It’s like comparing the Bank of America guy’s “One” with the David Cross/Modest Mouse version of the same song.
What about this random-ish flickr version of the Shine video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OL6VsfwipI ?
I think it’s cooler, but that’s not saying much.

Funnier because of the serendipity of the images, I agree. Many State Fair animals during the singing about hight tech for example. But still no Carrboro. The music is so baaaad (and unintentionally too).
