Mercredi Musical: Stromae (Tous les memes)

Okay, THIS is my favorite Stromae song–largely on the strength of this video.  I find the gender fluidity in this video riveting and the camera work fascinating and the whole thing quite marvelous.  

It’s the kind of pop culture moment that makes me wish I were enrolled in a gender studies class where we could just take it apart bit by bit to examine  the ways in which it’s awesome (as well as it’s inevitably limited–which for me come to the fore when I start thinking about how this works with the lyrics).

But seriously?  Check out the choreography around 1:10.  I LOVE IT.
