Speaking of superheroes, over at yyys.com, they’re having a casting call for the “Cheated Hearts” video. (Via Jason):

WE NEED YOU! OUR FANS to be US… the YEAH YEAH YEAHS.

We want to see what you would do if you were playing us in our video for “CHEATED HEARTS” off our new album. We know our fans do it like no other, now’s your chance to put us to shame.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Send it on DV TAPE
2) Dress the part!
3) Blast the music in the background and play or sing over it…
4) Get lost in the song make it YOURS.
5) Got guitar? mic? drums? Use’em! Got no such things? Fake it, use what you got around the house, be resourceful yeah!
6) Do as many performances as you need, we will edit it! Try and make them different: FULL BODY, CLOSE-UP, MEDIUM, FROM THE SIDE, inside, outside, etc. Do the Nick, do the Brian, do the Karen O.
7) IMPORTANT: AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR PERFORMANCE SHOULD BE AGAINST A WHITE WALL, or sheet. SO DO IT ONCE IN FRONT OF A WHITE WALL AND ONCE ANYWAY YOU WANT. 8) SEND IT TO US, DO IT QUICKLY….YOU WILL BE BIGGER THAN THE SOUND.

You’ll be bigger than the Sounds too. Anyone have any ideas? A fire pit is probably not recommended.

    do it quickly? sorry, i’m not dating spike jonze, this is not feasible.
    can i just film their album on a turntable and smash it with a hammer?

  6. No love for Karen O? I love for Karen O. But anywho, I think it sounds interesting; hopefully it’ll be nice. Keep an eye out for me?

    this is great, i can now send Karen O my video of me dressed up as her performing lewd acts and bypass the restraining order!!
    at last, i’m legit.

    remember what happened when bjork solicited for videotape?

  9. Junior Senior did the same thing too.

  11. What happened when Bjork solicited for video?

  12. the idiot  |   Posted on May 31st, 2006

    A crappy video resulted.

    Good times, good times.

    What’s even more amusing is what Buckcherry’s doing.

    After this video showed up on YouTube, they started a contest for fans to start making their own videos for the song.

    Now, that actually sounds like fun…in a train-wreck kinda way. Still beats doing the Karen O anyday.
