New Arctic Monkeys Video – “Fluorescent Adolescent”

In talking summer fest season, Arctic Monkeys bassist Nick O'Malley talked "Fluorescent Adolescent" with NME, saying, "It's a bit of a summer hit that one ... we've been playing it all across America. When Alex says, 'This next song's "Fluroescent Adolescent,"' you just hear loads of girls screaming. It seems a really female-friendly song..."

Which is probably why the Sheffield lads took a left turn and set the track's debonair Strokesian air to a sorta funny, sorta wtf romp involving vigilante clowns and extended car scenes; not sure what facepainted pugilists have to do with getting it "in your fishnets," but that cute flashback may hold some answers. Also, recognize that ending?
