The video for the single, Let’s
Have a Kiki from the ever-inspiring
Scissor Sisters is presented as part sing-along, complete with highlighted
lyrics onscreen, and part instructional dance lesson (note the seamless single
take), resulting in 4:05 of all-out, full-blown attitude.
Ana Matronic is a standout
at the beginning, serving up major ‘tude as she leaves a voicemail recounting
her misadventures through the streets of New York. Jake Shears lends his
friendly support, ready to bust-a-move (and boy, does he!) in his mesh tank top
and football pants (naturally). Babydaddy is featured on the drum machine and
Del Marquis on tambourine, with two female backup teachers to bookend the
how-to.
Although the video is filmed in a single space, there is so much that
goes on. It almost requires 4 or more viewings to really take in each
choreographer’s individual teaching style, albeit it’s a style that is
delightfully unpolished and full of abandon.
Let’s Have a Kiki is pure Scissor Sisters—fun, catchy (to a ridiculous degree) and smartly silly,
allowing you to “bid adieu to your ennui.” And don’t fret, Ana will explain
what a kiki is, and according to her, it’s “marvelous.” Important note: Her
choice of language is quite “colorful,” so definitely keep the sing-along
adults only. BSo
