This is my first Song of the Moment, where i'll pick a song that's not a Flashback that is stuck in my head.
Although posting too many YouTube videos slows down the loading of the page, I have a lot of videos to comment on right now and couldn't leave this one alone. It's the new video for Rilo Kiley called "The Moneymaker". Both the video and song throws away Rilo Kiley's image as cute, tasteful alt country rock darlings and replaces it with Courtney Love style sleaze complete with a moaning chorus and porn star actors. The song video is causing controversy both for it's lurid approach and forced sounding funk complete with 80's power ballad bridge section. Though I miss the indie style they sported on More Adventurous (2005) and don't think "The Moneymaker" is a great song, it has stuck in my head for the past few days. I guess shakin' what your mama gave you pays off!
