Mute Math Do It Ass-Backwards On Kimmel

“Typical”? More like a-”Typical”! Whoa! Bad joke. But props where props are due and all that, we stacked Mute Math at #3 on our casual but totally definitive list of history’s greatest backwards videos of all time forever and ever for “Typical.” A few months later, the MM guys wanted to make an impression with the tune on Kimmel, which they did last night late night. No, no Bonnanude streaker (NSFW, kids); the Math went and recaptured the magic of their YouTube smash by recreating the backwards…um…ness of “Typical” in Jimmy’s studio, shot for reversed shot. Sorta cool to see the results, but sorta hilarious to see how not into it the crowd is. Think about watching a backwards video being recorded live; it’s gotta be like Blue Man Group gone bad, less the blue.

We know, you’re over Bonnaroo — and after a few more dust-scraping showers, we will be too. But the TN fun did yield some bits we didn’t get to post for internetty reasons (tough to upload video without a stable connection!), and others like this photo set that came in from reader loudbeatz last night, depicting the hotly-tipped Mute Math streaker in all his muscle-flexing glory — after the jump for the NSFW set.

Best Backwards Music Videos Of All Time

With Mute Math’s “Typical” getting so much YouTube love for being shot in reverse, we thought we’d put together a list of our all time favorite backwards music vids. They’re all pretty cool — duh, they’re backwards! — but we feel strongly about our #1 pick. It was competitive eater Hirofumi Nakajima’s sixth take!
