Back from a brief break spreading the News, BTW TMTS offer a follow-up to the “Lolita” clip with a shot of “Yucatan Gold.” This one features a lot more Scott Reitherman, with frenetic editing to match the under pulse, frame speeds flipping from half time to double. The band is very busy doing nothing, which is probably fair since this song is all Scott, in instrumentation and sexual confessions (OK by me, it’d be a different sort of video if they all thought she was a crazy animal when she screams).

Here the statue is thrown:
