Hump Day Helper -- The Kids Are Alright Edition


Because it's Wednesday, and we all need a pick-me-up to make it through the rest of the week in our respective hells, WDR is providing some fun.

Arctic Monkeys are one of those now-traditional English bands that get built up to near-Beatles hype in the UK, then fall back to Earth about 23 seconds later. Of course, neither extreme is correct, and these guys do a great job of putting a clever spin on energetic rock. So they are indeed worthy of your notice.

This week we're bringing you a video where in an attempt to get actual airplay, the band decided that instead of making just a traditional-style rock video, they're going to lean on the tropes of hip-hop videos. Namely: BOOTY.

Just like cornbread, ain't nothin' wrong with that.

She'll be saying 'use me',
'show me the jacuzzi'...
