I legitimately think it might be the best video on the Internet.

Several years ago, my company did a lunch activity where we shared youtube videos that we enjoyed. I commented about this and said that everyone has probably seen it so I wouldn't share, and I was shocked that no one knew what I was talking about. So I shared it, and it was the hit of the party.

I don't know what I like better. The cheezy $200 guitar sound, the 1970s kitchen appliances being beat to shit; the matching track suits or their bare asses hanging out. Somehow it all fits together perfectly.

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.
