Beirut should win honors with this vid for ‘best depiction of mustachioed debauchery set to a ukulele-accordion waltz.’ The clip’s preview pics had us expecting some fancy threads, S&M poses, and ticker-tape confetti, but the ensemble’s dance moves (save Zach) are an unexpectedly excellent touch. So is the can-dragging beachside stroll and festive elephant trunks (just watch) all making this the best clip you’ll see all day. (He’s finally drink legal, kids, so the wine bottle is legit.)

I’m not a fan of synchronized dancing but I. Love. This. Song.
i am kind of in love with zach condon. but that mustache is sick.
Does anyone else feel that Mr. Condon is destined to create some very special, powerful music during his time on earth? I just get the sense of hearing his music evolve, even with just the very little available. I think he is going to wind up as one of the most poignant musicians of his day before his career is over. At least, that’s my opinion.
i love this song but that video is, how they say, “the suck”
That is a kick ass mustache!
I love this director…She is amazing
ya – alma im your fan!
like any good escapist film, this video is one that makes me wish I was there… the song reminds me of a hell of a great time, and i have the visual to coincide with that fact.
beautiful.
i agree with rogerniner…i wish i was there with them…i love this video…but just one question: where has zach’s moustache gone?
I want that horn SO BAD it hurts.
overall, the video is very pretty and fitting for the song – rihanna and her umbrella should take note.
Very cool!!!
I love it.
Enchanting.
And the song is absolutely gorgeous.
he looks like a young jeff tweedy at the end
yeah, nice fluglehorn! very festive video. he only has a mustache for part of it tho
