There's creepy, and then there's Death From Above 1979's "Virgins" video. In the Eva Michon-directed video, a bunch of Amish kids eat mushrooms, bang their heads, snort the ashes of the dead, lick each other's eyeballs, and get sprayed with projectile goat milk straight from an udder. So yeah, "creepy" is an understatement. Watch it below via MuchMusic.
The band themselves star in the video as cops. They shared this statement on the video: "The video takes cues from the lyrics of the song which are a meditation on innocence and coming of age. That very precarious time in life when sex is elusive, maybe even frightening but always compelling.”
"Virgins" appears on their last album The Physical World.
Michon, who's married to the band's Sebastien Grainger, also directed the recent documentary on the band, Life After Death From Above 1979.
