TV On the Radio recently released the video for their hit first single “Happy Idiot” off their forthcoming “Seeds” album. The music video stars Pee-Wee Herman (actor Paul Reubens) as a race car driver losing his mind in the heat, seeing visions of “Doctor Who” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Karen Gillan:

Tunde Adebimpe from TV On the Radio explained the video’s influence, “I had this idea for the video that I thought would never happen, of Paul Reubens as a race car driver who slowly loses his mind…” he also says he took it to Funny or Die and they thought it was a great idea, so they went for it. Reubens has been a longtime fan of the band and easily agreed to star in the video. Tunde Adebimpe says the video was really fun to do and he loves how it came out, “I think our fans will like it. I hope so. The cool ones will anyways. The rest can suck it.” Watch “Happy Idiot” and read more of the interview here. Catch special guests TV On the Radio and opening act Massive Attack at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Friday, October 17!
