All the little pieces: the mother tightly braids her daughter's hair, but her fathers let it be loose and free; the way the hero stays up late reading with him while she was going to sleep without noticing anything was wrong; the laser pointing directly at the hero's penis; the eye color on the hero changes from brown to blue once he's married; the henchmen in the background nodding and smiling when the two finally get together; the villain's uniform is finally unbuttoned when he's at the dinner table with the hero (and the hero is wearing a matching color turtleneck); and where he wore his uniform to bed with his wife he is in a robe and pajamas with his husband.
The look on the wife's face during dinner is some of the best acting ever. She's trying so hard to make him happy, then realises it is hopeless. Expressing all that without a word is the pinnacle of acting.

I like that the random minions are 1000% on board with their bosses romance with the enemy. They don't argue at all when he lets him go. Don't even blink. and when he comes back to dance? they're 100% on board with helping the beat and area all individually giddy with the hand taps. They were shipping them.
This may sound rather repetitive but have you also noticed how not only are his movements more fluid, they're more continuous. In so far as he switches from normal to dancing back and forth at the beginning, whereas he's always dancing in the second half.
@@jebusjebus8152 I think it's because the Bond-alike actor is a pretty good dancer and he was able to follow his partner instead of having to thrash it out solo. It also works in character so it's all good.
having a shaky hand as the bond character starts to respond to the villain's advances, what a good touch. i'll never not be able to come back to this song and enjoy it like its the first time
That part where the villian turns around and smiles so happily after the captive comes walking towards him melts my heart, he looked so happy and that makes me happy
I also love how supportive his minions are of him at finally realizing his feelings. They all keep following him, no issue, even bopping along to the beat.
@@youarepu3 so I checked, the villain actor name is Adam Jones, and the spy is Edward Hayes-Neary. really hard to find much on Adam Jones though ... :/
The way the villain's face lights up at 2:30 always melts my cold steel heart. He's so happy to be reciprocated. I think that's the most relatable human condition, we all just want to be accepted and loved.
And the Wifes emotion at the table is the polar opposite and just as excellently expressed --- Like she knows SOMETHING is wrong but doesnt know know what or cant fix it
When I'm feeling down I come back here. I practically giggle when they start their Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers routine, it's just so fun. The music is good and the video is just adorable, not to mention excellently produced. The artefacting of the film is just *_chef's kiss_* material.
I also noticed this! I havent seen any 60's spy films so I didnt know how to put the feeling into words, but the colors do a great job of setting the tone. In the villain's lair everything has a grey/blue hue to make it cold, but during the family scenes everything is more saturated, and the whites have more orange to feel warm

