not sure how I came across it, but for one reason or another, I felt as if I shouldn't watch it. As if there was some force judging me peering over my shoulder. 

Now I'm over it. :) I featured the same band here on The Archenemy about a week ago, and it's coincidence on how it came about. When writing, I usually play a song over-and-over, and when I forgot to rewind the video, I saw the suggestions and I was like, "Oh, that looks cool." And while hearing it, I fell in love. Seriously.

Best thing I've ever seen since M83's video. I think what does it for me is the facial expressions of the women in the black leather. Her name was Tina Kanarek and she was 70 when she did this video. Brave lady to do this... when you think about the bra they made her wear.

From their 2003 album Fire,  the Detroit-based Electric Six with "Danger! High Voltage" with supporting vocals from the White Stripes' Jack White.



Don't you want to know why we keep starting fires?
It's my desire/ It's my desire/ It's my desire

Danger! Danger! High voltage!/ 
When we touch/ When we kiss.
Danger! Danger! High Voltage!
