breaks 'em down for you. Why Video Hangover? Because when you watch as many videos as we do, you're going to feel it afterwards.

Army of Lovers, 1993 Oh Army of Lovers, is there anything you won't set to techno music? elaborate video in the Lovers' oevure. But what it lacks in tiny pianos, it makes up for in biblical accuracy.

Moses wore eye shadow when he received the foam commandments, and his friend -- Nate, I think was his name -- had a moustache. It's all right there in the old testament. You can look it up And the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!

For the uninitiated, "Hevenu Shalom Aleichem" is a traditional Hebrew song that translates roughly to "We bring you peace." It also heralds the coming of a certain ex-linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs. Embracing truth, one stereotype at a time With all the hissing, mincing, and talk of diamond mines, "Israelism" plays like a senior thesis project at the University of Tehran film school.

And yet -- miniature Israeli flags! On a scale of Jerry Seinfeld to Mel Gibson's Dad, how anti-Semitic is this video? Is this harmless camp, or is there something more sinister going on?

Frankly, I'm not sure what to make of it. Which only confirms what I've know all along: I am easily distracted by boobs. Got a candidate for ?