I really like this video, and feel like it could easily be adapted into an actual movie. A super villain develops a crush on his nemesis (A James Bond style secret agent), and slowly falls in love with him over the years. For a while, the villain is depressed, and his wife somehow finds out the reason. She realizes that she's losing him (this is shown by how her expression changes at the dinner scene). Eventually, the super villain discovers that his love isn't simply one-sided, as he had previously thought, and so he and the agent hook up. The villain (who had been under the impression that his original marriage was a completely loveless one) files for a divorce with his wife, so that he may finally live a happy life (with his partner). The wife disappears for a while, but eventually resurfaces as a new super villain (one who happens to be much more effective than her former husband... Mainly because she has motivation, and is determined to complete what she set out to do), taking the seat on the council that her husband had previously held, and making it her mission to take out the agent (under the guise of wanting to finish what her husband failed to do, but in reality, she truly loved her husband, and is filled with an immense hatred for the man who took him from her).
8 years ago .. today is August 10 2024 i still listen to this .. This song gave millennials and other generations so many good memories. Would you not agree? ))
At least the bald guy supports good working conditions. Work ends on the clock, no unpaid overtime even when work is ramping up, good security, nobody seems to be overtly unsatisfied with their job, though it is an underground lair it seems to be as well kept as it can be. Solid 8/10, would absolutely work there, maybe needs some PPE for the hot zones but other than that looks like a fulfilling place of work.
Safety railings on everything above the ground floor too. Compare and contrast with those lethal walkways on the Death Star: the Empire should really have been unionized.
I mean, you get dancing routines for every hero the boss kills, and there's a remote chance there might be a turnaround and you get to witness a new love blooming. Who wouldn't love working there?
It’s such a perfect touch. That and the henchmen starting to get in to it in the background once they start dancing around. Like “Heck yeah boss, you finally seem happy!” Love it!!
Truly, all the best romances start from interpretative dance, a torture table, and supportive background minions. (Love that one cheeky soldier who sings "ooh" and gives a smug smirk like he's been shipping these two together for years and his OTP has just been confirmed.)
from a film perspective this video deserves all the awards, from the cinematic look and feel, to the angles and the old film look and colour pallet used its perfect in every way , the edit is fantastic, its well acted and the song and video are a match unlike most seen now days … its just nice to see real effort put into some videos now and again...
I don't know if it's just me, but whilst the production values are high, it still feels very grounded and indie (in a good way.) It kinda feels like something that, if you really wanted to, you and a couple buddies can make. You can just FEEEL the passion radiating off of this video.
@@michaelralphs5593 I can agree with that, I make music video as well and yes with passion, a few good friends and at least a few bucks for lighting you can make some magic happen ….but this is solid, like the throw back colour is amazingly well done etc …. so I mean they def knew what they were doing … the quality of the video is just mind blowing from a film perspective ...10/10 will watch again ….and again ...and again lol...
@@michaelralphs5593 Oh no no. This production value is crazy. Color grading alone is crazy. Feels super retro. To make that retro look come alive the set design and color palette is also super crazy! To me this music video is more difficult to do than most flashy pop music videos with lots of effect and blooms. Cinematically everything needs to be in Sync to make this. add: I'm no expert but I can wrap my head around making most of the commercial music videos. But this one is beyond me.
For real, I was thinking the same thing. I had to come back and re watch this after a few years, and it did not disappoint! This could easily be like a mini movie with all the little scenes.
The immediate mood shift when 008 finally shows how he feels about Prof. Non is beautiful. They both switch from disjointed, jerky movements to a perfectly synchronized duo routine. Made me smile.
My sister asked what happened to him in the end and my answer was they got married and they were happy and she goes "Adorable toxic relationship" I died
The boss is asking because nobody in the history of movie supervillains have stopped the good guy for long. The answer is simple. You just marry them. the
This is one of those songs you see in your recommended and not think twice of it, but then later you actually listen to it after hearing it somewhere, and then it's one of your new favorites
The part where he releases him, only to find out that the captive is in to it, and then the villain turns around with that pleasant smile - simply brilliant. Best video ever.

it is such good acting by the wife. the look she gives him at the dinner table just fully expressed the realization and hurt and she knew he was lost. anyone?
Exactly, so many emotions in just that one look, I might be a little bit biased 'cause I love this song and the happy little dance at the end just floods me with serotonin but this is so well acted. 1000/10 would Genghis Khan again.
Yeah absolutely, she mastered it. There is sudden realization, fear, and confusion all at once in her face. Fascinating how these subtle expressions can show such a profound moment.
Ok so when is Miike going to release part two so that we can watch the epic dance-off between the three of them? I would literally pay to see that. This music video has the appeal of a movie in 4 minutes time
There is actually another Miike video featuring these two...from memories it's less hopeful. They play two PM's of opposing nations..but they still dance.
This director caught my brain waves and translated them directly into video form. It's funny, energetic, absurd, joyful, even a little sad. The romance is beautiful. I've watched this silly thing more times than I'd like to admit.
In the 2nd video, where she gets revenge: same ending. Kiddos have two daddies and a mommy, all under one roof. Also, they are in high school now and attracting their own [notspoilingit]friends! (Too bad there's nothing to spoil because if there's a part 2 for this vid, I've not seen it. Alas.)
This is probably the most expressive dance routine I’ve seen in any video at any point. You can almost see everything he is feeling throughout and it’s awesome.
Check out Christopher Walken's dancing in the video for Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim. Similar in how the moves are so expressive, they're almost dialogue.
I've watched this video how many times? And I JUST noticed at 1:28 the scientist henchman in the background *swivels around* to "Oooo" at the camera lmao
1:05 His wife's face during that table setting moment? It speaks of so much pain and her trying beyond herself? Sigh. Love it. Give that actress an award immediately please! She's unbelievable! 💕
This is legitimately one of my favorite music videos ever. So unexpectedly wholesome. And the only flaw is I feel awful for the wife being tossed aside like that but then she gets her own cool ending and I'm just. So overjoyed.
He has a job so of course he gets custody. If you notice that the kids look a bit happier with Spy Dad, the girl has her hair down and out of braids. The boys hairs look freer too.
I haven’t even thought about this song in ages, but randomly woke up last night with it stuck in my head. My favorite part by far is the red light and buzzer at 5 pm. The Evil Lair is closed until tomorrow at 9 am. Stop your evil lasering until tomorrow and go home to your “loved” ones. This isn’t you, this is just your day job. That’s when he really stops and asks himself what he’s even doing, and why.
@@lxindustriesofficial Obviously. I kidnap and laser people because that's what I do, because I'm evil. But I run my lasering on strict shifts, and when it's 5 PM it's time to stop lasering. Otherwise I get hell from the Evil Lasering Union Local 42. You can't even imagine the cost of insurance for a gigantic laser murder cavern. Not only is there health and safety, and general liability, but what if I do something foolish with it like laser my arch-nemesis? His family would sue me for $100M. Far better to, well...
I have never actually watched this video until right now, and I just can't say how much I regret all the times I have listened to this song and not watched the video. It was better than I could have ever expected.
It's been 4 years Miike Snow. Where's our damn movie.

