'I Fink U Freeky': Die Antwoord's Latest Creepy Video Drops

Die Antwoord, we think you're freaky too.

The South African rap-trio's latest video for "I Fink U Freeky" brings back Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek for a black and white dancefest in some burnt-out cement basement.

Different figures gyrate unstoppably to a throbbing beat, wearing masks, wearing snakes, wearing suits made of newspaper, and wearing not very much at all, while Yo-Landi stares dead-eyed into the camera singing, "I think you're freaky and I like you a lot."

Die Antwoord, who rose to fame on the weirdness of "Enter the Ninja," has delivered another bizarro video. "I Fink U Freeky" features, among other things, bodies writhing next to desiccated doll's heads, an insect frying in some eggs on the stove, a dead lion and several dancing children.

The group's new album, "Ten$ion," comes out February 7th, released on the band's label ZEF records.

Just saw their video on MTV. Actually took the time to google the band to find out more about them. I just KNEW they weren't an American band. I was surprised they're from South Africa. I was thinking maybe Iceland, like Bjork, or one of the Scandinavian countries. The dancers reminded me of hillbillies who live in the Appalachians. They were indeed a strange bunch, but I was intrigued.

If the men of this country saw Yolandi Visser's body on stage or in Maxim magazine, trust me, the F bombs this band drops would not matter.

Seriously, if this girl does one half-naked or naked photo shoot for ANY U.S. periodical, you can kiss the reign of Lady Gaga goodbye.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She looks a little anorexic to me.

This is one of the most creative bands in the world today. All of their videos are miles ahead of the competition. Yes, they are disturbing, but they are much more imaginative than Lady Gaga and others of that ilk. The only reason they haven't made it in the USA is that they drop the "F" bomb more that Robert De Niro on a good day.

Blodo - "Music" is in the ears of the beholder.

This is the sort of stuff played over the speakers at some trendy clothes stores down in Soho. It always drives me out of the store.

Tom Devriendt, at African media blog Africa is a Country, breaks down the video, and some of the lyrics, as well as the borrowings (apart from Ballen's work) here: http://bit.ly/wfZUjX

I fink Die Antwoord is interesting and refreshing. This isn't their most mind-blowing video but it's a cool beat nonetheless. I always look forward to what they're up to.
