Drag queens, watermelon guts, gold glitter by the pound, porn star Stoya Doll and ample makeout scenes are a few of the things you’ll find in the video for Amanda Palmer’s parody track “Do It With a Rockstar,” from her Kickstarter-funded release Theatre is Evil. Co-created and directed by the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne (who also volunteered his Oklahoma City house as the set), the clip moves from drag queens’ dressing room to a hipster house party to Palmer’s show and then a hotel room. In her words, “The whole shoot was a hot and sweaty glittery blur, but basically … Wayne Coyne has created a whole SCENE of people down in OKC: a rogue pirate ship of technicians, helpers and arty folk who have a SERIOUSLY enthusiastic attitude about improv-ing together some crazy-ass art.” The video ends with Palmer shedding off all of her clothes and taking home one of her crowd members — which, hey, is a step up from her asking them to play for free.
Theatre is Evil is out now.