+Stimpyfied i thought it was worth a second listen, but really it's the video that pulls everything together
I like how everyone goes home when it's quitting time, shows that he abides by union rules about reasonable hours & overtime. He's a super villiain, not a soulless corporate CEO
7 years later and I'm still coming back to this. One of the greatest music videos of all time.

Perfect music videos enhance the music so heavily, it becomes difficult to listen without!
but but but gayyyyyyyy
O.o
I really like this video, and feel like it could easily be adapted into an actual movie.
A super villain develops a crush on his nemesis (A James Bond style secret agent), and slowly falls in love with him over the years.
For a while, the villain is depressed, and his wife somehow finds out the reason.
She realizes that she's losing him (this is shown by how her expression changes at the dinner scene).
Eventually, the super villain discovers that his love isn't simply one-sided, as he had previously thought, and so he and the agent hook up.
The villain (who had been under the impression that his original marriage was a completely loveless one) files for a divorce with his wife, so that he may finally live a happy life (with his partner).
The wife disappears for a while, but eventually resurfaces as a new super villain (one who happens to be much more effective than her former husband... Mainly because she has motivation, and is determined to complete what she set out to do), taking the seat on the council that her husband had previously held, and making it her mission to take out the agent (under the guise of wanting to finish what her husband failed to do, but in reality, she truly loved her husband, and is filled with an immense hatred for the man who took him from her).

Is miike snow ever going to release a follow up to this. I need closure it’s been years.
There was closure
Ghengis khan 2: bitches be crazy
Actually been it's been 2 months
No it hasn't this song came out 3 years ago...
Miike Snow have split up sadly.
8 years ago .. today is August 10 2024 i still listen to this .. This song gave millennials and other generations so many good memories. Would you not agree? ))
At least the bald guy supports good working conditions. Work ends on the clock, no unpaid overtime even when work is ramping up, good security, nobody seems to be overtly unsatisfied with their job, though it is an underground lair it seems to be as well kept as it can be. Solid 8/10, would absolutely work there, maybe needs some PPE for the hot zones but other than that looks like a fulfilling place of work.
He helps set a comforting and safe environment for his workers by dancing
What a good boss
Safety railings on everything above the ground floor too.
Compare and contrast with those lethal walkways on the Death Star: the Empire should really have been unionized.
Support works: *OOOooo*
I mean, you get dancing routines for every hero the boss kills, and there's a remote chance there might be a turnaround and you get to witness a new love blooming. Who wouldn't love working there?
The super villain follows the Hank Scorpio School of super villainy! :)
The handshake and walk down the stairs on 2:24 is such a small scene but it hypes me up like nothing else
My fav part of the video
It’s such a perfect touch.
That and the henchmen starting to get in to it in the background once they start dancing around.
Like
“Heck yeah boss, you finally seem happy!”
Love it!!
Dude what is it about that part the way the music is perfectly timed as well love it
100% agree
thats how i dribble in basketball when my crush is watching
Truly, all the best romances start from interpretative dance, a torture table, and supportive background minions. (Love that one cheeky soldier who sings "ooh" and gives a smug smirk like he's been shipping these two together for years and his OTP has just been confirmed.)
Hell yeah, that one guy! One of the best parts of the video!
You are my hero omfg
Where?? I can't find the cheeky soldier... :(
Eleanor at 1:39 you can find the soldier
yess love the cheeky henchman
1:10 honestly shoutout to her. The way she portrays a wife who is smiling yet concerned is perfect.
from a film perspective this video deserves all the awards, from the cinematic look and feel, to the angles and the old film look and colour pallet used its perfect in every way , the edit is fantastic, its well acted and the song and video are a match unlike most seen now days … its just nice to see real effort put into some videos now and again...
I don't know if it's just me, but whilst the production values are high, it still feels very grounded and indie (in a good way.)
It kinda feels like something that, if you really wanted to, you and a couple buddies can make. You can just FEEEL the passion radiating off of this video.
@@michaelralphs5593 I can agree with that, I make music video as well and yes with passion, a few good friends and at least a few bucks for lighting you can make some magic happen ….but this is solid, like the throw back colour is amazingly well done etc …. so I mean they def knew what they were doing … the quality of the video is just mind blowing from a film perspective ...10/10 will watch again ….and again ...and again lol...
@@michaelralphs5593 Oh no no. This production value is crazy. Color grading alone is crazy. Feels super retro. To make that retro look come alive the set design and color palette is also super crazy! To me this music video is more difficult to do than most flashy pop music videos with lots of effect and blooms. Cinematically everything needs to be in Sync to make this.
add: I'm no expert but I can wrap my head around making most of the commercial music videos. But this one is beyond me.
@@michaelralphs5593 100% the vocals that give it that touch
For real, I was thinking the same thing. I had to come back and re watch this after a few years, and it did not disappoint! This could easily be like a mini movie with all the little scenes.
the way the villain's face lit up when he saw the guy returned is so precious wow
Get your self someone who looks at you like that.

