70 million by Hold your horses
"An entertaining and cheeky music video for 70 Million, hit song by Franco-American band, Hold Your Horses!, offers a wink at art history as band members playfully reconstruct famous paintings in an off the wall lyrical interpretation all their own."
(YouTube)
+ Compare with some of the paintings (flavorwire.com)
+ The complete list of the famous paintings. (rtfm.es)
+ the LYRICS
"And you were white as snow; I was white as a sheet...
And 70 million should be in the know
And 70 million don't go out at all
And 70 million wouldn't walk this street
And 70 million would run to a hole
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
And 70 million never see it at all
And 70 million haven't tasted snow"
