Gnarls Barkley - Gone Daddy Gone :: Video

From the Genius Types archive. Originally published January 6, 2007.

Here is a very creative video for your weekend entertainment.

Gone Daddy Gone, by Gnarls Barkley is a remake from the original Violent Femmes song made in the ’80’s. They say that things in the entertainment industry come back in style in twenty year cycles. I’m a huge Femmes fan and happy that Gnarls brought it back.

This is a good example of creativity as a communal act. Gnarls Barkley has put a new spin on an old favorite and has given proper credit to his influences.

The graphics in this video are really tight, and the story flows well in the three minutes of the song.

Enjoy!
