Music - Alternate Queens Of The Stone Age "Sick, Sick, Sick" Video

Still no sign of Bulby! But this skeezed-out second-take on QOTSA's first Vulgaris single comes packing its own digital delights, including a thrashing, hypercolored take on the dancing iPod silhouettes and a lost little girl with a thing for flicking off the cam and baring her assets. Obviously not intended for MTV USA! We scanned the YouTube comments for elucidation, and we came up with "This one is the official German video." Doubtful, but for your enjoyment, here's "Krank, Krank, Krank."

"Sick, Sick, Sick" is the first single released by Queens of the Stone Age from their 2007 album Era Vulgaris. The song features Julian Casablancas of The Strokes on backing vocals and Casio synth guitar. If you missed the original video of this song, it can be seen here. As for the alternate videos, taken from the single's Wikipedia page:
Liam Lynch directed two official alternate videos for the song:
  • "The Bulby Video" featuring the bulb from the single and album cover
  • A third version, released on queensofthestoneage.de on May 30, was made by Lynch at his expense, i.e. without being commissioned, outside of the label, but once it was finished the label picked it up and made it the official video for Germany. The video which stars Lynch, Josh Homme, and Wendy Rae Fowler (in her fourth appearance in a Queens of the Stone Age video, among them Burn the Witch) was shot at Lynch's house in front of a green screen, without any crew. Later animation similar to the Go with the Flow video was added.
The new album hits stores in the US on June 12, 2007; I'm looking forward to it.
