Psychedelic dance video that puts me in a fine mood

If your day is in the doldrums, I present "Oh god, did you put something in my drink" (presumably not the original title, though who knows?), 3:17 worth of sheer freakout.

Oh god, did you put something in my drink (Thanks, Joeyx!)

• [Marc Wasserman]

  She is getting such a kick out of her own dancing, it’s impossible not to laugh with her.

  • [dumbbunny]

    Favourite dance move: driving the bus.

• [T]

  It’s so good, I couldn’t watch the whole thing. She’s one of those old Robert Crumb comix come to life! My belly is still hurting from the sheer elan of the whole thing!

• [Timothy Jeffries]

  Just FYI, this is a music video from the band Orphic Oxtra but the music was changed. The original is far more superior :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5BdyIGtYcg

  • [Dean Putney]

    That really is superior. The weird movements make a lot more sense in this context, and the title is all kinds of yes.

  • [Navin_Johnson]

    No way Jose, it’s so much better with the Omar Souleyman jams.

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Didn’t we have this on BB a couple of months ago?

    • [bobkat]

      I think I saw it on Dangerous Minds?

    • [OtherMichael]

       I just assumed you were on summer repeats.

  • [Robert Drop]

    Watching the original video made me laugh all over again.  It makes a lot more sense in context.  That is, if “sense” is the right word when talking about one of the members of a giant Icelandic klezmer group doing ironic go-go moves on top of psychedelic video.

• [James]

  All of my wat.

• [lysdexia]

  She and M.I.A. should start a dance troupe!

  • [Robert Drop]

    I suspect Sigrún Jónsdóttir might be too busy touring with Björk as a musician.

• [Ultan]

  [puts down the menu]  I’ll have what she’s having.

  • [dumbbunny]

    And hell, throw caution to the wind and make it a double.

• [Jesseham]

  Oh god, did you put something in my Boingboing?

• [Vengefultacos]

  You totally see her ass at 1:00. (Well, OK, someone’s ass… not totally sure its hers.)

  • [Just_Ok]

    it was shooped

  • [Mantissa128]

    The occasional cleavage was okay too. Music was good, psychadelic freakout was stellar, but it needed way more of her dark-haired friend who showed up only briefly at 1:49.

• [davide405]

  I believe this is the girl with kaleidoscope eyes :-)

• [theviceprovost]

  Wish I was as impressed as y’all;  guess it’s not only white GUYS who can’t dance.   Gorgeous eyes and smile — a woman one would love to meet, but the whole vid just was a little too contrived.  Loosen up (and try less textured (if any) upperunderclothes).  23.

• [Jim Kelly]

  You can’t fool me — that’s Jack Black in a wig and a leotard.

• [Franklin]

  I think I know that girl.

• [oasisob1]

  Soccer ball go-go boots, fake eyebrows and weird reversed hair flips; I’m in love.

• [Teller]

  She was terrific in “Manhattan.”

  • [Gyrofrog]

     I was going to say, I think this is a Hemingway.

• [kansas]

  That was just what I needed. Now I need those boots.

• [gumbowing]

  Isn’t that Miss Vladivostok 2005 starring in a Kazakh pop video?

• [crummett]

  lexamzz is probably wondering how (s)he suddenly got an extra 100k views. Thanks, boingboing!

• [Roi Truax]

  Love the tiara…

• [billstewart]

  Remember kids, if somebody offers you a green screen, Just Say No!

• [dejoh]

  I got up and danced with her.

• [robdobbs]

  Looks to me like someone is trying to hard to be a meme.

  • [Mike Johnson]

    and such a cliche, too! Learn the clarinet, join a Balkan pop orchestra, get access to a green screen. Dime a dozen.

• [blueelm]

  I remember that scarf video. No, really.

  • [llazy8]

    I shuddered! The memories came flooding back, and I couldn’t stop them.  

• [elchip]

  Three+ minutes of toe-tapping funkapsychedelica. That’s the good stuff.

• [Rusty Shackleford]

  This is making me very happy.

• [Mona Tara Morgan]

  Thanks, BoingBoing!  Not only did I enjoy this video, but the YT suggestions led to a great cache of weirdness.

• [mesocosm]

  It’s as if the unconscious Dude hallucinated Lakshmi in the form of a Nordic Richard Simmons. 

  • [Kimmo]

    I’m in awe of your descriptive abilities.

• [Jake0748]

  I liked the part where the Frankenstein cat came in. 

• [Benn Glazier]

  It’s the Omar Souleyman version of Björk’s Tesla.

• [Richard Pusateri]

  I reported my soul taken at 2:40.

• [Bob Corrigan]

  Looks like an ad for Shrim.

• [Rich Keller]

  The video was by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir. Now I have an understanding as to how Icelanders can believe in elves.

• [pjcamp]

  More donkey.

  • [Just_Ok]

    more donkey bell

• [Mitchell Glaser]

  Gott in himmel!

• [Emily Sosandso]

  While many parts of that where certainly entertianing, even funny, parts of that video will haunt my nightmares forever…  Those lack of eyes… or the lascvicious upnod.. *shudder*

• [JhmL]

  whatisthisidonteven @_@

• [Anon_Mahna]

  so this is what brown acid is like……..

• [Richard Dagenais]

  The dancing girl is Sigrún Jónsdóttir and I just discovered a trippy new band.

• [Just_Ok]

  So, who is going to post about this in the thread about Mind Blowing Movies?

• [Nell Anvoid]

  Someone…somehow…has GOT to get this into the opening ceremonies for the GOP convention later this year.  

  …Just because…

• [batesman]

  Kudos for the very hip choice of music, Omar Souleyman, I believe,

• [Jorpho]

  I saw this in passing a while ago and was kind of waiting for it to show up somewhere again.  At first I thought it was Leslie and the LY’s, but they would be sober in comparison, I suspect.

• [smallteam]

  I’m sure she’s a nice person and all that, and I have experienced my share of altered states… but for some reason I’m getting this Vishnu “I am become Time, the destroyer of worlds” kind of vibe from her incessant smiling and dancing atop the cosmos. Maybe it’s the eyebrows?