8 years since this music video was posted and I'm still utterly fascinated by it.
The immediate mood shift when 008 finally shows how he feels about Prof. Non is beautiful.
They both switch from disjointed, jerky movements to a perfectly synchronized duo routine.
Made me smile.

I love how his face lights up once the villan realises bond is into him as much as he is.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
I know lol. It literally lights up his face and I'm living for it.
This is one of those songs you see in your recommended and not think twice of it, but then later you actually listen to it after hearing it somewhere, and then it's one of your new favorites
Exactly 🎉 feel the same way
Literally my exact experience
i love how supervilliany is his 9 to 5
The part where he releases him, only to find out that the captive is in to it, and then the villain turns around with that pleasant smile - simply brilliant. Best video ever.
And the wavy hand thing as he walks down the stairs.. perfect choreography
@@elhollins5988 Stimming :)
lol
Even straight guys can find that part at 2:15 charming and satisfying.
This is the beauty of reconciliation. (for example, when the two parts of your brain stop fighting, or when siblings make up...)
This 4 minutes music video has a better romance story than like 99.9% of movies
True
REAL
Totally better story than Twilight. Yes.
You should watch more movies smh
I know a guy who’s misoginistic and rap3s women he had this song on his playlist and many years people assumed he was into men but he is separated from his gf and has a son….
I came here to check out the video
He listens to all kinds of abba Madonna music etc lol😅😅 no disrespect to anyone’s sexual preferences but he is raping women and I think he’s in the closet.
I need to understand this video more, help?
This is probably one of the best music videos to come out in the past decade
it is such good acting by the wife. the look she gives him at the dinner table just fully expressed the realization and hurt and she knew he was lost. anyone?
💯
Exactly, so many emotions in just that one look, I might be a little bit biased 'cause I love this song and the happy little dance at the end just floods me with serotonin but this is so well acted. 1000/10 would Genghis Khan again.
Yeah absolutely, she mastered it. There is sudden realization, fear, and confusion all at once in her face. Fascinating how these subtle expressions can show such a profound moment.
You know, when I hear, "I get a little bit Genghis Khan", I imagine that you'd want to conquer Russia and part of Asia. But this works too.
Sure, Russia and Asia...OF DAT ASS!
nah they just want to conquer eachothers assholes
I mean, maybe he _did_ conquer Russia and part of Asia in an attempt to gain Agent Spy-man's attention. That might be how he lured him to his lair...
@@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist Well that is what I would do
I mean didn’t Genghis Khan have a gazillion offspring with hundreds of women?
I loved the ''if you love someone set them free if they come back it was meant to be '' moment
Glad to see this is back up it was blocked in my cuntry for 4 days
Ok so when is Miike going to release part two so that we can watch the epic dance-off between the three of them? I would literally pay to see that. This music video has the appeal of a movie in 4 minutes time
There is actually another Miike video featuring these two...from memories it's less hopeful. They play two PM's of opposing nations..but they still dance.
Check out Pull My Trigger by Miike Snow, the Marilyn Monroe character is very attractive
I think the dance off is in Moonraker
You mean part three? This one is part two

