In talking summer fest season, Arctic Monkeys bassist Nick O’Malley talked “Fluorescent Adolescent” with NME, saying, “It’s a bit of a summer hit that one … we’ve been playing it all across America. When Alex says, ‘This next song’s “Fluroescent Adolescent,”‘ you just hear loads of girls screaming. It seems a really female-friendly song…”
Which is probably why the Sheffield lads took a left turn and set the track’s debonair Strokesian air to a sorta funny, sorta wtf romp involving vigilante clowns and extended car scenes; not sure what facepainted pugilists have to do with getting it “in your fishnets,” but that cute flashback may hold some answers. Also, recognize that ending?

ARCTIC MONKEYS ALWAYS HAVE BAD VIDEOS THIS ONE INCLUDED. IT’S NONSENSE.
I recognize little Monkeys Alex & Co. as the kids in the flashback photos. Must have been about 5 years ago.
Oooh the main clown is the scummy man – how clever.
