I really can't figure out why it's so good. It just is. I think a key part is that they took a serious song and pulled it off really well with appliances and weirdness. But the juxtaposition of the three guys - one professional and deadpan, one basically Animal on percussion, and one who seems like he's on meth - also works perfectly. And I love the drama before that first hammer hit, which may be the best single moment of the video.

I laugh every single time I watch this thing.