2:34 LOVE how supportive his employees are. I bet there was a betting pool for this. I bet ALL of them went to their wedding.
Trouble goes, do they all turn up to grooms side or split into grooms and grooms sides?
All of them?
happy pride to exactly this music video
This director caught my brain waves and translated them directly into video form. It's funny, energetic, absurd, joyful, even a little sad. The romance is beautiful. I've watched this silly thing more times than I'd like to admit.
It's okay to admit it. Some of us are in the hundreds, maybe thousands.
@@LordMarcus makes me smile every time.
This is not silly . This is the epitome of human sophistication. Lol
In the 2nd video, where she gets revenge: same ending. Kiddos have two daddies and a mommy, all under one roof. Also, they are in high school now and attracting their own [notspoilingit]friends! (Too bad there's nothing to spoil because if there's a part 2 for this vid, I've not seen it. Alas.)
@@tautau1a There's something about this video that stirs the imagination. I wrote a fanfic of it! which I will not link here...
This is probably the most expressive dance routine I’ve seen in any video at any point. You can almost see everything he is feeling throughout and it’s awesome.
Sia's Chandelier is very cool, too.
If I ever need an example of angry dancing I'm going to show people this.
Check out Christopher Walken's dancing in the video for Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim. Similar in how the moves are so expressive, they're almost dialogue.
Something about enemies to lovers just gets to me. Its someone seeing the worst of you and still choosing to love you

And I JUST noticed at 1:28 the scientist henchman in the background *swivels around* to "Oooo" at the camera lmao
Detail is on point.
Mine was the Henchpeople tapping their hand against their pants when they dance together
mierda
He even does it behind the guys with the ladder at 1:42
Omg thank you for this gem
The way he turns around and smiles warms my heart every time.
This is one of those music videos that you love and cannot explain in words to anyone you know why you love it.
His cute little angry dancing!!! The “kill” “release” buttons-shot. This is perfection. I can’t stop watching and smiling!
The absolutely heart warming smile that builds on his face when he realizes the hero loves him too.
1:05 His wife's face during that table setting moment? It speaks of so much pain and her trying beyond herself? Sigh. Love it. Give that actress an award immediately please! She's unbelievable! 💕
Was looking for this comment, she conveys so much in just one look. It's really impressive acting

This is legitimately one of my favorite music videos ever. So unexpectedly wholesome. And the only flaw is I feel awful for the wife being tossed aside like that but then she gets her own cool ending and I'm just. So overjoyed.
yes she becomes a badass villain, i wish i had this story continued
At least the alphabet boys got a rare win... Lol. Never thought my favourite video would be about gay love. More please!
He has a job so of course he gets custody. If you notice that the kids look a bit happier with Spy Dad, the girl has her hair down and out of braids. The boys hairs look freer too.

Really love how chaotic and isolated the supervillain's dance was, and how that is contrasted by the synchronised dance between the two
I haven’t even thought about this song in ages, but randomly woke up last night with it stuck in my head.
My favorite part by far is the red light and buzzer at 5 pm. The Evil Lair is closed until tomorrow at 9 am. Stop your evil lasering until tomorrow and go home to your “loved” ones. This isn’t you, this is just your day job.
That’s when he really stops and asks himself what he’s even doing, and why.
A not so subtle way of saying not everyone is all bad... Even if they come across as evil at first.
@@lxindustriesofficial BZZT, shift's over.
@@lxindustriesofficial But yes, even Dr. Evil and the Lasers aren't pure evil. They try to be, but why?
@@ianmcnaney6528 Perhaps to maintain or preserve a sense of self image?
@@lxindustriesofficial Obviously. I kidnap and laser people because that's what I do, because I'm evil. But I run my lasering on strict shifts, and when it's 5 PM it's time to stop lasering. Otherwise I get hell from the Evil Lasering Union Local 42.
You can't even imagine the cost of insurance for a gigantic laser murder cavern. Not only is there health and safety, and general liability, but what if I do something foolish with it like laser my arch-nemesis? His family would sue me for $100M.
Far better to, well...
Every time I watch this video (and it's a lot) I want a sequel.
enemies to lovers will forever be the best trope.
